HiTi for tear troughs

Treatment Effect

Treatment Effects

- Immediate Results: The injection instantly addresses volume loss in the tear trough area, plumping the region and giving the face a more youthful and energetic appearance.

- Long-term Results: The amino acid components in HiTi stimulate fibroblast activity, continuously promoting the body's own collagen synthesis. For mild tear troughs caused by atrophy of the infraorbital fat pads, a single treatment typically lasts 6 to 12 months. However, the specific duration varies based on individual physiology, aftercare, and the exact type of product used. For instance, HiTi, primarily composed of hyaluronic acid, generally lasts 3 to 6 months, while Panda Needle, primarily composed of collagen, typically lasts 8 to 12 months.

Is this suitable for me?

Suitable Candidates

Ideal for individuals with prominent tear troughs caused by atrophy of the infraorbital fat pad or sagging of soft tissues along the lower edge of the orbital septum. Also recommended for those with dark circles accompanied by tear trough issues, as Panda Shot can simultaneously improve dark circles.

Unsuitable Candidates

Individuals with allergic constitutions, particularly those allergic to components in Hi-Ti; those with coagulation disorders who may experience persistent bruising or granulomatous reactions post-injection; and individuals with deep tear troughs accompanied by significant tension in the orbicularis oculi ligament, as simple filler may worsen unevenness under the eyes.

Hi-tea treatment for tear troughs primarily uses injection needles. When selecting, focus on the needle's gauge. Generally, finer needles cause less trauma to soft tissue, reducing post-operative swelling and pain. A fan-shaped injection technique with blunt-tip needles is typically employed, as this minimizes damage to fragile periorbital blood vessels.

Haiti for tear troughs mainly uses injection needles; when selecting, focus on needle gauge. Generally, finer needles cause less trauma to soft tissues, reducing postoperative swelling and pain. Blunt needles with a fan-shaped injection technique are typically employed to minimize damage to delicate periorbital blood vessels.

Price

Price

The cost of Hi-Ti treatment for tear troughs is influenced by various factors, including brand, dosage, region, clinic, and the physician's skill level. Typically, a single session ranges from approximately 200,000 to over 100,000 KRW. For instance, standard Hi-Ti filler for tear troughs tends to be more affordable, while Panda Needle may be priced slightly higher.

Expected Outcome

Expected Results

For mild tear troughs, filler injections with Hi-Ti can significantly reduce the depth of the tear trough, improving the overall facial appearance and creating a more youthful look.

However, in cases of deep tear troughs or complex conditions such as tension in the orbicularis oculi ligament, a completely smooth result may not be achievable, and filler alone might lead to unevenness or irregularities.

Combination Therapy

Combined Therapy

Combining radiofrequency skin tightening with Hiti filler for tear troughs can prolong the results, but the interval between the two treatments should be at least one month. Radiofrequency skin tightening stimulates further collagen production in the skin, working synergistically with Hiti filler to achieve longer-lasting improvement of tear troughs.

Adverse Effects and Complications

Side Effects and Complications

Common side effects: Temporary redness and mild swelling may occur after injection, typically subsiding within 24 to 48 hours.

Severe complications: Improper technique may cause the Tyndall effect, resulting in a blue-gray discoloration of the skin; vascular occlusion can also occur. If signs of ischemia such as skin pallor or severe pain appear, immediate medical attention is required. Repeated injections may lead to lymphatic drainage impairment, causing persistent periorbital edema. In some cases, nodule formation may occur.

Severe complications: Improper technique can lead to the Tyndall effect, causing a bluish-gray discoloration of the skin. Vascular occlusion may also occur; if symptoms such as skin pallor and severe pain indicative of ischemia appear, immediate medical attention is required. Repeated injections can impair lymphatic drainage, resulting in persistent periorbital edema. Additionally, some individuals may develop nodules.

Self-Symptom Check

Symptom Self-Assessment

Initial assessment can be made by observing the facial appearance. If a distinct concave groove appears along the inner side of the lower eyelid starting from the inner corner of the eye, and worsens with age or fatigue, tear trough issues may be present. However, for an accurate evaluation of the cause and severity of tear troughs, a professional assessment at a specialized medical aesthetic clinic is required.

Select Treatment Plan

Doctors will develop a personalized treatment plan based on factors such as the patient's tear trough condition, skin status, and individual needs. For example, mild tear troughs may be treated with a single Hyaluron-based injection, while more severe cases may require multiple injections or combination therapies. Patients should actively cooperate with the doctor's examination and diagnosis, providing accurate medical history and demand information.
