Treatment of dark circles and tear troughs in Paris 16th

The treatment of dark circles and the tear trough relies on hyaluronic acid injections adapted to this delicate area. The procedure aims to fill in hollows, rebalance volumes, and soften the transition between the lower eyelid and the cheek. The hyaluronic acid used has a specific texture, fluid and slightly hydrophilic, in order to respect the local anatomy. The desired objective remains a rested look, without altering the expression or weighing down the features.

Who is this treatment for?

The treatment is intended for people with hollow under-eye circles, a marked tear trough, or a persistent tired appearance.
It is suitable for patients whose discomfort primarily stems from a volume deficit, rather than isolated pigmentation.
The treated area concerns the infraorbital groove, sometimes extending to the eyelid-cheek junction.
The treatment may not be suitable in cases of pregnancy, active autoimmune disease, local infection, or coagulation disorder.

Session Procedure

The session generally lasts 20 to 30 minutes.
The procedure targets hollow under-eye circles and the tear trough, with precise adaptation to your anatomy.
The injected product is a resorbable hyaluronic acid, specifically formulated for this indication.
The injection most often uses a flexible cannula, to minimize bruising and improve comfort.
The procedure includes precise marking, progressive injection, and then immediate result assessment.

Results

The effect is immediately visible, with progressive improvement in the following days.
The desired outcome remains natural, without over-correction or artificial swelling.
The optimal result usually appears between 7 and 10 days.
The average duration of the result varies from 9 to 12 months, depending on the product used and your metabolism.

Aftercare and Recommendations

Temporary redness, moderate swelling, or slight bruising may occur.
These effects generally disappear within a few days.

The price depends on the product used, the quantity required, and the anatomical complexity.
A personalized quote is provided during the initial consultation, after analyzing your indication.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between hollow, pigmented and vascular dark circles?

Hollow dark circles are linked to sub-orbital volume loss and respond well to hyaluronic acid injection. Pigmented dark circles (hyperpigmentation) require depigmenting treatments or laser. Vascular dark circles (bluish, linked to skin transparency) respond less to HA alone and may require other approaches (peeling, laser, PRP).

What are the vascular risks of HA injection in dark circles?

The sub-orbital region contains fragile vessels. The main risk is accidental embolization causing vascular compression. Dr Alimi uses a thin cannula and controlled injection techniques to limit this risk, with hyaluronidase available to dissolve the product if needed.

How long does HA dark circle injection last?

The result generally lasts 9 to 18 months depending on the product used, metabolism and skin thickness. The product gradually reabsorbs. A touch-up can be considered after 12 months on average to maintain the effect.

What is the Tyndall effect on dark circles?

The Tyndall effect is a bluish coloration that may appear when hyaluronic acid is injected too superficially, in transparency under the thin eyelid skin. It is avoided by injecting deeper, under the orbicularis muscle. If present, it can be corrected by hyaluronidase.

Is HA injection in dark circles painful?

Discomfort is moderate. Numbing cream can be applied 20-30 minutes before. Some products contain a local anesthetic (lidocaine). The session lasts 15-30 minutes and resumption of activities is immediate.

What if the result is unsatisfactory?

Hyaluronic acid is reversible: a hyaluronidase injection dissolves the product in a few hours. This allows correction of a possible Tyndall effect, inadequate placement or simply restoration of the initial appearance if the result is unsatisfactory.
