Tear trough (infraorbital cavity) is the natural depression area formed at the orbital-cheek border; It is the anatomical region with the highest risk for hyaluronic acid filler injection due to 0.5 mm skin thickness, SOOF (suborbicularis oculi fat) atrophy and proximity to the infraorbital artery.
Thermage FLX is an FDA 510(k) approved non-invasive skin tightening device produced by Solta Medical, which triggers immediate collagen contraction (immediate tightening) and subsequent neocollagenesis by volumetric heating in the skin dermis layer with 6 MHz monopolar radiofrequency (RF) energy, and offers impedance-compatible energy regulation with the AccuREP algorithm.
Toner is a liquid product that balances the pH of the skin after cleansing and acts as a residue cleaner. It is divided into the categories of traditional astringen (alcohol-based, for aged skin) vs modern hydration tonic (glycerin + hyaluronic acid) vs exfoliating tonic (AHA 4-7%, BHA 2% — active exfoliating agent).
Tyndall effect is a bluish-purplish color appearance under the skin that occurs due to the physics principle that the hyaluronic acid (HA) filler injected into the superficial dermis (<2 mm) scatters short wavelengths of light (blue ray) and absorbs long wavelengths (red); It is especially seen in the tear trough, lip vermillion edge and perilabial areas.
