Y-Solution

• How deep the tear trough hollow is, any tendency to puffiness, and which Y-Solution line suits the under-eye
• What comes first is not the Y-Solution brand but which formulation will be used for which depth of hollow. We look at how the tear trough connects to the front of the cheek, your usual swelling and thin skin to judge whether injecting under the eyes would help. Where fat protrusion is significant, we also explain the limits of filling.

Suitability requires an examination. Skin thickness, health and previous procedures may make a different approach more appropriate.

  Where you are now, and where we start

  How deep the tear trough hollow is, any tendency to puffiness, and which Y-Solution line suits the under-eye

• 02

  The change you want, the impression you keep

  At consultation, we first look at how deep the tear trough hollow is, any tendency to puffiness, and which Y-Solution line suits the under-eye.

Y-Solution

Under-eye darkness may involve hollows, protruding fat, pigmentation or skin quality. Suitability is judged after checking the product’s approved use, the condition of your eyelids and previous treatments. Whether each product is injected directly under the eyes or used on the surrounding area is decided at the examination.

How it works

• 01

  What sets it apart

  It does not remove pigment itself or protruding fat, and if your under-eye area tends to swell or the skin is very thin, swelling, visible product and unevenness are considered first. The actual formulation and treatment area, rather than the brand, are the basis for the choice.

• 02

  Assessing the change

  With HA products, lines, hydration and surface quality are assessed after swelling settles. The area and formulation influence the course and duration. Rather than recommending a fixed number of sessions up front, we decide whether and how often to repeat from your skin condition, the specific product instructions and your response to the first treatment. Allow recovery time before an important event.

1. 01

   Start with the concern

   What comes first is not the Y-Solution brand but which formulation will be used for which depth of hollow. We look at how the tear trough connects to the front of the cheek, your usual swelling and thin skin to judge whether injecting under the eyes would help. Where fat protrusion is significant, we also explain the limits of filling.

2. 02

   Understand your product

   Filler can help soften shadows caused by hollows. It does not remove pigment itself or protruding fat, and if your under-eye area tends to swell or the skin is very thin, swelling, visible product and unevenness are considered first. The actual formulation and treatment area, rather than the brand, are the basis for the choice.

3. 03

   Plan through recovery

   Rather than filling the trough completely from the start, we check the shadows from the front and at an angle once the swelling has gone. We also look at the shape when you smile and differences between the two sides, and judge conservatively whether any remaining hollowing needs additional injection. If previous filler remains, its amount and location are also taken into account when deciding whether to add more.

What the procedure is like

• Avoid strong irritation, overheating and strenuous exercise while the skin settles. Follow your individual instructions for when to resume face washing and makeup.
• Massage and pressure advice differs by product. Follow your clinician’s instructions rather than another product’s routine.
• Persistent swelling, a bluish tint showing through, unevenness and nodules can occur. Rarely, blocked blood vessels can cause serious complications such as skin necrosis, vision damage or blindness, so severe pain, changes in skin color or visual problems need immediate medical care.

Safety & considerations

Worsening pain, pale or mottled skin, visual symptoms or breathing difficulty need urgent medical attention. Outcomes and duration vary; a specific result is not guaranteed.

1. Immediately

   Initial swelling and fullness are not the final result.

2. Early recovery

   Monitor bruising, swelling and injection marks. Contact the clinic if symptoms worsen or persist.

3. Next steps

   Plan any further session only after assessing the response and recovery.

Where fat protrusion is significant, we also explain the limits of filling.

• Q. How many Y-Solution sessions will I need?

If previous filler remains, its amount and location are also taken into account when deciding whether to add more.

• Q. What is recovery and aftercare like after Y-Solution?
