Title : A simplified tick® technique for safe and effective tear trough correction using hyaluronic acid fillers

Abstract:

Background: The anatomy of the tear trough region is complex and its aesthetic correction using dermal fillers is frequently associated with complications. There is a need for a simplified, safe, and reproducible injection technique.

Materials and Methods: A total of 150 patients with varying grades of tear trough deformity were treated using a simplified Tick® technique. Each patient received three bolus injections placed at anatomically defined regions of the tear trough. All injections were administered in the deep supraperiosteal plane beneath the orbicularis oculi muscle.

Results: The Tick® technique demonstrated significant improvement in Global Aesthetic Improvement scores with minimal complications. No Tyndall effect or nodules were observed. Approximately 90% of patients showed very high satisfaction.

Conclusion: The Tick® technique offers a safe, effective, and user-friendly approach for tear trough correction with high patient satisfaction.
