Hello everyone, welcome back to our channel I'm Dr Amel from City Skin Clinic and today I am
super excited to talk to you guys about one of my all-time favorite fillers and products that we
always have in our clinic and this is Teosyal Redensity 2 and it's THE under eye filler
to use for tear trough correction, in my opinion and I'm going to speak to you guys about
it and why i just think it's incredible. Before we get going, if you're new to our channel, welcome,
please subscribe if you want to see more of our content. We're uploading content three times a
week. If you are a returning viewer, welcome back and it's great to have you. If you guys
have any questions about under eye fillers or Teosyal Redensity 2 or any aesthetic treatments,
leave a comment below. So, what is Teosyal Redensity 2? Well, before I tell you what it is,
it's important to know this is a dermal filler and it's used by us and many
other reputable clinics for under eye hollows. So we use it for tear trough correction, which is
filling the hollows under here, and that helps reduce the appearance of hollows, under eye circles
and bags as well. If you're curious about this treatment and want to know more, we have a
couple of really good (my opinion) videos about it and they'll be linked at the end of this video.
So, Teosyal Redensity 2 is a hyaluronic acid dermal filler.
What's special about it? Well, firstly it's the only filler that's licensed for use in the under
eye area and it's been specifically designed for this purpose. It's made by Teoxane, which
is a Swiss manufacturer and they make a bunch of other really great, high quality fillers but
in terms of our clinic the one that we use the most often is Teosyal Redensity 2.
Just as an aside, I'm also a huge fan of their RHA range but that's for another video. So,
this filler, Teosyal Redensity 2 is super special because of many reasons. So
number one, I mentioned before, it's been designed and approved specifically for
use in this area. Now that is so, so important because we know in terms of under eye fillers,
I hope if you've been following our channel for a little bit, you know it's not a one-size-fits-all.
You can't use the same filler that you would use in the jawline for the under eye hollows or the
the same thing you use for the lips for that. This is not appropriate and some places may
do that, but it's not appropriate to do that. The under eye area is really, really special and very
delicate and it's very easy to get, even in the best hands, complications or problems there;
so we want to minimize the risk of these complications and problems as much as possible,
whilst at the same time giving a great result. So the thing that's special about the under eye
area is firstly the skin, and you'll see this on yourselves, is super thin, it doesn't really have
fat underneath there and it's incredibly thin, which presents two challenges.
Number one, it means that it's really easy to see a product underneath that area so
if you place a really thick filler under that area, chances are you're going to see
it in the form of lumps or blobs in that area or even just the
outline of it; the other is if you place filler too superficially in this area you may get something
called the Tyndall effect, which is where the filler appears blue and so when the light hits the skin
the filler underneath gives a blue appearance and that's a terrible, terrible side effect. The other
thing that can happen, because this area is so thin and delicate, is you can end up, if you use a
filler that attracts a lot of water and that usually happens in thicker fillers,
you may end up with swelling under the eyes and just having bags under the eyes, which
is again not a reason why people get tear trough fillers. So these are the aesthetic problems that
can happen when you use the wrong filler in that area and I'm really only talking about hyaluronic acid
dermal fillers, because I honestly think it's really inappropriate to inject
any other type of filler in the face. I think hyaluronic acid dermal fillers are safe, they've
been around for a long time, they're unlikely to cause allergies or adverse reactions if they're
injected properly and on top of that, they can be dissolved immediately and that's so important
when you're injecting anywhere in the face but, in particularly high risk, advanced areas it's really
important to just use the the highest quality products that are appropriate for that area.
So we know that it's very important to use hyaluronic acid dermal fillers in that area
and it's important to use the right consistency, so this is where Teosyal Redensity comes in.
So Redensity 2 is quite a nice, thin filler so it means that it's actually
not providing a huge amount of volume because, whilst we want to correct the under
eye hollows, we don't want to end up with kind of blobs under the eyes, we want to have a nice, smooth
appearance, we don't want to attract too much water, we want the filler to sit there and to smooth,
kind of blend between the eye area and the cheek area. So this is the other reason because of
the thickness of this filler, or the thinness rather, and because of its elastic properties
and because it doesn't attract too much water, you can comfortably inject it, provided it's
injected in the right layer, deep enough, you can actually have that smoothing out of the hollows
and that's what refreshes the eye area but without giving rise to lumps or anything unusual
or a Tyndall appearance. The other thing that's great about this filler is it's been formulated
with vitamins and antioxidants and those help improve the quality of the skin and help gently
brighten the under eye area. We don't provide tear trough correction for dark circles under the eyes
where they're caused by hyperpigmentation, there are other treatments for that
but sometimes people with under eye hollows also just have a little bit of sun damage or a
little bit of darkness in the area and this helps stimulate the skin and rejuvenate this area.
So it's fantastic and, you know, when you perform something that's advanced like tear trough
correction, you're really only as good as obviously your skills but also the products that you use. So
if you use a product that's specifically designed for this area, that's going to address the problem,
then you're much more likely to get a really good outcome and if you are incredibly skilled then
using the best product is only going to improve on your results. So if you're the patient I
would say, you know, it's really within your eyes, I encourage everyone, all of our clients to
find out as much as possible about our products, you know, if you're going to any clinic
or thinking of any of these treatments, it's important to understand which product
they're going to use, why they're going to use that product, and do a little research about the
products themselves, just so that you know, it's something's going into your body, so it's really
important to know about it. So that's why I'm such a huge fan of Teosyal Redensity 2 from when we
started to introduce tear trough fillers, from the very beginning, we've only ever used Teosyal
Redensity 2in that area. It's a beautiful filler, you can use it with a needle, you can use
it with a micro cannula which is what we often use for certain bits of the tear trough
and, you know, the other thing about this filler is there's very little down time because there's not
much in the way of swelling with it and so it's beautiful to apply and one of the
other things great about this filler is you pretty much see 70 - 80% of the effect straight
away just after the treatment and then i tell people normally it takes about two to four weeks
to see the rest of it. In our clinic we only ever use 1 ml of filler usually, of Teosyal
Redensity, to split between both eyes as needed in the initial setting, and then if people need
additional treatment because for example they have moderate to severe under eye hollows, then they
come back in about four to six weeks' time and have an additional treatment so that you're kind of
allowing the filler to do its maximal work and then if needed people come back and have some
more. It's also a great filler because it lasts for something like eight to twelve months, in
some people that can be a bit less and in some people may even last longer than that.
So it's great for use in that area and it plays well with some of our other favourite fillers. So
often people with kind of severe, or even moderate to severe under eye hollows and who also have
volume loss in the cheek, they may need both cheek and tear trough fillers combined and
in that situation, remember we say the right tool for the for the right job, so we'll use the Teosyal
Redensity 2 for the under eye area and then we'll use something like Juvederm
Ultra or Juvederm Voluma for the cheek area and that helps restore volume and structure
to the cheek and lifts up the mid face and then we smooth the under eye hollows with that.
The results are beautiful when you combine them if needed. All of these treatments,
we approach very much as clinical treatments, you know, these are medical treatments. We go
through the pros, the cons, if someone is going to benefit, or we think they might not benefit. It's
really important to also understand the potential risks with any treatment and so we have a thorough
consultation and consent process and that, again, helps us make sure that this is the
appropriate treatment and make treatments as safe as possible. I haven't mentioned any of
the kind of risks of tear trough treatment just because i've done that in another video
and really these risks, no matter what product you use, there's always a risk of them happening
but you minimize that by using high quality products and you minimize that by going to someone
who is trained and experienced in providing these treatments and who can provide adequate follow-up
as well. All in all, tear trough correction in people who need it is an amazing treatment. There's so
much benefit from it if it's used correctly and to be honest, we can only ever really in our clinic
use Teosyal Redensity 2 because it's such a great filler; we've had years and years of using it and it's
a fantastic filler, the results are incredible and it's really the the best of the best, I would say,
for the under eye area and it's the only filler licensed for use in that area and I always tell
clients this, you know, in a world where there is only one product that is approved for use
in that area, why would we use anything else? I'm not dissing other brands of filler,
we use other brands fitter for other stuff and they're amazing, but personally, myself and
our doctors in the clinic, this is what I like for all of us to use, it's the only thing we use for
the under eye area. I am going to put a link below for our Teosyal Redensity 2 page if
