Is this the tyndall effect I am seeing? This is one month post injections. Should I get resolved or will this go away on its own? Thank you in advance!!
Answer: Tear trough Hi @jennyjam. Tyndall usually presents as a bluish discoloration. If a HA dermal filler was used, the product can be reversed with Hyaluronidase. Best of luck, Dr. Nima

Answer: Tyndall Effect It is difficult to tell from the picture. Usually the TyNall effect is more bluish. This looks more discolored as a result of a bruise. If you had a bruise from the filler injection then this is likely. If this is the case, then IPL will help diminish this. Also, the area looks uneven which suggests an incorrect placement of the filler.

Answer: What is the Tyndall effect and how to treat it?? Ask Dr Ellen Hi there,A bit tough to tell from your pics. However, you do have slight 'pillows' at the lid-cheek junction on both sides. The skin looks hyper-pigmented as opposed to a bluish tint- which is seen when hyaluronic acids are placed superficially. Is the filler a hyaluronic acid?HA fillers can last a long time in this location. So, you don't have to live with it if you are dis-satisfied. An easy remedy for HA fillers is to add a tiny amount of Hyaluronidase to reduce the volume.Good luck!In good health,Ellen Mahony, MD

Answer: Tyndall effect after filler injection to the tear troughs Honestly, it's hard to tell based on the photo you have uploaded. Tyndall usually presents as a bluish discoloration. I would followup with your injector to discuss your concerns. If a hyaluronic acid filler was used, then it could be easily reversed with hyaluronidase. Tyndall can be avoided by deeper placement of the filler.

Answer: Tyndall effect from dermal fillers at tear trough Thank you for your question. It could possibly be tyndall effect from dermal filler being injected to superficially. Tyndall effect is caused by light scattering from a small cavity created when the hyaluronic acid filler reflects light through thin skin. Different wavelengths are transmitted while others reflected and will give the bluish color. Since dermal fillers are non permanent, it will get better and resolve with time. If you wish to have the dermal filler remove, hyaluronic acid type fillers can be dissolved with an enzyme called hyaluronidase. I recommend going back to your injector for a proper follow up, examination and treatment plan. I hope this help. All the best,
