I have always had darkness under my eyes, I have light skin, blonde hair, blue eyes, and I have been prone to undereye darkness. I recently had all my fillers dissolved under my eyes with Hyaluronidase. My eyes seem to look worse now, Its been a week, I have more bags and the under eye darkness is back. My question, is there a laser that takes away darkness or is filler my only option again if done right?
The answer is NO. Your best option in my opinion at this point is to be patient. Although Hyaluronidase was injected 1 wk ago, you may still have some filler left over and probably some swelling. I would not add another treatment at this point as it may make things more complicated. I would wait and then re-asses to see if further Hyaluronidase will be required.

My consultant wants me to have a general anesthesia for full face ebrium laser treatment, but I would prefer to have local anesthesia for the treatment instead? How is the pain under local?
I do a lot of deep Erbium full face resurfacing. It is awesome and gives phenomenal results. The amount of anesthesia is proportion to the depth of the laser resurfacing. If the surgeon is doing a very shallow peel to just freshen up your skin, topical anesthesia is good enough. However, deep resurfacing to really regenerate new skin, collagen, etc will require deeper anesthesia. I recommend IV sedation with blocks. I don't think general anesthesia is required.
