Darkness Under Eyes Made Worse By Hyaluronidase - Laser Correction?

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?

A: Laser for dark circles

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.

Is Vasculitis a Contraindication for Laser Resurfacing?

I'm a 25 y\o female, five months ago i was diagnosed with vasculitis that the doctors weren't sure if it was henoch schonlein or reactive vasculitis.

The rash appeared on my legs for about 2 weeks and gone without any complications. Now i want to do laser resurfacing for my face or at least microdermabrasion for fine wrinkles, but i have read that autoimmune disorders are contraindications for such procedures.

Is it dangerous for me? What are the risks? thanks

A: That is tricky

As a general rule, for cosmetic surgery, you want things to be optimum. If you have active vasculitis, I would not recommend it, because of the risk of scarring.

I think microdermabrasion would be fine, but I would check with your rheumatologist and plastic surgeon before considering an aggressive procedure like laser resurfacing.
