Under eye fillers + photo facial laser treatment?

I'm going for some photo facial laser treatments and fillers around the under eye area. I was wondering if it is safe to go for the fillers first and then undergo the laser treatment? Will it affect the fillers in any way?

A: Under eye fillers should be safe with photofacial

Jonathan Sonne, MD

I feel that undereye fillers are placed deeply enough that they should not be effected by light based treatments. However, erring on the side of caution, I generally treat with light based treatments first and then place filler. I routinely do both treatments on the same day. 

A: Under eye fillers and fotofacial

Fillers placed under the eyes are in a deep plane.  Usually under the muscle.  A fotofacial treatment does not penetrate this deeply and so it is entirely safe and will in no way effect the filler.
