Hemosiderin Staining - whats the most effective way to remove it?

November 27, 2017
Asked By:supgirl88 in 4066

I had 0.5ml of filler placed in each upper cheek 7 weeks ago. The injector hit a vein and left me with a bad haematoma. I am now at 7 weeks and the bruising has not changed now for the last 3 weeks. I have been diagnosed with hemosiderin staining and I am unable to cover it successfully with makeup. I have read that Q-Switched laser can be effective? What depth would the laser be best set at for under eye? Is it safe in this area & are there any risks of making things worse?

Is it normal to feel the HA Filler under the skin 2 weeks post injection?
Robyn D. Siperstein, MD says:

Yes, it is normal to feel the filler post-injection.  As long as you don't see it, it is best to leave as is, though a firm massage can lessen it if it bothers you.  You can think of it as scaffolding holding up the skin and preventing it from wrinkling.  The only time I...
