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

supgirl88Nov 27, 2017
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?

Hi @peachykeen77. Juvederm Voluma and Sculptra are great options for the temple area. I recommend seeking treatments from expert injectors who have the skill and experience to precisely inject fillers into treatment areas and avoid risks and complications. Best of luck, Dr. Nima
