Hello, I received a Juvederm injection under my eyes 3 weeks ago. One week later, I noted a perpetual blue-brown pooling/circle like ring around one eye. And more like a line down another. I have attached a picture.My injecting doctor, well-known in this area has attempted to used a little hyaluronidase to take away some of the Juvederm. This has done little to improve it, and said it might be hemosiderin staining. What can be done about this, as I was told some lasers are unsafe on darker skin? Is this permananent?
