Does IPL or Tri-Luma help correct hemosiderin stains? I ended up with severe bruising after Juvederm injections under my eyes. Thanks.
Answer: Bruising under the eyes Pulsed dye laser is your answer. It works remarkably well for bruising. Some physicians are not familiar with this technique. The settings are 10 mm spot size, 6 ms pulse duration and 6 mj of energy. You won't see much change immediately, but within a few days you'll see the bruising start to resolve.

CONTACT NOW Answer: Under eye bruise after Juvederm injections We agree with Dr. Buckingham and use the pulsed dye laser for under eye bruises after injections. Normally these bruises can be resolved within 2-3 days after treatment whereas without treatment, they may last for months.

Answer: Eyelid discoloration after Juvederm The eyelid discoloration after Juvederm was most likely present to some degree before the Juvederm injection, but highlighted after filliing of the area. The pigmentation is a combination of hemosiderin and melanin. I generally treat these with Hydroquinone for the melanin pigmentation and a combination of chemical peeling, Retin A, and topical Vitamin C. This generally improves the discoloration.

Answer: Triluma helps melanin, not hemosiderin If that is indeed the problem (hemosiderin) a laser that targets blood might be best. IPL is non-coherent and has some absorption by blood. Triluma bleaches melanin and is excellent for sun damage and melasma. Frankly, I have never seen filler cause hemosiderin stain, even with severe briusing, since the circulation to the face is so excellent. I'd be sure this is indeed the problem before you do something that could have other complications.
