Persistent dark spot after under eye filler, PIH or herosidian bruising? (Photos)

Asked By:Polite28648 in Jacksonville, Florida

I got under eye/tear trough filler done a year ago. I bruised pretty badly and I noticed I had a blue/brown hue a few weeks after. I suspect it was the Tyndall effect. I had it dissolved and refilled and the dark brown spot persists, even when the filler was dissolved it was still there! PIH or hemosiderin bruising? I just want to know what it is so I can best treat it. Not sure if lasers or a topical cream like hydroquinone is the best option.
