Permanent bruising under eye after rejuran - what will improve this? (Photos)

Question

In September of this year I had rejuran i injected in my under eyes in Korea. Since then there remains a blue discoloration under my eye- that looks like a bruise but could also be a tyndall effect? I have had multiple laser treatments with PDL and a spot treatment with ND-yag none of which have made a difference. Has anyone had any experience with this? Thank you so much for your time!

Dealing with persistent discoloration under the eyes after Rejuran injections can be frustrating. The blue discoloration you're experiencing might indeed be due to the Tyndall effect, which occurs when dermal fillers are placed too superficially, causing a bluish tint.

Here are some potential options to consider for addressing this issue:

Consultation with a Specialist: It's essential to consult with an experienced dermatologist or cosmetic surgeon who can assess the situation accurately. They can determine if the discoloration is due to the Tyndall effect or another cause.

Hyaluronidase Treatment: If the discoloration is due to a superficial placement of hyaluronic acid-based fillers, hyaluronidase can be used to dissolve the filler. However, since Rejuran is not a hyaluronic acid filler, this may not apply directly but is worth discussing with your provider.

Camouflage with Makeup: While not a permanent solution, using color-correcting makeup can help mask the discoloration. A peach or orange concealer can neutralize blue tones effectively.

Alternative Laser Treatments: If previous laser treatments have been ineffective, your specialist might consider alternative laser options or other light-based therapies that target pigmentation differently.

Time and Observation: Sometimes, discoloration can fade with time. Monitoring the area for any changes and avoiding additional interventions that might exacerbate the issue can be beneficial.

Gentle Massage and Skincare: If advised by your dermatologist, gentle massage and specific skincare products designed to improve circulation and skin health might aid in reducing discoloration.

It's important to work closely with a trusted healthcare provider who can guide you through the most appropriate and safe options based on your individual case.
