Bruise present for 8 months, help! How can I treat this? Laser? (Photo)

Question

Just had a biopsy and my results don't show any iron in the blood under my eye. My eye is blue underneath and some doctors say laser can help and some say permanent. Backstory is that this discoloration showed up 8 months ago and yes I had filler done and some of it was in the dermis or epidermis but I have had 3 sessions of filler dissolver done. My labs show hemoraging and granuloma tissue. I will get permanent makeup if this doesn't go away by June of this year

At this point, if you feel that it’s related to your filler, only time will help. Do not do any further treatment in the form of laser. This will likely get better once all the filler is gone. I would wait at least one year after initial appearance of the problem for further improvement.

Raffy Karamanoukian, MD, FACS · Answer

Fractional laser is an amazing and highly effective treatment in our office. We use the laser treatment to help with acne scars, large pores, fine wrinkles, tissue collagen loss, scars, sebaceous hyperplasia, active acne, and for brightening dark pigmentation. Although there are very strong fractional lasers such as CO2 laser, we use lighter treatments for corrective skincare and maintenance of results. Our Thulium fractional laser, clear and brilliant laser, and Ultra Thulium laser are excellent options in our clinic. We also perform CO2 fractional and erbium depending on skin tone and tolerance for downtime. Patients do have to use a Melarase cream before and after treatment to help further reduce pigmentation after laser. Dark spots can improve with these treatments. I recommend fractional laser for incisional scars as well, especially after plastic surgery.

Best,
