3 months Post Op ProFractional-Darkness under eyes. (photos)

May 11, 2018
Asked By:amlester22 in New York, NY

I had a ProFractional laser resurfacing treatment 3 months ago. I healed very nicely, but noticed that I have developed a very dark bluish/red appearance under my eyes. I did NOT have this issue before my laser treatment. There is no hollowing or depth under my eyes or in my tear troughs. I would appreciate any insight on what this could be and how I can go about correcting it. Thank you in advance for your help!

Yes, most subside with sunscreen and sun avoidance within 3-6 months. If they are not fading, simple vascular laser by your dermatologist or Plastics who performed the procedure will subside the redness. If you have grids, the use of Fraxel 1927, or Diode driven 1927 Permea with C + B will help....

ProFractional Laser: When will my grid marks go away?
Davin Lim, MBBS, FACD - Account Suspended says:

This is common and your specialist will know how to deal with this. Erbium in fractional mode produces a large beam - this together with controlled thermal damage causes grids. Most grids go by the 6th to 8th month. If they are still present, small beam 1927 Diode or Thulium lasers can help. The...
