I had Juvederm placed in my tear trough, I came out with highly bruised and swelling in both eyes. I gave it a month before I went back to the same injecting doctor as the swelling and dark blue has not gone down. He injected Hyaluronidase 3 x in the course of 2 months. The swelling has gone down, but I still have the bluish tint. So the doctor mentioned, laser should help minimize the blue tint. I am fair skinned and scared I may get hyperpigmentation after the laser. What should I do?
Answer: Bluish Tint after Juvederm Hi YY. If the color below the eyes is truly blue, then you will probably need Hyaluronidase (Vitrase) injections to complete your project. If there is still more superficial product this could be creating the Tyndall effect and the way to remedy it would be with this injected enzyme.There is one other possibility. I know you said you were light skinned, but If you are a light skinned medium skin type (Light Asian or Hispanic), then it's also possible you have Hemosiderin staining. This effect occurs when you have profound bruising and can look like a brown hazy discolored area that results from the healing process after the bruise. It's a form of PIH, Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation and we use q-switched lasers to get rid of it. Good luck.

Answer: Can LASER help remove some or all the bluish tint left from Juvederm? If you don't trust the judgement of your injector you should seek a second opinion in person. If the bluish tint is from the product then laser will not help and you would require more hyaluronidase. If the bluish color has resulted from significant bruising and staining of the tissue then laser can help. This really requires an in person evaluation to determine what the underlying issue has resulted from. I hope this information is helpful for you.Stephen Weber MD, FACSDenver Facial Plastic Surgeon

Answer: Blue discoloration to the skin after injection of Juvéderm This is a relatively uncommon complication of Juvéderm injections. The blue discoloration is a phenomenon called the Tyndall effect. This sometimes occurs when the hyaluronic acid filler is injected either too superficially or in an area where the skin is thin. In many cases, hyaluronidase will resolve the issue. But, in rare cases this does not work. I do not believe a laser would resolve this issue. Rest assured that this should resolve with time.

Answer: Can Laser help remove the tyndall effect from Juvederm? Without seeing photos or you in person, it sounds as though you are describing the Tyndall Effect. The Tyndall effect occurs when light strikes filler that is too
