Dissolving redensity 2 tear trough - what should my next steps be to fix purple under eyes? (Photo)

Thank you for sharing such a detailed description—tear trough concerns are very common, and it’s understandable to feel anxious when results don’t turn out as expected. Let’s go through your questions carefully.

Why the purple discoloration may be happening:

Even with Redensity 2, which is a very fine HA designed for delicate under-eye skin, the thin skin in this area can make veins more visible.

This often appears as a purple or reddish hue, especially if the filler slightly compresses or shifts tissue around underlying vessels.

Since you don’t describe blue/grey color or lumps, this is likely vascular visibility rather than Tyndall effect or improper filler placement.

Will it improve on its own?

Sometimes mild discoloration fades over months as swelling resolves and tissues settle.

However, if the veins are prominent or the skin is very thin, the purple hue can persist without intervention.

Dissolving the filler:

Dissolving can help if the filler is contributing to vascular visibility or pressure on the skin.

The risk is that removing filler may reveal more hollowing if your natural tear trough volume was low, which could make shadows more noticeable.

Skin laxity typically doesn’t worsen immediately after dissolving, but the area may look more hollow until natural tissue or volume is restored.

Other options besides dissolving:

Targeted skin treatments like laser, microneedling with PRP, or pigment-correcting topical products can improve color over time.

Conservative filler adjustment: sometimes a very small amount in the correct plane or on the opposite side of the vessel can mask discoloration without overfilling.

Vascular-focused techniques: some practitioners use cannula techniques to minimize compression and redistribute filler subtly.

Summary:
Purple discoloration under eyes after Redensity 2 is often related to thin skin and visible veins. Dissolving can help if the filler is contributing, but may temporarily increase hollowing. Some improvement may happen naturally over months, but persistent discoloration often requires careful treatment—either targeted dissolving, skin-focused therapies, or minor filler adjustments. A skilled injector can tailor the approach to balance your concerns about color, volume, and natural appearance.
