ProYellow laser 577nm to my tear trough: when will effects wear off?

Question

I had a session done on my tear trough to lighten pigmentation. However, it has loosened my eye contour and I look abit different now, causing me severe depression. I have consulted an oculoplastics surgeon who advised me to not do anything(no more lasers, injections or topical of any sorts) and to just leave my eye alone as what it is. My question is, will my lower eye contour go back to where it was b4 I did the Laser on them?

I'm sorry to hear about your experience and the distress it has caused. The ProYellow laser, which operates at a wavelength of 577nm, is often used for treating vascular lesions and pigmentation issues. While it is generally considered safe, individual responses can vary, and some people might experience temporary changes in skin texture or tightness.

In many cases, the effects of laser treatments can gradually diminish over time as the skin heals and regenerates. This process can take several weeks to a few months, depending on various factors such as your skin type, age, and the specifics of the treatment. It's important to follow your oculoplastic surgeon's advice to avoid further interventions, as this will allow your skin the best chance to recover naturally.

If you're experiencing significant concerns, it might be helpful to seek a second opinion from another dermatologist or oculoplastic surgeon who can evaluate your condition in person. Additionally, maintaining a healthy skincare routine and protecting your skin from the sun can support the healing process.

If you continue to feel distressed, consider speaking with a mental health professional who can provide support as you navigate these feelings.
