I am an African American with very dark circles under my eyes. In addition to the dark circles I also have a scar directly under the dark circle on my right side. I was looking into laser removal with the PicoSure laser, but not sure whats best given my darker complexion and the risk of scarring and additional hyperpigmentation. What would you suggest?
I had Picosure under my eyes for wrinkles- 1,000 pulses and she passed over the area three times. My eye bags are really red and swollen! It looks really bad. Will this go away? It doesn't seem to have eased in the last hour
Ive had 4 picosure focus treatments for melasma around eyes. The melasma has lightened a bit but the area under my eyes (on orbital bone) is much darker now! Ive been trying all the non hydrquinone products w/o results. Ive been on Meladerm now for 2 wks w/o much change. There seems to be many positive reviews and Im wondering if doctors know/recommend this product ever. Does this really work or am I wasting my time? Please help! Im very self conscious about this problem under my eyes! Thank U!
I've had picosure done mainly on my undereyes to treat my dark eye circles. It is day 4 and my skin has been peeling, and there are still itchy bumps on my cheeks. Is the skin supposed to peel to get rid of the 'darkness'? Also, I work under the scorching hot sun a lot. I even had to work the next day after my first session. Is this ok? I'm really worried.
I had PicoSure done underneath my eyes for the treatment of fine lines and crepiness two days ago and now the texture of my skin looks 10x worse! Help! Will it get better? Underneath my eyes did get puffy after treatment and I can tell there is still very minor swelling two days later. Crepiness is most obvious when I squint.
I had PicoSure done on my melasma underneath my eyes and it was awesome. Fast forward a month and a half, I did a second treatment of it. It left my skin darker, redder, and worse. FYI the same person did it both times. I visited another doctor to treat this, and Im about a week into a treatment of hydroquoine 8%. The PIH is still there, just slightly better. - Can any laser help my PIH/melasma now? Will my PIH ever fade? - Would you ask for your money back from the doctor who gave me PIH?
Hi, I got a rhinoplasty procedure about 2 months ago. I had significant bruising. It took longer for my bruising to heal up, but I was left with hemosiderin iron deposits under both my eyes. Before I did not have this pigment underneath my eyes and i saw a dermatologist who said that is what i have. Which laser should I get to remove the pigment, picosure or the Q-Switched 1064-nm Nd: YAG? I attached a picture to show it. It has improved a bit in color since last month.
