About this treatment
What it does
Treatment for the under-eye — shadowing, hollowing, crepey skin and puffiness. Which one you have decides the treatment entirely, and they look alike in a mirror.
How it works
Pigment is treated topically and with gentle laser; hollowing is filled at a deep, conservative level; crepey skin is thickened with boosters or energy; true fat herniation is surgical and is referred, not treated.
What to expect
Immediate for volume, settling at 2–4 weeks. Pigment work takes months.. Downtime: swelling and bruising for 3–7 days after injectables. Typically one for volume, with review; 3–4 for skin quality.
Looking after it
Sleep propped up for two nights. Cold compresses on the first day, gently. No rubbing the area for a week.

Safety & aftercare
Precautions
- Tell the doctor about every medicine and supplement you take, including blood thinners and isotretinoin.
- Avoid alcohol and blood-thinning painkillers for 24 hours before and after, unless prescribed.
- Sun exposure before or after the treatment increases the risk of pigmentation — use SPF 50 daily.
- Reschedule if the treatment area has an active infection, cold sore or open wound.
Possible side effects
- Bruising — the under-eye bruises more readily than anywhere else
- Swelling, sometimes lasting a week
- Lumps or a bluish tinge if placed too superficially
Not suitable if
- Significant fat herniation, which needs surgery
- Fluid retention or thyroid eye disease, until managed
- Pregnancy and breastfeeding
Aftercare
- Sleep propped up for two nights
- Cold compresses on the first day, gently
- No rubbing the area for a week
