Baby Collagen (Under Eyes)

Treatment details: Baby Collagen (Under Eyes)

Two weeks is when the under eye tells the truth. Injection swelling has gone, bruising has cleared, and the collagen has begun to integrate, so this photograph shows what the patient actually keeps rather than a temporary appearance just after treatment. Volume was kept small and layered close to the bone through a cannula. Overcorrection here is more conspicuous than the original hollow, and it is easier to add at a review visit than to wait out an excess. Texture and light reflection continue to improve past this point as the collagen response develops, which is why we assess again before deciding on a second session.

Two weeks after treatment most of the early swelling and bruising has gone, though faint discoloration under the eye can linger a little longer in some people. Tiny raised points at the injection sites flatten during the first week. If material sits too high in this thin skin it can create a pale or bluish Tyndall type line. Collagen cannot be dissolved with hyaluronidase, so timing and depth matter. The effect wears off over three to six months and is repeated as needed.
