Baby Collagen (Under Eyes)

Treatment details: Baby Collagen (Under Eyes)

This patient wanted the appearance of tired under eyes improved without surgery. Baby Collagen blends smoothly into the delicate tissue below the eye and stimulates natural collagen for lasting firmness. The improvement was visible immediately, and the texture of the thin skin there continues to refine as the collagen response develops. Baby Collagen is a porcine derived atelocollagen, so a skin test forms part of the protocol before the first treatment. It is placed with a cannula against the orbital rim to keep bruising to a minimum, and the effect on skin quality builds over the following weeks rather than appearing at once.

Bruising is the most frequent finding, since fine vessels run just below the surface here, and it usually fades within seven to ten days. Swelling can make the area look overfilled at first and settles across two weeks. Material placed too superficially may be visible as a whitish line or a Tyndall type bluish cast, and small irregularities can be felt. The two eyes may respond differently. The effect fades over months as the material is absorbed.
