Baby Collagen (Under Eyes)

Treatment details: Baby Collagen (Under Eyes)

The photograph here is two weeks after treatment, which is the point we ask patients to return for assessment. By then the injection swelling has gone and what remains is the material itself. One millilitre of Baby Collagen was placed along the depression through a single cannula entry at the outer corner. Collagen suits this region because it is soft and holds less water than hyaluronic acid, so it does not create the bluish cast that thicker products can show through thin lower eyelid skin. The hollow is filled and the lid to cheek transition now reads as one continuous surface.

Thin lower eyelid skin makes this area prone to visible bruising, which can take ten days or more to clear, and to swelling that outlasts other parts of the face. Palpable lumps or surface irregularity may be noticed while the material integrates, and superficial placement can read as a bluish Tyndall discoloration. Asymmetry sometimes calls for a follow up visit. Vascular injury around the eye is exceptionally rare but treated as an emergency. Absorption occurs over several months.
