Baby Collagen Injection (Under Eyes)

Dark circles here came from a hollow, not from pigment. The depression under the eye cast a shadow, and no amount of concealer covered it because the shadow was structural.

Baby Collagen suits this area. It is softer than hyaluronic acid and holds less water, so it does not swell or take on the bluish cast that thicker filler can produce through thin under-eye skin.

The photo is immediately after treatment. The hollow is already filled and the shadow has lifted. The area looks brighter without any change to the shape of the eye.

Collagen also improves skin quality over the following weeks, so the texture of the thin under-eye skin continues to improve after the volume effect appears.

Mild pain, swelling, redness, or bruising at the injection points settles within a few days to two weeks. The under-eye area bruises easily.

Small lumps or unevenness may be felt while the material settles.

Asymmetry can occur and may need adjustment.

The effect is not permanent. The material is absorbed over time and repeat treatment is needed.

Very rarely, injection into a blood vessel can impair blood flow. Visual disturbance has been reported with injection around the eye, though this is extremely rare.

Infection is uncommon.
