Baby Collagen (Under Eyes)

Treatment details: Baby Collagen (Under Eyes)

What patients notice after this treatment is often practical rather than cosmetic. Concealer stops collecting in the groove and the area no longer looks worse by the end of the day. That happens because the depression has been supported, not because pigment has changed. Placement was deep, against the bone through a blunt cannula, since anything left near the surface of this very thin skin will be seen through it. Two weeks is the earliest honest assessment point. By then the puffiness has cleared, while the new collagen the material stimulates has barely started to form, so the area continues to firm for another two to three months without further treatment.

The skin of the lower lid is thin and sits over fine vessels, so bruising is common and can take a week to fade even when a cannula is used. Puffiness in the first days may make the area look fuller than the final result. Material placed too close to the surface can be seen as a pale ridge or a bluish tone, and unlike hyaluronic acid this preparation cannot be dissolved, so correction relies on time. Small firm points may be felt for a few weeks. Allergic reaction to a collagen preparation is uncommon but possible, and infection at the entry point is rare. Effect duration varies between patients and repeat treatment is usual.
