Undereye Rejuvenation

After an undereye treatment, whether it's dermal fillers, PRF (platelet-rich fibrin), microneedling, or laser therapy, patients can expect the following:

Immediately After Treatment:

• Mild swelling and redness around the treated area.

• Possible bruising, especially with filler or microneedling.

• A slight feeling of tightness or tenderness.

• If filler was used, the area may appear puffy or uneven at first.

First 24-48 Hours:

• Swelling typically peaks within the first 24 hours and then starts to subside.

• Cold compresses can help reduce swelling and discomfort.

• Avoid rubbing, massaging, or applying pressure to the area.

• Sleep with your head elevated to help reduce swelling.

First Week:

• Bruising may persist for a few days but can be covered with makeup after 24 hours.

• The filler will settle into place and any initial asymmetry should even out.

• Avoid strenuous exercise, alcohol, and salty foods, as they can increase swelling.

• If PRF or microneedling was performed, mild flaking or dryness may occur as the skin heals.

Two Weeks & Beyond:

• Swelling and bruising should be fully resolved.

• Filler results will be finalized around the two-week mark.

• PRF and microneedling treatments stimulate collagen, so full results develop over several weeks.

• Regular hydration, sunscreen, and gentle skincare will help maintain results.

When to Contact Your Provider:

• If you experience severe pain, excessive swelling, discoloration (bluish or mottled skin), or vision changes, seek immediate medical attention, as these could indicate a rare but serious complication.
