How much down time should I expect with my under eye Restylane® treatment?
If you don’t bruise, there is about 30-40 hours of mild swelling following the treatment. Women and men who use camouflage makeup can usually hide this swelling within hours of treatment. Now let’s talk about bruising. The incidence of bruising is about 20%. The nature of the bruise varies from a little micro-bruise that will disappear in about 2-3 days to a major shiner. The incidence of a black eye is about 2%-a small incidence unless you are the one who gets the black eye. Black eyes can take 2-3 weeks to fully resolve. Think of the procedure as surgery in a syringe.
