I got under eye filler for dark circles (hollow), but there's still darkness left caused by pigmentation. Is it safe to get laser while having a under eye filler?

Laser After Filler Under Eyes

  Hi and thank you for your question! You didn't specify the type of laser you plan to get, but I am assuming it will be something like Erbium or other lasers used for pigmentation. In that case, it should be fine doing them after filler injection since the laser works on the superficial layers of the skin and is not expected to affect the underlying filler. Please make sure to discuss this with your laser provider as well to make sure there won't be any contraindications or precautions. I hope it helps and good luck!
