Is dark circle removal surgery harmful?

Dark circles usually only appear when you don’t get enough sleep, but some people have more severe symptoms. No matter how much sleep they get, they can’t lighten or eliminate the dark circles. At this time, people often choose to undergo laser removal surgery to help remove dark circles. The effect is of course very obvious and fast, but some unexpected situations may occur. So what specific side effects will it produce?

Laser removal surgery is a non-ablative method for treating dark circles. The specific wavelength of light selected can coagulate hemoglobin and close capillaries, thereby improving the color of the skin around the eyes and achieving the purpose of removing dark circles. This surgery can significantly remove fine facial wrinkles, pigmentation, capillary dilation and other photoaging phenomena, but the main side effect is that the surrounding skin will become more fragile, so you must be careful not to wear makeup, rest for a while, and don't stay up late. If the corresponding care is not done well, the side effects of dark circle removal surgery are more serious, and the patient may have the following adverse reactions:

1. Local swelling: Local swelling at the treated site after surgery, which is more severe and painful 2-3 days after surgery. It will gradually subside in 5-7 days. It is recommended to use cold compress to relieve pain.

2. Erythema: It is a normal phenomenon after surgery and will subside within a few days. Be careful not to get it wet or scratched to avoid infection.

3. Pigmentation: Pay attention to sun protection after the operation, otherwise pigmentation is easy to occur.

4. Itching: Do not scratch to prevent infection.

5. Infection: Pay attention to prevention and go to the hospital for examination immediately after infection.

6. Scar formation: Ablative laser treatment may form scars, which should be treated as hypertrophic scars once formed.

In general, laser surgery to remove dark circles will have adverse effects, but they can be completely avoided. Not everyone will suffer such harm, so women can still rest assured to undergo the surgery. After the surgery, they must take good care of their skin according to the doctor's advice and go for regular check-ups.
