Claim:
A device useful for compression of facial tissues occurring under the eyes of a human, the device comprising: (a) a conformable compression body having a generally elongate shape; said compression body having a central portion for covering tissues under the eyes of a user, and flanking portions flanking the central portion and configured to cover ears of the user; wherein said central portion has an upper edge, a lower edge, and a length sized to span from an outside of one eye of the user, across the nose of the user, and to an outside of another eye of the user, wherein said upper edge and lower edge of said central portion are generally straight all along said length, and further wherein said central portion has a width profile between said upper edge and said lower edge that is sufficiently narrow such that the central portion traverses an eye regions of the user without substantial overlap of overlying brow ridges of the user; said flanking portions each having a point of maximum width greater than a point of maximum width of said central portion, and sufficiently dimensioned to cover the entire ears of the user; said flanking portions each having diverging widths located on either side of said point of maximum width; said flanking portions each having a lower edge that is generally coplanar with the lower edge of said central portion; said compression body including first and second pockets for receiving compression inserts, said first and second pockets each located in a fixed position relative to said central portion, said first and second pockets each located to position a compression insert received therein over a region under an eye of a user without substantial overlap of an overlying brow ridge, and said first and second pockets having respective first and second upper pocket edges, said upper pocket edges being substantially straight and each extending substantially parallel to said upper edge of said central portion; and (b) a strap connected to the compression body, for strapping the compression body around the head of the user.
