Dermal fillers
Unlike surgery, dermal fillers are an effective aesthetic treatment for eye bags and hollows that require no downtime and require no recovery time.

The aesthetic treatment of eyebags can be done by patients using dermal fillers. These can either conceal mild under-eye puffiness (or correct more severe cases). If the bags are caused by dynamic wrinkles or facial muscle movements, botox may not be the best choice. Botox relaxes the facial muscles and can improve the appearance eye bags. It is possible to smoothen the upper face with dermal fillers.

General or local anesthesia may be used during the procedure. The former renders the patient unconscious. Local anesthesia reduces pain and numbs the area surrounding the eye. A variety of complex procedures may require general anesthesia. Local anesthesia is also a viable option for a lower eyelid lift. A local anesthetic is used to allow the surgeon to perform a pre-operative examination of the eye muscles. This allows for the surgeon avoid any discomfort.
An experienced surgeon can perform a lower eyelid lift to help alleviate the appearance of undereye bags. A small incision is made beneath the lashline to reach the underlying tissues. This allows fat to be removed. To create a more youthful appearance, excess skin can be tightened and reshaped. This minimizes scarring.
Dermal resurfacing lasers
The eyebag treatment with dermal resurfacing lasers is extremely effective in treating damaged or aging skin. With a single procedure, the treated area can begin to regenerate and lose wrinkles. The recovery process can take only a few days. Patients with dark skin may experience greater benefits from the procedure. The lasers used to treat eye bags by dermal resurfacing are not appropriate for everyone. However, they may be more effective for patients with dark-skinned skin.
Apply a topical numbing cream to the area before the procedure. After 30 minutes, the treatment area can be gently scrubbed with wet gauze. Gauze is also applied to the lower eyelid to protect it during the procedure. The treated area may develop temporary white bumps from laser treatments.
