Botox

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 majority of patients only need a single in-office injection, and the procedure typically lasts less than an hour. Patients can return to work immediately following treatment. While some patients may experience some minor side effects like bruising and discoloration near the injection site, they usually heal on their own.
Patients choose dermal fillers to treat eyebags. They can conceal moderate under-eye puffiness or correct severe cases. Botox might not be the best option if the bags are due to dynamic wrinkles and facial muscle movements. Botox relaxes the facial muscles and can improve the appearance eye bags. Dermal fillers may be used to smooth out the upper face without surgery or downtime.
Lower eyelid lift
Local or general anesthesia can be used for the procedure. While the former makes the patient completely unconscious, local anesthesia numbs the area around the eye and reduces the level of pain. General anesthesia may be required depending on the complexity of the procedure. Local anesthesia is also a viable option for a lower eyelid lift. The surgeon can use a local anesthetic to avoid discomfort by testing the eye muscles before performing the procedure.
A lower eyelid lift can be performed by an experienced surgeon to remove undereye bags. This procedure involves making an incision under the lashline to access fat and other underlying tissues. Excess skin is then tightened and reshaped to create a more youthful appearance. This results in minimal scarring.
Dermal resurfacing lasers
Lasers used for treatment of the eye bags and the skin underneath are very effective in treating the damaged and aged skin. One procedure can allow the area to begin to heal itself and shed wrinkles. The procedure can take as little as one week to recover. Patients who are darkly pigmented may benefit more from this 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.
Before the procedure, a topical anesthetic is applied to the area to be treated. After 30 minutes, the treatment area can be gently scrubbed with wet gauze. Gauze is also used to protect the lower lid from any damage during the procedure. Laser treatments can cause temporary white bumps in the treated area.
