There are many options for aesthetic treatments to treat eye bags. Some of these include Botox injections, Dermal fillers, Lower eyelid lift, and dermal resurfacing lasers. Here we will discuss some of the more common types of treatments and how they may be performed in your clinic. The best aesthetic treatment for eye bags may be the most suitable for you, depending on your personal circumstances. Be sure to investigate all options before you begin looking for treatment for eyebags.
Botox
There are many options for injectable fillers that can be used to treat your eye bags. Botox is a popular product. Botox temporarily paralyzes wrinkle-causing muscles. Restylane is a non-animal product made from hyaluronic acid. It is injected through needles and can produce lasting results. There is some risk associated with Botox as an aesthetic treatment for eye bags, but it's far less than the risks of surgery.
Botox relaxes muscles around the eyes. Botox tightens the skin and reduces the appearance of wrinkles. It can also lift the brows. Botox can also be used to help open your eyes. The result is tighter skin, and more brows. Ultimately, Botox can make you look younger and more rejuvenated.
Dermal fillers
Dermal fillers are a safe and effective way to reduce the appearance of eye bags and hollows. The procedure is usually quick and painless, with most patients only needing one in-office treatment. After treatment, patients can resume work or other normal activities. Minor side effects, such as discoloration or bruising at the injection site may occur in some patients. However, these are rare and usually go away on their own.
Patients choose dermal fillers to treat eyebags. They can conceal moderate under-eye puffiness or correct severe cases. If the bags are caused by dynamic wrinkles or facial muscle movements, botox may not be the best choice. This procedure can be used to relax facial muscles, and reduce the appearance of eyebags. It is possible to smoothen the upper face with dermal fillers.
Lower eyelid lift
The procedure may involve the use of local or general anesthesia. 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. Local anesthesia allows the surgeon the opportunity to check the eye muscles prior to the procedure. This helps avoid any discomfort.
A skilled surgeon can perform a lower-eyelid lift to reduce the appearance of undereye bags. In this procedure, an incision is made under the lash line to access underlying tissues and manipulate fat. To create a more youthful appearance, excess skin can be tightened and reshaped. 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. In just one procedure, the treated area can start to recover and reduce wrinkles. The procedure can take as little as one week to recover. This procedure is more suitable for patients who have dark pigmented skin. While not for everyone, lasers for the treatment of eye bags can be beneficial for those with darker skin tones.
Before the procedure, a topical anesthetic is applied to the area to be treated. After the 30 minute period, the treated area is gently scrubbed with wet gauze. This is to remove any impurities or other obstructions. Gauze is also used to protect the lower lid from any damage during the procedure. Laser treatments may cause temporary white bumps around the treated area.
