Before you decide to seek treatment for your eye bags, be sure to do some research on the options.
Botox
There are many injectable fillers you can choose from to help with eye bags. Botox is one example of such a product. Botox temporarily paralyzes wrinkle-causing muscles. Restylane, a non-animal product, is made from hyaluronic acids. It can be injected with needles and may produce long-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 works by relaxing the muscles around the eye area. It also tightens sagging skin. It can be used to lift the eyebrows. Botox injections in strategically placed areas can help to open your eyes. The result is tighter skin, and more brows. Botox can result in a more youthful appearance.
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. A majority of patients only require one injection in the office, and the procedure takes typically less than an half hour. Patients can return to work and normal activities immediately after treatment. Although some patients may experience bruising or discoloration at the injection site, these minor side effects usually resolve on their own.
Many patients opt for dermal fillers for treatment of their eyebags. They conceal under-eye puffiness and can also correct severe cases. Botox might not be the best option if the bags are due to dynamic wrinkles and facial muscle movements. Botox can relax facial muscles and improve the appearance of eyes bags. To smoothen out the upper part of the face, dermal fillers can be used without requiring surgery.
Lower eyelid lift
The procedure may involve the use of local or general anesthesia. The latter makes the patient completely unconscious. However, local anesthesia numbs and reduces pain. It may be necessary to general anesthesia multiple procedures at once depending on how complex the procedure is. An alternative to general anesthesia for lower eyelid surgery is local anesthesia. Using a local anesthetic allows the surgeon to test eye muscles before the procedure, avoiding any discomfort.
To reduce the appearance undereye bags, an experienced surgeon can perform a lower lid lift. In this procedure, an incision is made under the lash line to access underlying tissues and manipulate fat. To give you a younger appearance, excess skin is reshaped and tightened. This minimizes 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 recovery time from the procedure may be as short as a week. Patients who are darkly pigmented may benefit more from this procedure. Lasers used for treating eye bags may not be suitable for all patients, but they can be very effective for people with dark skin.
A topical anesthetic will be applied to the treated area prior to the procedure. After 30 minutes, the area is gently wiped with wet gauze to ensure that the treatment area is clean and free of any impurities that could interfere with the procedure. Gauze is also applied to the lower eyelid to protect it during the procedure. Laser treatments can result in temporary white bumps on the treated area.
