There are many types of treatments available for eye bags. Botox injections and dermal fillers are some of the options. Here we will discuss some of the more common types of treatments and how they may be performed in your clinic. Your personal situation may dictate which treatment is best for you. 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. It temporarily paralyzes wrinkle-producing muscles. Restylane is an injectable product that's not animal-friendly and made of hyaluronic. It is injected through needles and can produce lasting results. Botox for the treatment of eye bags is not without risk. But it is much less dangerous than surgery.
Botox relaxes the muscles around your eyes. It tightens sagging skin. It can also lift the brows. Injecting Botox in strategic places can also help open your eyes. As a result, you'll have tighter skin and elevated brows. Ultimately, Botox can make you look younger and more rejuvenated.
Dermal fillers
Dermal fillers offer a non-invasive, effective treatment for hollows and eye bags that requires no downtime. The majority of patients only need a single in-office injection, and the procedure typically lasts less than an hour. After treatment, patients can resume work or other normal activities. While some patients may experience some minor side effects like bruising and discoloration near the injection site, they usually heal 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 may not work well if the bags are caused dynamic wrinkles or facial muscles movements. Botox can relax the facial muscles and improve the appearances of eye bags. The upper face can be smoothened using dermal fillers without the need for surgery.
Lift the lower eyelids
Local or general anesthesia can be used for the procedure. The first makes the patient totally unconscious. While local anesthesia causes the patient to feel numb around the eyes and decreases the pain, the latter can make the patient completely conscious. A variety of complex procedures may require general anesthesia. A lower eyelid lift can also be done with local anesthesia. The surgeon may use local anesthesia to prevent discomfort and allow him to examine the eye muscles.
To help reduce the appearance and size of undereye bags, a skilled surgeon can perform an eyelid lift. A small incision is made beneath the lashline to reach the underlying tissues. This allows fat to be removed. Excess skin is then tightened and reshaped to create a more youthful appearance. The incision line is usually hidden within the crease of the lower eyelid, resulting in minimal scarring.
Dermal resurfacing lasers
Eye bag treatment using dermal resurfacing lasers can be extremely effective at treating the aging and damaged skin. The treated area will begin to heal and can even lose wrinkles in just one procedure. The recovery period for this procedure may only take one week. This procedure may be more beneficial for patients with darker skin tones. Although not recommended for all skin types, dermal resurfacing lasers can be used to remove eye bags.
Apply a topical numbing cream to the area before the procedure. After the 30 minute period, the treated area is gently scrubbed with wet gauze. This is to remove any impurities or other obstructions. The lower eyelid is also covered with gauze to protect it from the procedure. Laser treatments can cause temporary white bumps in the treated area.
