Eye bags are never a pretty sight. You can have great skin and good features, but if you also have eye bags, they will stand out like a sore spot on your face. They can make you look tired and weary, and even aged. And you can definitely do without them! Thankfully, you don’t have to live with eye bags all your life as there are many ways to treat them.
What are eye bags?
Before we discuss how to treat eye bags, let’s first define them. Under-eye bags are caused by the protruding fat that usually sits behind the eye.
There could be many possible reasons for this, from genetic to ageing to lifestyle habits like inadequate sleeping. They can also appear when we are tired and unwell. In some cases, they could be the result of certain allergies or dermatitis, too, and these are usually accompanied by redness and itching.
Eye bags could also be caused by tear troughs under the eye. A tear trough is a slight depression along the path that a tear runs down your face from the eye to the cheek.
which are ligaments that pull down the skin beneath the eye, causing the fat pad below the lower eyelid to bulge out and creating a puffy, under-eye bag.
How can we treat them?
There are both surgical and non-surgical options available for this treatment. Most people achieve good results without surgery, and don’t need to go in for surgery. Under eye bags can often be completely managed non-surgically, with dermal treatments in the tear trough area. An initial consultation will help to determine if you need to go down the surgical route or not.
Dermal treatment of eye bags
Dermal enhancements are applied to the skin at strategic points on the face. These ingredients are very effective in filling up sunken areas beneath the lower eyelids or even the trough area so that the skin between the lower eyelid and the cheek evens out, giving an instant youthful appearance. They are also quick and usually take 30 minutes or less.
If you need to get your tear troughs filled, you need to ensure that you are in expert hands. Multiple treatment modalities could be involved for dark circles, eye bags, and hollowness under the eyes. Your face will instantly look different when the hollow area is filled with the right product. However, this may not improve skin texture or under-eye wrinkles. In cases like these, PRP can be effective in stimulating and regenerating periocular skin.
Sometimes, “underfilling” is better than “overfilling,” as the latter can result in a tired-looking appearance that is totally avoidable. But you need an experienced cosmetic doctor to discern the right amount of enhancements, and you can always count on our team at Nitai for trained and proficient treatment.
What are the risks?
Dermal enhancements are considered quite safe (with a well-understood risk profile). At most, there could be very slight bruising/swelling at the spot, and these are quick to heal.
How long do the results last?
The best part of using dermal enhancements for tear troughs is that it is a super quick procedure that requires no downtime, and the results last for as long as 12 months.
How do I sustain the treatment results?
No matter what treatment you choose, it is important to keep the delicate skin around the eyes well-nourished and moisturized. We recommend using Aspect Dr Eyelift before and after the treatment to keep the skin nourished. We also recommend Eye Doctor eye cream to help improve skin texture and colour.
Revlight laser helps break up pigmentation in the under-eye area. Sunscreen and sunglasses are also important to prevent dark circles. These are not only to optimize but also to sustain results.
