There are various types of aesthetic treatments for eye bags. Botox injections and dermal fillers are some of the options. Below are some examples of common treatments that may be offered in your clinic. The best aesthetic treatment for eye bags may be the most suitable for you, depending on your personal circumstances. Make sure you research all the available treatments before you seek treatment for eye bag problems.
Botox
You can use many types of injectable fillers to treat eye bags. Botox is one example of such a product. It temporarily paralyzes wrinkle causing muscles. Restylane can be used to treat wrinkles. It can be injected using needles, and can have lasting effects. Botox may be used as an aesthetic treatment to remove eye bags. However it is far safer than surgery.
Botox works by relaxing the muscles around the eye area. It can also tighten sagging skin. It can also lift the brows. Botox can also open your eyes by being injected in strategic locations. As a result, you'll have tighter skin and elevated 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 other activities as soon as they are done with the treatment. Patients may experience some bruising or discoloration around the injection site. However, these side effects are often minor and resolve quickly.
Many patients opt for dermal fillers for treatment of their eyebags. They conceal under-eye puffiness and can also correct severe cases. Botox is not recommended for bags that are the result of dynamic wrinkles, facial muscle movements, or dynamic wrinkles. Botox can relax facial muscles and improve the appearance of eyes bags. Dermal fillers may be used to smooth out the upper face without surgery or downtime.
Lower eyelid lift
It may be necessary to administer general or local pain medication. 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. General anesthesia can sometimes be necessary depending on the complexity and number of surgeries being performed simultaneously. For a lower eyelid lift, local anesthesia may also be an option. 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. 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. 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. In just one procedure, the treated area can start to recover and reduce wrinkles. The recovery time from the procedure may be as short as a week. This procedure is more suitable for patients who have dark pigmented skin. Dermal resurfacing lasers for eye bags are not suitable for everyone, but can be effective for those with dark-skinned skin.
A topical anesthetic is used to prepare the area for 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 used to protect the lower eyelids from injury during treatment. There may be temporary white bumps after laser treatments.
