There are many options for aesthetic treatments to treat eye bags. Botox injections and dermal fillers are some of the options. These are the most commonly used treatments. We'll also discuss how they could be performed in your practice. 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. It temporarily paralyzes the muscles responsible for wrinkle-causing effects. Restylane is an injectable product that's not animal-friendly and made of hyaluronic. It can be injected using needles, and can have lasting effects. Botox for the treatment of eye bags is not without risk. But it is much less dangerous than surgery.
Botox works by relaxing the muscles around the eye area. It also tightens sagging skin. It can also be used in some cases to lift the eyebrows. Botox can be used to open your eyes by injecting it in specific places. You'll notice a tighter skin texture and a lift in your eyebrows. Botox can ultimately make you appear younger and more youthful.
Dermal fillers
Dermal fillers, unlike surgery, are an effective cosmetic treatment for eye bags or hollows. They require minimal downtime and don't require any recovery. 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 immediately following treatment. Although some patients may experience bruising or discoloration at the injection site, these minor side effects usually resolve on their own.
Patients choose dermal fillers to treat eyebags. They can conceal moderate under-eye puffiness or 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. To smoothen out the upper part of the face, dermal fillers can be used without requiring surgery.
Lower eyelid lift
Local or general anesthesia can be used for the procedure. The latter makes the patient completely unconscious. However, local anesthesia numbs and reduces pain. Depending on the complexity of the procedure, general anesthesia is sometimes necessary to complete multiple surgeries at the same time. An alternative to general anesthesia for lower eyelid surgery is local anesthesia. The surgeon can use a local anesthetic to avoid discomfort by testing the eye muscles before performing the procedure.
A lower eyelid lift can be performed by an experienced surgeon to remove undereye bags. An incision is made below the lash line to access the underlying tissues and fat. Excess skin is then tightened and reshaped to create a more youthful appearance. The scarring is minimal as the incision line is hidden under the lower eyelid crease.
Dermal resurfacing lasers
For treating the under-eye wrinkles and other problems, dermal lasers for eye bag treatments are highly effective. In just one procedure, the treated area can start to recover and reduce wrinkles. The recovery period for this procedure may only take one week. Patients who are darkly pigmented may benefit more from this procedure. Although not recommended for all skin types, dermal resurfacing lasers can be used to remove eye bags.
Before the procedure, a topical anesthetic is applied to the area to be treated. 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. The treated area may develop temporary white bumps from laser treatments.
