Thermage for bags under the eyes

Unfortunately, it's nearly impossible to give you the best answer without seeing you in person or having some great photos to work from.

Thermage is designed to tighten skin, but loose skin is probably not your problem, which is also why a blepharoplasty is not often needed. Injectable fillers may work very well however. These would include Juvederm and Restylane, and for a longer lasting... more
