Would this type of laser help tighten the bags under the eye or are these lasers only used to eliminate wrinkles? My bags are not really big but I do have shadows which I want to eliminate.

Answer: Probably not Skin tightening and eyelid bag reduction is a difficult thing to achieve non surgically. Non-ablative lasers tend not to yield any skin tightening and really don't work that great on wrinkle reduction either. The position of the eyelid in proximity to important muscle and the eyeball itself, really limits the treatments that can be performed safely. Ablative fractional erbium and C02 lasers can yield improvement in the eyelid skin, however if the treatment is performed just around the eyelids it can cause racoon eye like demarcation of pigmentation. These days my favorite treatment for non-surgical eyelid rejuvanation involves a combination of prp, fillers and Venus Viva (a fractional radiofrequency device, that doesn't cause issues with loss of pigmentation or hyperpigmentation). However, true eyelid fat herniation and bags can only be addressed with surgery.

Answer: Eye Bags and Nonablative fractional erbium laser Skin peels and lasers are used to treat skin creepiness and wrinkles. Lower eyelid bags/bulges are generally caused by herniation of the lower eyelid fat pads. Depending on the severity of the herniation, dermal fillers may be used to temporarily camouflage them. Definitive treatment of lower eyelid bulges or shadows as a result of bulges include blepharoplasty, which is the surgical removal and/or repositioning of the fat. See a specialist for a face to face consultation to determine the indicated procedure(s) in your case.
