What can I do about Malar festoons in early twenties? (Photo)

Question

Hi, I am a female (22). What should I do about my malar festoons? They seem to be getting worse and it's weird because I don't have any prominent eye bags.. I recently got cheek filler but I'm worried it made it worse. What can I do? Is it just there forever???

Camille Cash, MD · Answer

Festoons are difficult to treat.  Good options for improvement are lasers, microneedling, and Morpheus8 treatments to address skin tone and texture.  We also recommend using medical grade skin care products and wearing sunscreen every day.

lasers, peels at home like emeragecosmetics cosmelan/enlighten or emerageskin aerify, and fillers help. avoid botox in this area. see an expert. my younger clients do clear and brilliant, morpheus, PRP and erbium lasers to help this over time.  RF facials monthly. Best, Dr. Emer.

Benjamin Barankin, MD, FRCPC · Answer

Difficult area to treat and fully correct. I've had decent results with using fillers. I think microneedling with PRP can be considered as well. No benefit from peels/microdermabrasion.
