Non-surgical Treatment for Undereye Bags?

There are several treatments to improve the appearance of under eye bags.  The most common is fillers which use volume to disguise contour irregularities.  The treatment is done in the office and the results last up to one year.  Fillers work well when combined with other treatments such as lasers, microneedling and chemical peels for a more complete result.

A combination approach will give the most improvement with undereye bags. For my patients who wish to avoid surgery, we use fillers, lasers, microneedling/PRP and stem cells to improve under the eyes. I suggest consulting with an expert to develop a treatment plan best suited for your short and long term goals. Best, Dr. Emer

This is a good question! There are several options but the one our office likes to utilize is ablative fracitonal CO2 resurfacing to tighten the collagen (and skin).  This is a good option with little downtime (3-5 days).  However, it is hard to say what is exactly needed without a consultation with a board certified dermatologist who has cosmetic training.  The gold standard for under eye bags is an under eye blepharoplasty but as other posters have mentioned under eye bags can be minimized with fillers in the tear trough decreasing that demarcation from eye to cheek.  I wish you all the best!
