Non-surgical Treatment for Undereye Bags?

The safest non-surgical treatment of under eye bags, dark circles and hollows are Hyaluronic Acid Gel fillers. This class of fillers includes Restylane, Belotero, Juvederm, Perlane, Voluma and others. They are all the same product, just made up of different consistencies (ie. density, thickness, flow, etc). Injecting these fillers should not be done indiscriminately without a true understanding of how they work or the differences in their biochemical makeup. It is this knowledge of the filler products that makes all the difference in outcome. Upon examination, I take a customized approach when treating patients, determining the best filler treatment plan based on their anatomical needs and personal aesthetic goals. Please make sure you find a board certified injector, as this is a very delicate area and needs to be treated by someone with a lot of expertise to give you safe and effective results.

There are non-surgical treatments to help improve the lower eyelids if the bags are slight. If the bags are more pronounced, however, none of these non-surgical treatments address the cause and permanently resolve the issue the way that blepharoplasty surgery does. Undereye bags most commonly are caused by herniation of the lower-eyelid fat pads which protrude through the muscles under the eyes. The nonsurgical options are not as effective or long lasting, but can help in cases that are not too severe. Someone with mild undereye bags might benefit from having filler injected below the bag to fill in the step-off created by the herniated fat. Another option is to tighten the loose skin with treatments that stimulate collagen formation, such as microneedling with RF (radiofrequency). These procedures are performed in a treatment room and require only minimal downtime. In some cases, the “bags” are actually darker skin caused by pigmentation, in which case, peels or lasers could help to diminish the pigmentation. I recommend consulting in person with a board-certified plastic surgeon to discuss your concerns and goals and see which treatment or combination of treatments would be right for you.

Hello. Thanks for you question and photos. As you know, noting can replace an in-person exam and you should consult a certified and experienced doctor. You can get rid of undereyes bags using fillers to get volume. Also, you can get amazing results inyecting fillers in your cheek, to pull up the skin in the area and other treatment as Hollywood Peel, laser or microneedling. Good luck!
