What non-invasive procedures can help camouflage herniated fat pads that are slightly bulging? Will Fraxel Dual help? (photos)

Question

The fat pads underneath my eyes are starting to bulge, the right one being more prominent. The bulge is much more noticeable when I smile. I am aware of certain non-invasive treatments like fillers and Fraxel, but am unsure which treatment will be the most effective. Which non-invasive procedures would you recommend to treat this area? Appreciate any help in advance. Thanks!

fillers, lasers, and peels can be used to give improvement when its very significant lower eyelid surgery or blepharoplasty is best.

at home peels like cosmelan, enlighten and aerify along with dermarolling (MTS roller with anteage MD ampules) should be started now.

There are many things you can do to treat under eye hollows and dark circles. A surgical option to remove skin and/or fat will such as lower eyelid blepharoplasty with or without fat pad repositioning will be the best long term.  There are many things you can do to treat under eye hollows and dark circles without surgery.  Non invasive less downtime options such as fillers, lasers, microneedling/PRP, cosmelan peels, and microneedling RF like Fractora or morpheus can all help give some improvement. Accutite can often be used or stronger lasers like erbium or co2 spot treatment can tighten the skin and give very quick improvement in wrinkles and texture.  I suggest you get a formal consultation to see what is best for you and your goals.  Best, Dr. Emer.
