Eye bags appear after ThermiSmooth: Is this inflammation or water retention? (Photo)

Question

I had thermi smooth yesterday, and I saw redness and swelling under my eyes. I was told that is normal and will be gone in several hours. I found it gets worse in the evening and today there are two big eye bags appear under my eyes. I was told it is safe and no downtime. Is this inflammation or water retention caused by RF? Any way to get rid of the eye bags? My low eyelids are very tight and almost no eye bags before the treatment.

This is normal inflammation from the radiofrequency device. Use cool compresses and it should resolve relatively quickly. Sometime this happens with sensitive skin. See your provider for a better evaluation. Hope this is helpful to you. JB

Swelling can be typical and will gradually resolve over the next several days.I recommend following up with your Doctor for after care recommendations. PDT therapy can calm inflammation. I recommend a combination of lasers, microneedling/prp and skin care. See an expert. Best, Dr. Emer
