Bags under your eyes can make you look old and tired. As you get older, your skin can start to lose its elasticity and the areas under your eyes can fill with fluid or fat. If you have tried home remedies to reduce the puffiness and failed, medical options are available to restore a more youthful appearance. Here are the three most effective nonsurgical plastic surgery options to treat under-eye bags.
Dermal Fillers
Dermal fillers are nonsurgical plastic surgery treatments that inject material into the cheeks and under-eye area to smooth the surface. This procedure may not remove under-eye bags, but it can camouflage them. You can have this procedure for under-eye bags done in a doctor’s office and continue your day. The results can be noticeable immediately and last for about 6-12 months. Repeated treatments, along with a healthy lifestyle, can help you maintain your results.
Chemical Peels
Chemical peels can be a highly effective nonsurgical plastic surgery option to dissolve damaged skin. As the sagging skin from under-eye bags is eliminated, tighter and brighter skin is revealed. This newer skin can be stronger and thicker to prevent under-eye bags from developing in the future. The results from this procedure are noticeable right away and can last for a long time.
Laser Resurfacing
Laser resurfacing works to remove the top layers of under-eye bags and smooth fine lines and wrinkles. This nonsurgical plastic surgery option can help stimulate collagen growth to create firmer skin. Treatment can take anywhere from 30 minutes to two hours to complete. After the procedure, you can resume normal activities immediately. Depending on the amount of skin exposure and your skin type, the results can last for years.
