How To Get Rid of Under Eye Bags

Posted on [post_date] [post_comments] [post_edit]

Under-eye bags or bags under the eyes are one of the most common facial ageing concerns reported by patients. Although people may feel tired occasionally, what often troubles patients is when they get told they look tired, even though they feel great and full of energy. This can be a significant source of frustration for many patients, leading to a loss of self-confidence.

The natural ageing process is not always the underlying cause of under-eye bags. Bags under the eyes can develop in people as young as their early 20s and those in their 50s and beyond. For younger patients, genetic factors play a role in their development, while the natural ageing process is a common cause of eye bags in those in their 40s and beyond.

The optimal approach to effectively treating under-eye bags is to try to elucidate what patients mean when they say they look tired. For some, it may be the presence of sunken eyes or bulging fat, resulting in puffy eyes. Some people may complain of dark circles beneath the eyes, while those in their 50s and above may be concerned about forming festoons or malar bags under the eyes. Whatever the concern, it is essential for the surgeon to accurately understand a patient’s concerns to select the most suitable cosmetic treatment.

Under Eye Filler

Under-eye filler, also known as tear trough filler, is an excellent non-invasive treatment for addressing dark circles under the eyes. The key to successful treatment is to choose appropriate patients, as they are most effective for treating certain types of dark eye circles commonly found in younger people. Some people may have a hollowed-out appearance in the tear trough area, which can appear sunken or depressed. This is most widely described as dark circles rather than eye bags and is related to a deficiency of soft tissue volume in the area beneath the eyes. Tear trough filler is ideal for this type of aesthetic concern.

Many people have a natural depression in the under-eye area, which can accentuate the appearance of skin located higher up, resulting in the formation of dark shadows in the tear trough. The injection of dermal filler in this hollowed-out area restores soft tissue volume, which evens out the appearance of this area, helping to reduce dark circles.

The most common types of tear trough filler contain hyaluronic acid, including Redensity 2, Restylane and Juvederm. These are premium dermal fillers specifically designed for use in the delicate area beneath the eye. Fillers come in different levels of consistency, and the ideal type of filler for the Tear Trough Fillers trough has a soft feel, which can be more precisely shaped once injected into the tear trough area.

Under-eye filler is not suitable for every patient. Patients who have actual bags under the eyes as part of the natural ageing process will have a combination of loose skin with herniated pockets of excess fat.
