Lifestyle and Skincare
There are several strategies to help reduce the appearance of under-eye bags.

Surgical Treatment
In severe cases, surgery is recommended. Surgical options for treating under-eye bags include procedures like blepharoplasty, which involves removing excess fat, skin, and muscle from the lower and/or upper eyelids. These procedures are typically performed by a surgeon. It’s crucial to discuss the potential risks, benefits, and recovery process with a qualified specialist before considering any surgical intervention.
Non-Surgical Treatment
In some cases, cosmetic procedures such as RF micro-insulated needling, or dermal fillers might be suggested.
RF micro-insulated needling
is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure that combines radio-frequency (RF) energy with micro-needling, used to target under-eye bags and puffiness. The treatment is designed to tighten the skin and reduce fat, ultimately helping to improve the appearance of the under-eye area
