What Causes Under-Eye Bags?

Under-eye bags form due to a combination of factors, including:

Aging, which leads to weakened skin and fat redistribution

Fluid retention from lifestyle choices like poor sleep or high salt intake

Genetics, which can make some individuals more prone to puffiness

Allergies or sinus issues causing swelling

While eye creams and lifestyle adjustments can help, they don’t provide permanent results. This is where laser surgery steps in.

How Laser Surgery Works

Laser resurfacing is a non-invasive or minimally invasive procedure that tightens and rejuvenates the skin under the eyes. It works by:

Stimulating Collagen Production – The laser triggers collagen regeneration, firming up the skin.

Reducing Excess Fat Deposits – Some laser techniques break down fat accumulation, reducing puffiness.

Smoothing Wrinkles and Fine Lines – The treatment also improves skin texture, making it look younger and more refreshed.

Types of Laser Procedures for Under-Eye Bags

Fractional CO2 Laser – A powerful laser treatment that tightens skin and stimulates deep collagen production.

Erbium Laser Resurfacing – A gentler approach that improves skin texture with less downtime.

RF Microneedling with Laser – Combines radiofrequency and laser technology for enhanced tightening.

Benefits of Laser Surgery for Under-Eye Bags

Non-Surgical – No incisions, no stitches, and minimal recovery time.

Long-Lasting Results – Unlike creams, the effects can last for years.

Quick Procedure – Most sessions take under an hour.

Minimal Downtime – Redness and swelling subside in a few days, unlike invasive surgery.

Recovery & Aftercare

After laser treatment, you might experience mild redness or swelling, but these effects fade quickly. Applying sunscreen and avoiding excessive sun exposure is crucial to protect the healing skin. Most patients see full results in a few weeks, with continued collagen production improving the skin over time.
