Eye Bag Removal In Singapore

by Andy Cheng Director

Eye bags refer to the puffiness and swelling under the eyes. They are very common and almost no one is exempt from dealing with puffy eyes as we age. While eye bags are generally not a serious medical condition that requires immediate treatment, most people often seek eye bag removal treatment in Singapore because they make us look older and more tired than we really are.

What causes eye bags?

Eyebags are caused by a few pathophysiological processes. As we age, supporting structures around our eyes, consisting of the muscles and ligaments, weaken. As a result, the fat under our eyes, known as the infraorbital fat, starts to protrude outwards and accumulate under the eyes, forming an unsightly bag.

The protrusion of the fatty tissue is exacerbated by the extremely thin layer of the skin under the eyes and the volume loss in the cheek area. It accentuates the hollow between the eyes and the cheek, making the dent look more obvious.

In addition, lifestyle has a direct impact on how well you age as well. If you are constantly stressed with not enough sleep and if you smoke and drink regularly, your skin tend to age faster than normal. Furthermore, you will retain more fluid and your eye bags will look even worse.

What are some in-clinic treatments available to remove eye bags non-surgically?

For starters, invest in a good eye cream that contains collagen-stimulating ingredients to tighten the skin. Ingredients you should look out for are retinols and peptides. Retinols are vitamin A derivatives that have been shown to stimulate collagen production, reducing appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. On the other hand, peptides are also a sought-after moisture-boosting ingredient aimed to revitalize skin and improve elasticity.

At Radium Medical Aesthetics, we treat eye bags according to the cause, after a detailed examination by the doctor.

Skin tightening treatments help to strengthen the skin. The PicoSure Laser has a unique, patented function called the Focus Lens Array. It uses a diffractive lens to rejuvenate the skin with minimal downtime.

Micro focus ultrasound, also known as Ultherapy, reaches deep into the skin to tighten both the muscular layer and the skin layer. This increases the strength of the support structures.

For better, longer lasting results, the doctor may use microneedle radiofrequency for a tightening effect. The best treatment will depend on your skin texture and severity of your eye bags.

Besides the skin, we also need to target the fat. At Radium, Eye Bag Resus is a treatment that uses direct delivery of radio-frequency energy into the bags to melt the fats.

It may sound counterintuitive to add dermal fillers to the undereye when you are trying to get rid of the puffiness. The truth is, certain people may require volume replacement in the tear trough and cheek area to reduce the appearance of eye bags. You will be amazed at what undereye filler in Singapore can do. Sometimes, that’s all you need to improve the appearance of eye bags significantly.

Sometimes, severe cases of eye bags cannot be treated non-invasively. In such cases, the only option is to undergo surgery to remove them.

Speak to an experienced doctor who can diagnose your condition accurately and offer you the best advice and treatment to suit your needs.
