Bags Under Your Eyes: What to Do About Them.

Whether you woke up with eye circles or they developed over the course of the day, dark circles or eye bags are among the most frustrating facial features to deal with. They can make you look tired and older, no matter how much sleep you got or how well you take care of your skin. While surgery is one option for removing under-eye bags, it’s a drastic measure that not everyone is comfortable with. Fortunately, there are a few less invasive methods that can help improve these pesky undereye bags. One of these is Micro-needling treatment. Read on to learn more about this procedure and how it can help remove under-eye bags.

What exactly is Micro-needling?

Microneedling is a type of cosmetic procedure that involves using a device to create tiny punctures in the skin. This may sound like it would be painful, but the needles used are very small and cause little to no discomfort. The purpose of micro-needling is to stimulate collagen production, which can help improve the appearance of the facial skin. Micro – injuries to the skin trigger collagen production, resulting in a visible improvement, which can help improve the appearance of the skin.

What is micro-needling therapy for the eyes?

There are many different micro-needling devices on the market, the DermaPen device delivers thousands of tiny punctures. This stimulates the production of collagen and blood flow production and can help reduce the appearance of under-eye bags giving you radiant skin.

Microneedling is a cosmetic treatment that can be used to fade the look of fine lines, wrinkles, and eye bags under your eye skin. Microneedling, also known as collagen induction therapy, has been shown in studies to be an effective scar-minimizing treatment that also combats the signs of aging.

Microneedling or filler treatment can be combined with PRP (platelet-rich plasma) injections to stimulate new cell growth with your plasma growth factors and speed up the healing process. Some people also use serums containing vitamin A or C with micro-needling to enhance their effects. Serum with additional collagen-boosting ingredients like hyaluronic acid can be used as well.

How effective is micro-needling for under-eye bags?

Microneedling is a relatively new procedure, so there is limited research on its efficacy. However, there is some evidence to suggest that it can be effective in reducing the appearance of under-eye bags. One study found that micro-needling improved the appearance of under-eye bags after four weeks of treatment. Assessment is needed prior to treatment as some eye bags are better treated with surgery due to skin laxity. Micro-needling can be used on all skin types and has excellent outcomes that last for a long time.

How long does the procedure take?

The Microneedling procedure itself only takes up to 30 minutes. However, you may need to allow for additional time for numbing cream to be applied to your skin beforehand.

Is the Micro-needling Procedure Painful?
