Non-Surgical Eye Bag Removal in Singapore: An Alternative To Eye Bag Surgery
Eye bags refer to the puffiness or swelling that occurs under the eyes, which can create a tired, aged appearance. Eye bags can be caused by a variety of factors, including genetics, ageing, and lifestyle habits such as lack of sleep, stress, and poor diet.
There are several treatments available to reduce the appearance of eye bags. Non-surgical options include lifestyle changes, such as getting enough sleep, reducing salt intake, quitting smoking, and drinking plenty of water. Home remedies like cold compresses and cucumber slices can also help reduce puffiness and inflammation.
For mild to moderate eye bags, non-surgical options such as dermal fillers, chemical peels, and laser resurfacing can help improve the appearance of eye bags.
However, for severe or persistent eye bags, surgical options like blepharoplasty may be necessary to remove excess skin and fat from the eyelids.
Common Causes of Eye Bags
Eye bags are often more of a cosmetic concern than a medical one. While they can occasionally be linked to underlying health conditions, most people notice under-eye puffiness and sagging skin as an early sign of ageing – sometimes as early as their 30s. This makes eye bag removal or treatment a popular choice for those seeking a fresher, more youthful appearance.
Some of the most common causes of eye bags include:
INTRINSIC AGEING With age, the delicate skin around the eyes becomes thinner, loses elasticity, and weakens in structure. This natural process often results in sagging, puffiness, and the appearance of eye bags.
GENETICS Heredity plays a big role. If one or both parents have prominent eye bags, you may be more likely to develop them too, regardless of lifestyle habits.
SLEEP DEPRIVATION Lack of quality sleep is a key contributor to puffy eyes. Insufficient rest can cause fluid to pool beneath the eyes, making eye bags more noticeable.
HORMONAL CHANGES Shifts in hormone levels can trigger fluid retention, leading to swelling and puffiness under the eyes.
SUN EXPOSURE Excessive sun exposure damages collagen and elastin, reducing skin firmness. Over time, this can worsen sagging and contribute to the formation of under-eye bags.
How does non-surgical eye bag removal work?
Eye bags and dark circles in the upper eyelid and under-eye eye area are often caused by a combination of excess fat, excess skin, and pigmentation or shadowing under the eyes.
While eyelid surgery or surgical eye bag removal can effectively remove excess fat and tighten the skin, these surgical treatments involve incisions, potential visible scars, and swelling and bruising, usually performed under local anaesthesia by experienced plastic surgeons.
For patients seeking scarless eye bag removal with minimal downtime, RF microneedling offers a precise, minimally invasive solution. AGNES uses controlled radiofrequency energy to remove excess fat, tighten the skin, and stimulate collagen production, restoring a smoother, firmer eye region without the risks of plastic surgery.
In addition to targeting eye bags, many patients experience dark circles or pigmentation issues under the eyes. Treatments like pigment lasers can reduce hyperpigmentation and brighten the under-eye area, while dermal fillers help to smooth hollows and shadows, giving a more youthful, refreshed appearance.
By combining AGNES RF for excess skin and fat, pigment laser for dark circles, and undereye dermal fillers for volume restoration, patients can achieve comprehensive rejuvenation of the eye area. This multi-modality approach addresses both structural and cosmetic concerns in the eye region, reducing the need for invasive eye bag removal surgery while delivering long-lasting, natural-looking results.
Frequently asked question about eye bag removal in Singapore
AGNES RF microneedling is a minimally invasive and precise treatment for eye bag removal, but like any procedure, it can have temporary side effects. Patients may experience mild swelling and bruising around the eye area immediately after treatment, which typically resolves within a few days. Some may notice slight redness or tenderness at the treated site, while tiny pinprick marks from the microneedles can appear but usually fade quickly without leaving a visible scar. Rarely, minor discomfort or temporary tightness in the eye region may occur as the skin heals and collagen production is stimulated.
Compared to surgical eye bag removal, these side effects are generally mild and short-lived, making AGNES RF a popular choice for those seeking scarless eye bag removal and natural-looking rejuvenation of the under-eye area. Following post-treatment care instructions, such as avoiding excessive sun exposure and using gentle skincare, can help minimize these effects and support optimal results.
EYE BAG REMOVAL TREATMENT Non-surgical eye bag removal treatments can help reduce puffiness, tighten the skin, and restore a refreshed appearance to the eye area. Prices typically range from S$600 to S$1,000, depending on the doctor’s experience and the specific technique used.
UNDER EYE DERMAL FILLER For patients looking to improve hollows, smoothen contours, and reduce the visibility of eye bags, under-eye dermal fillers are an effective option. Costs generally range from S$700 to S$1,200, depending on the type and amount of filler required to achieve optimal results in the eye region.
One of the advantages of AGNES RF microneedling and under-eye dermal fillers is that both treatments involve minimal downtime, making them convenient options for eye bag removal and under-eye rejuvenation. After AGNES RF, patients may experience mild swelling, redness, or bruising in the eye area, which usually subsides within 3 to 7 days. Tiny pinprick marks from the microneedles typically fade quickly and do not leave a visible scar. Under-eye fillers may cause slight puffiness or tenderness immediately after treatment, but these effects generally resolve within 1 to 3 days. Both procedures allow patients to return to daily activities quickly, making them ideal for those seeking scarless eye bag removal and a refreshed look in the eye region without the extended recovery associated with surgical eye bag removal.
Non-surgical eye bag removal treatments, such as AGNES RF microneedling or under-eye dermal fillers, are ideal for individuals who want to reduce puffiness, dark circles, or hollows in the eye area without undergoing surgical eye bag removal. Suitable candidates typically have mild to moderate eye bags, excess skin, or under-eye shadows, and are looking for a scarless, minimally invasive solution with minimal downtime. Patients with good overall health and realistic expectations about the results tend to benefit the most. Those seeking to tighten the skin, smoothen contours, or remove excess fat under the eyes may combine AGNES RF for fat reduction and skin tightening with dermal fillers for volume restoration and pigment laser treatments to improve dark circles. While non-surgical treatments are effective for many, patients with severe excess skin or pronounced eye bags may still require eyelid surgery performed by experienced plastic surgeons for optimal results.
This treatment takes about 30 to 45 minutes excluding the numbing and post-treatment care.
The number of sessions you need depends on the severity of your eye bags. Although you can see some results after one treatment, your doctor may recommend you to undergo a programme of 3 sessions for a more effective, longer-lasting result.
Non-surgical eye bag removal options cannot replace eye bag removal surgery. However, they are a great alternative for patients who are hesitant about undergoing surgery.
Contrary to popular belief, aegyo sal is not eye bag. Aegyo sal is a small piece of fatty tissue that sits right under the lower eyelids. We often see aegyo sal in younger children and they seem to disappear when they reach adulthood. Many people like the appearance of aegyo sal because it gives them a youthful appearance. On the other hand, eye bags are formed because the muscles that support the eyelids weaken and the fatty tissues under the eyes are displaced and move into the lower eyelids. The formation of eye bags often make people look tired and unattractive.
