Eye bag treatment to refresh tired or aging eyes
In the lower eyelid a weakening of the orbital septum, and in the cheek area a loss of soft tissue volume, leads to accentuated appearance of the lower bony orbital margin, which lies between the lower eyelid and the cheek. This also results in the appearance of lower eyelid fat pockets (‘eye bags’) and together these can lead to a dark shadow beneath the eyes (a ‘tear trough defect’) causing a tired appearance.
Using a Hyaluronic Acid filler, a product consisting of cross-linked, hyaluronic acid (HA) with enhances skin volume, the practitioner can inject along the groove to plump the tissue, replacing lost volume and fixing the depression.
