Take a good look at your bags – is there a hollow trough between the base of the puff and the top of your cheek? If so, then a smart new technique could be perfect for you. Surgery to address tear trough hollows is not always appropriate but tear-trough rejuvenation with dermal fillers brings back a youthful volume and contours the lower eyelids in a safe and minimally invasive way. You’ll have a series of micro-injections along the line of the hollow using Juvederm – hyaluronic gel fillers – followed by a little gentle massage to distribute the gel evenly. There is only minimal discomfort and the procedure only takes about 10 mins. As the result is very injector dependent it’s best to seek out an experienced doctor to carry out the treatment. There could be a little swelling and a 10 % chance of bruising around the eyes but they soon settle. You’ll see the results instantly and the effects last around nine to 12 to 18 months.

If there is an excess of fat in the under eye area, this can be treated non-surgically by Mesotherapy injections. You’ll have a series of micro-injections in the fat bag below the eye. Active ingredients in the Mesotherapy solution dissolve the fat cell wall and improve circulation in the area. Two to four sessions two weeks apart are needed for the desired effect. Traditional surgery involves removing the fat pads which can, down the line, result in a skeletal look which has to be remedied with fat transfers into the area or dermal filler volume loss replacement.

Very often a hooded eye is caused by a droopy forehead and thus treatments to the brow or forehead above with Laser can raise the eyelid by 1 to 3 mm non-surgically. A chemical brow lift using Anti-wrinkle Injections can also improve the hooded appearance. (See sagging brow section)
