At Cambridge Medical Group, an aesthetic clinic chain conveniently located in Singapore, one of our signature treatments is medical-grade non-surgical eye bag removal. One of our Aesthetic Doctors, who has over 15 years of medical aesthetics experience, will give you the lowdown on 4 medical-grade eye bag removal treatments that are well-loved in Singapore.

What Are Eye Bags and How Are They Treated?

Eyebags form when the skin and muscles around the eyes weaken and become loose, often as a natural part of ageing. 

Not to be confused with the dark circles under your eyes, eye bags refer to the puffiness or mild swelling that appears right under your lower eyelids. They develop gradually over time when the tissues and muscles supporting the eyelids begin to weaken. As a result, the fat under the eyes starts to shift downward, creating what we call “eye bags.”

At the same time, a few other culprits could be causing these eye bags:

• Lack of sleep or chronic fatigue
• Allergies
• Smoking
• Heredity
• Sun exposure
• Pigmentation
• Eczema

Additionally, consuming too much salt or experiencing hormonal fluctuations can cause fluid retention below the eyes, making things worse by creating more puffiness. Pinpointing the specific cause of your eye bags will help you find the right treatment to address them and restore a refreshed look.

What Are the Key Benefits of Eye Bag Removal?

While completely natural, eye bags often become a growing concern as we age. Not only are eye bags considered one of the telltale signs of ageing, but they somehow can make you look or feel perpetually tired or downcast, no matter how much skincare or makeup you try to pile on.

Although not a medical concern, eye bags can undoubtedly influence your confidence in public. Having your eye bags removed through available treatments is a good investment that typically leads to a multitude of benefits:

• A more refreshed and youthful appearance.
• Firmer skin and enhanced elasticity around the eyes.
• Reduction in puffiness, leading to a healthier look.
• Enhanced confidence and self-esteem.
• Smoother makeup application 

What Are Popular Non-Surgical Eye Bag Medical Treatments in Singapore?

1. Non-Invasive 4D Laser Eyebag Removal

If you are seeking a non-invasive medical-grade solution, do consider 4D Laser Eyebag Removal.

Harnessing efficacious 4D laser technology, you can eliminate eye bags without needing needles, incisions, or bleeding. The laser is applied directly to the under-eye area, effectively shrinking fat deposits and tightening loose skin beneath the eyes.

How it works

This procedure involves the use of two 4D lasers on the palpebral conjunctiva (on the inside) of the eye bag region:

1. Dermal Collagen Stimulating Laser
   A sub-second pulse is directed at the eye bag to avoid heat buildup while stimulating collagen production and contracting fat build-up.
   
2. Skin Resurfacing Laser
   The second laser gently removes a layer of skin and tightens the skin around the eyes.

What it does

With the short and gentle laser heat pulses of the 4D laser, you can look forward to enhanced skin elasticity and texture around the under eye, all without applying excessive pressure to the delicate area.

2. Minimally Invasive Scarless Radio-Frequency Eye Bag Removal

Coming all the way from Korea, the patented micro-needle technology emits radio-frequency energy to remove bothersome under-eye bags.

How it works

Before the procedure, a topical anaesthetic is applied to the under-eye area for comfort. Next, the micro-needle gets to work, delivering targeted radio-frequency energy that effectively reduces fat between the skin and the orbital septum (thin tissue barrier behind the eyelids).

What it does

This process not only tightens and firms the delicate eye area but also stimulates new collagen production, leaving you with a refreshed, youthful look. Even better, you won’t have to worry about visible scars or the hassle of stitch removal that comes with traditional eye bag removal surgery.

3. Minimally Invasive PDRN Injectable (Eye)

For those who are comfortable with injections, another popular eyebag removal treatment to consider is PDRN Healer.

This procedure, also known as the PDRN Healer I (Eye), is an injectable anti-ageing treatment designed to rejuvenate the eye area and reduce unwanted eye bags.

How it works

Rejuran I Treatment For Dark Eye Circles and Eyebags

Using targeted micro-injections of concentrated polynucleotides (PN) extracted from biocompatible salmon DNA along the lower eyelid, this solution works deep within the skin to accelerate cell repair and minimise the appearance of pesky eye bags.

Don’t worry about any pain — you can relax during the procedure, as a topical numbing cream will be applied to keep you as comfortable as possible.

What it does
With regular injections over the next few months, you can look forward to enhanced skin hydration and accelerated cell regeneration, which helps minimise your eye bags. 

4. Minimally Invasive Plasma EyeLIFT

Backed by extensive research in Japan, the Plasma EyeLIFT is a plasma skin treatment specifically targeted at the delicate eye area.

How it works

This treatment directs heat using plasma energy right at the eye area, promoting skin cell regeneration and replacing damaged collagen and elastin with accuracy. 

Moreover, the procedure is completely painless and safe even for sensitive skin.

What it does

With the generation of new skin cells, you can typically see an increase in smoothness and evenness in the complexion around the eye area.  The plasma energy promotes collagen production and skin tightening, which improves skin laxity and addresses puffiness under the eyes.

Soon after the treatment, you may experience a tightening sensation that leaves the skin firmer, helping to lift any droopy skin around the eyes. In just a few weeks, you’ll see great results. With this treatment, you may be able to see ongoing improvements for up to 2 years, with collagen regeneration continuing for over a year after your session.
