Introduction
In general, if the under-eye bags are mild to moderate, they can be removed with laser treatment. However, if the under-eye bags are severe or caused by issues related to the eye's muscle structure, laser treatment may have limited effectiveness. Prior to undergoing laser surgery for under-eye bags, adequate preparation is necessary, including facial cleansing and avoiding makeup. After the procedure, it is important to keep the wound clean and dry.

In general, laser treatment can effectively remove mild to moderate under-eye bags. However, for severe under-eye bags or those caused by structural issues of the eye muscles, laser therapy may have limited effectiveness. The details are as follows:

Laser removal of under-eye bags works on the principle of laser energy targeting the dermal layer of the skin. The high-energy heat generated by the laser breaks down localized fat, helping to eliminate under-eye bags. For mild to moderate cases, laser treatment can successfully reduce bags, tighten the skin, and stimulate collagen production, thereby improving the overall appearance of the under-eye area.

For severe under-eye bags or those resulting from underlying muscle structure problems, laser treatment may be less effective. In such cases, improvement may require corrective surgical procedures such as blepharoplasty, performed under the guidance of a qualified physician.

Prior to undergoing laser treatment for under-eye bags, adequate preparation is necessary, including thorough facial cleansing and avoiding makeup. After the procedure, it is important to keep the treated area clean and dry to prevent infection; ensure sufficient rest and get adequate sleep; and avoid strenuous exercise or any impact to the treated area.
