Does laser eye bag removal leave a wound?
Disease description:
Because I often work late into the night for prolonged periods, I have developed noticeable eye bags, which affect my appearance and self-confidence. Recently, I heard that laser treatment for eye bags is an effective option, and I am considering trying it, but I'm afraid it might cause wounds. May I ask, does laser treatment for eye bags result in wounds?

Laser eye bag removal is a method that uses laser technology to eliminate eye bags, primarily by applying laser thermal energy to the fatty tissue beneath the eye bags, causing it to shrink or dissolve, thereby achieving the effect of removing the eye bags. There are usually small wounds, but they do not affect aesthetics.
Compared to traditional surgical methods, laser eye bag removal offers the advantages of less trauma and faster recovery. During the procedure, the physician makes a tiny incision in the conjunctiva beneath the eye bag and inserts a laser fiber into the fat layer. This incision is so small that it typically leaves no noticeable scar. Laser eye bag removal is a non-invasive treatment that does not require surgical incisions, thus no visibly apparent wounds are formed. However, during laser application to the skin, minor tissue damage may still occur due to energy penetration, creating some fine and minute wounds. These wounds usually close quickly and begin to crust within a few days after the procedure, with the scabs gradually falling off as healing progresses.
Although the wounds are minimal after laser eye bag removal, proper care of the treated area is still necessary to prevent infection.
