The effect of laser眼袋 removal generally lasts for 3-5 years, but the exact duration is not fixed.

Laser眼袋 removal surgery is a minimally invasive surgical procedure that uses laser technology to remove眼袋. The formation of眼袋 is mainly caused by loosening of the eye muscles, fat accumulation, and decreased skin elasticity. Laser眼袋 removal surgery precisely targets the眼袋 area to effectively remove excess fat and tighten the skin around the eyes, achieving the desired effect of眼袋 removal.

If an individual has good skin elasticity, abundant collagen content, and proper postoperative care—including adequate sleep, avoiding excessive eye strain, and maintaining proper eye skin care—the results may last longer, potentially reaching 5 years or more. Conversely, if an individual has poor skin elasticity, significant collagen loss, or improper postoperative care—such as frequent late nights or excessive eye use—the effectiveness may be relatively poor, and the duration may be shorter, lasting only 2-3 years or even less.

Patients should fully understand these factors and undergo surgery and postoperative care under the guidance of a physician to prolong the duration of the surgical results.
