In general, laser treatment for under-eye bags does not usually result in recurrence, although this may depend on multiple factors. The principle of laser treatment for under-eye bags involves targeting the eye fat or protruding tissue with specific wavelengths of laser light. The thermal effect of the laser promotes fat breakdown and tissue contraction, achieving the goal of removing under-eye bags. This method offers advantages such as being non-invasive, causing minimal trauma, and allowing for a quick recovery.

The effectiveness of laser treatment for under-eye bags is closely related to individual lifestyle habits, genetic factors, age, and post-treatment care. If proper lifestyle habits are not maintained after treatment, such as staying up late, overusing the eyes, or having an unhealthy diet, under-eye bags may reappear or worsen. Additionally, with aging, declining skin elasticity may also cause under-eye bags to gradually reappear. The effectiveness of laser treatment also depends on the technology and equipment used. High-quality laser devices and professional operation techniques can enhance treatment outcomes and reduce the likelihood of recurrence. Therefore, when choosing a medical facility, one should pay attention to its professionalism and the advancement of its equipment.

To maintain the results of laser treatment for under-eye bags, patients should follow appropriate post-operative care measures. These include keeping the treated area clean and hygienic to avoid infection, ensuring adequate rest, and avoiding prolonged熬夜 (staying up late) and excessive eye strain.
