Abstract
Numerous individuals suffer from the lower eye bag. Lower eye bag treatment is a challenge that might require new methods. Depending on the cause, there are different treatment approaches to reduce puffiness under the eyes. In this pilot study, 9 patients with lower eye bags received Endolift therapy (200–300-nm fiber) and were followed up for 6 months. The patients were evaluated according to biometric characteristics. Additionally, outcomes were evaluated by three blinded dermatologists, and patients’ satisfaction was assessed. The obtained biometric results showed that Endolift laser treatment could increase both the dermis and epidermis of the skin and skin elasticity in this area. Furthermore, the results indicated that Endolift therapy showed good and very good improvement in about 90% of patients. Photographic data evaluation indicated a 90% improvement in the appearance of eye bags (P < 0.05). Endolift laser seems to be a safe and effective method for lower eye bag treatment. It is a noninvasive treatment with satisfactory results with minimal downtime and side effects. Endolift therapy significantly reduces the appearance of eye bags and wrinkles and increases skin elasticity under the eyes; therefore, it is an effective method for lower eye bag treatment. The method is pain-free, bloodless, and without the need for stitches. Endolift therapy allows the patient to avoid surgery.
