Microneedling (e.g. Agnes RF, Sylfirm X, Morpheus 8) is a popular way to rejuvenate skin. Some devices, like Agnes RF/Precision RF Microneedling, have additional features that can remove eye bags. 

Characteristics
Precision RF Microneedling
SmoothEye Pro
MechanismThe radiofrequency energy breaks down the fats beneath the skin and simultaneously improves its texture by triggering collagen production through microneedling.Skin rejuvenation is the main goal of this procedure. It does not remove fat directly, but targets the appearance of the skin around the eyes by reducing laxity and improving texture via collagen synthesis, thereby reducing the appearance of eye bags.

The unique transconjunctival step of our SmoothEye Pro treatment further aids in tightening of the orbital septum, hence reducing protrusion of the fat that causes eye bags.

This procedure is more gentle and highly suitable for sensitive skin.
TechnologyUses a combination of radiofrequency (RF) energy with microneedling.Uses Er:YAG and Nd:YAG laser technology.
Side effectsMinor bruising, swelling and redness after the treatment. These normally subside within a few days.Slight swelling and redness that is temporary.
DowntimeMost can return to their usual activities after a couple of days.Most can resume their daily routine a few days after the procedure.
ResultsSkin tightness and significant eye bag reduction are observed in the weeks following the treatment. Full results show over time as the production of collagen continues to improve the skin.Results are noticeable immediately after the treatment and builds over time as more collagen is produced in the skin.

Which is better, Precision RF Microneedling or SmoothEye Pro?

Both non-surgical procedures are effective in getting the job done when it comes to treating eye bags.

Precision RF Microneedling, such as Agnes RF, is best for people whose eye bags are more pronounced as a result of having excessive fats and loose skin. SmoothEye Pro is suited for individuals with eyebags due to natural ageing, and wants to improve the skin texture and tone around the eyes. 

What are other effective non-surgical treatments to remove eye bags?

Other than Precision RF Microneedling and SmoothEye Pro, under eye fillers, RF Gold Microneedling and Thermage are also options to remove eyebags. Each procedure has their own unique way of removing eye bags effectively – our doctors can advise better after understanding your needs and personal preferences. 

Why are non-surgical treatments for eye bags removal becoming more popular?

Non-surgical treatments for eye bags removal are gaining popularity lately because of the various advantages that they offer, including:

  • Fewer risks and side effects – Non-surgical eye bags treatment options catch the interest of many individuals as these procedures offer minor risks and complications compared to a surgical procedure.
  • Less downtime – These treatments are ideal for busy people as non-surgical options require minimal to no downtime, allowing you to return to your daily routine fast.
  • Lower cost – Undergoing any type of surgery is expensive, while non-surgical alternatives are a lot more affordable for many people.  
  • Minimal discomfort and risk –  Non-surgical treatments are minimally invasive, which lessens the risks and side effects that can occur compared to surgical procedures.
  • Quick and natural results – Treatments like laser and radiofrequency (RF) can show fast results. This is very appealing to people who do not want to wait a long time before seeing the outcome of their treatment.

How can removing your eye bags improve your overall visage?

  • Fresher & younger looking appearance– Signs of ageing often occur earliest around the eyes due to more delicate skin around this area. Reducing puffiness of eye bags and fine lines will significantly refresh and give you a more youthful and well-rested appearance. 
  • Enhanced expressions – Without the distraction of heavy eye bags, you can look more approachable and engage better with others.
  • Restored facial balance – Reducing the puffiness under the eyes can improve the harmony of your facial features.

Conclusion

In conclusion, both Precision RF Microneedling and SmoothEye Pro offer effective solutions for reducing eye bags, but the right choice depends on the underlying cause of your eye bags. 

Consulting with a professional is key to determining the best treatment for your unique needs. Whichever you choose, addressing your eye bags can rejuvenate your appearance and boost your confidence.
