I have been self-conscious about my under eye bags for as long as I can remember having them, which began at a very young age causing me to look tired and older.

After years of buying every eye cream, and trying out a ton of home remedies I was starting to accept the fact that at some point in my life I would just get plastic surgery and remove the bags permanently.

What’s The Cause?

Bags under the eye are very common and as we age the tissue around the eyes begins to weaken and healthy fat that supports the eyes starts to settle in this space causing the area to appear puffy.

Fluid may also accumulate in this space adding to the puffiness and swelling of the area.

Other factors and lifestyle choices can cause or worsen the severity of your under eye bags like lack of sleep, allergies, smoking, and can also be hereditary.

How Can You Get Rid Of Under Eye Bags?

Home-remedies like these HERE, HERE and HERE as well as eye creams my current go-to HERE might help. And depending on the severity or cause of your under eye bags might even help get rid of them.

Until recent years surgery was the only method of correcting under eye bags, but now there is an in-between option and that procedure is called Tear Trough Filler Treatment.

What Is A Tear Trough Filler Treatment

Called the tear trough treatment (or lower eyelid rejuvenation with filler), the procedure targets the tear trough, which is the lower, sometimes blue-ish area under the eye, just before the cheek.

The technique, which uses hyaluronic acid-based injectable fillers, is painless thanks to numbing creams and takes less than 30 minutes to administer.

They help to fill in the trough groove on both the inside and outside of the eyes, filling the area and completely rejuvenating the lower eyelid area.

The treatment has been gaining popularity over the last few years especially among the younger crowd that is too young for plastic surgery but tired of looking tired.

My Tear Trough Filler Treatment With Nurse Fiona

I made sure that on the days leading to my treatment I did not drink alcohol or take Aspirin/Motrin which can thin out the blood and cause more bruising.

I arrived at my appointment 20 minutes prior to ensure that I had enough time to apply the numbing cream.

Once in Nurse Fiona’s treatment room, she proceeded to explain the process and what to expect, she then removed the numbing cream and cleansed and disinfected the area.

I stood up and she proceeded to mark the areas she would inject, this whole prep work process took about five minutes.

Fiona than began injecting the area, very meticulously, and there was absolutely no pain.

The filler was working instantly and while recording the process I could see the under eye area look more even and less puffy after each injection.

My whole treatment took roughly 20-25 minutes after a few injections she would stop and have me stand up and move my face up down and mark where more filler was needed.

There really is no better way to describe the feeling of looking in the mirror right after the treatment, the tear trough treatment is life changing.

Only people with under eye bags can relate, it starts to become such a burden and even affects your self-esteem.

After the treatment, I was a little bit swollen in the area and had very minimal bruising in the injection sites but nothing that a little concealer can’t hide.

As the days and weeks passed the results kept getting better, at about four weeks is when you can see the final results.

It has been eight weeks since my treatment, and I am so happy with the results of filling my tear trough area instantly rejuvenating my face and making me look younger and rested!

The results can last up to one year and Nurse Fiona’s 2018 price for this treatment starts at $599 based on individual concern.

Since my filler treatment, I feel more confident and use 60% less concealer than previously and my only regret is not doing the treatment sooner!
