Some cosmetic procedures aim to improve dark shadows and undereye bags, such as:
- Microneedling: Microneedling uses sterilized needles to promote collagen production and tighten the skin.
- Laser therapy: Laser therapy uses light to improve bags under the eyes and other features such as dark circles and wrinkles.
- Chemical peels: This involves applying a chemical substance to damage and regenerate the skin in a controlled way.
- Dermal fillers: Injections with substances such as hyaluronic acid may help improve a sunken appearance below the eye.
- Surgery: Surgery such as a lower blepharoplasty may remove excess skin or tighten the muscles around the eyelids.
