Beauticians I need your advice! Saggy under eye bags

11 replies

Hi,

I'm 50 and need help!

Overall I don't think I look too bad but am developing pretty noticeable eyebags / loose skin under my eyes which is by far the worst area for me.
I don't want to have injectables.
So beautiful beauty people please can you advise me what are the best salon treatments I can have to make my skin look at it's best and to try and minimise those damn drooping eyebags/upper cheeks?

I've tried CACI and Guinot treatments which give nice immediate results but haven't done a full course to see if that would achieve better results.
Beauticians if you see saggy undeyes which treatments get the best results??

Also do home LED masks help or work? And, if so, which would you recommend and why?

Lastly, I want to get rid of my excess hair while it's still dark - which Lumea version should I get for face and body?

Thanks!

Thanks @JenniferBooth I’ve tried a similar thing from Skin Bunny (after seeing miraculous results on social media) as a quick fix and while it helps a bit I would love to know if there’s any treatments that can improve them longer term.

I dont think it's possible to get rid of bags without invasive treatment OP. I have eye bags myself.

The options are lower blepharoplasty or tear trough filler as far as I know, but I'm not an aesthetician.

Thanks @keepincool I suppose no one would have them if it was easy to get rid of them!
Surgery just seems so extreme and expensive, I guess I just have to learn to live with them or bite the bullet!

Fillers- but have to be done by a dr not just a beautician.
They fill the bits under the bags so the bags are less noticeable.

Otherwise it's surgery.

there is another thread where the OP is getting some work done in Lithuania that you may find interesting. I'm watching the thread to see how things work out for her, and if it goes well I may consider having some work done there in a few years. My DN's fiancé is Lithuanian and she has heard good things about the clinic in question.

Any other advice on the best treatments to help?

Do LED masks help?

Watching because I am the same and would lobe to be able to sort my eye bags out.

Also OP if you want to buy my Lumea feel free to message me, only used it twice but it doesn’t work on me, my skin tone is too dark.

Also I think you can get LED masks that have an eye area thats supposed to help. I haven’t got one so can’t vouch whether they work or not. From the bit of stuff I have read though it takes time to see any difference with them.
