Non-Surgical (Scarless) Eye Bag Removal Treatment in Singapore
Treat eye bags and dark eye circles without surgery for clearer & brighter-looking eyes.
Scarless Eye Bag Removal Treatment
Scarless Eye Bag Removal is a minimally invasive treatment that permanently removes fat tissues from the under-eye area with no incision (no cut), stitches, or visible scars. Using a 600-micrometre (0.6-millimetre) needle-size laser, this procedure removes fat and water through an almost invisible entry point.
This treatment typically takes around 30 minutes and offers a significantly shorter recovery time compared to traditional surgical eye bag removal methods.
Understanding Eye Bags: Causes and Concerns
Eye bags are a common concern that can make the face appear tired or aged. At Dream Plastic Surgery, we understand that several factors contribute to the development of under-eye bags. Here are some of the most common causes:
- Ageing: With age, skin loses elasticity and muscles weaken, leading to sagging and the appearance of under-eye puffiness.
- Genetics: Some people are genetically predisposed to develop eye bags, regardless of lifestyle or age.
- Lifestyle Habits: Factors like poor sleep, a high-salt diet, and excessive alcohol can worsen under-eye swelling and fluid retention.
- Fluid Retention: Daily fluctuations in fluid levels, often due to diet or hormonal changes, can lead to puffiness around the eyes, especially in the morning.
Identifying the underlying cause of your eye bags can help in selecting the most effective treatment. At Dream Plastic Surgery, we offer comprehensive eye bag removal solutions in Singapore, including both surgical and non-surgical options tailored to address your specific needs and aesthetic goals.
Key Benefits Of Scarless Eye Bag Removal
This minimally invasive technique involves no external scars, ensuring a natural appearance. Patients experience only mild bruising and swelling, enjoy a short downtime with an early return to work, and require no stitch removal.
- Non-surgical solution: No incision (no cut), stitches, or visible scars.
- Permanent results: Excess fat is removed permanently.
- Gentle approach: The fine laser probe allows for careful treatment of delicate areas like the lower eyelids.
- Minimal trauma: Causes less bruising, swelling, and skin trauma.
- Quick recovery: Recovery time is faster than surgical techniques.
- Fast and safe: Minimal risks with a high level of safety approach.
- Customisable results: Can be combined with facial fat grafting for enhanced outcomes.
In general, this procedure is simple, does not have an age limit, and is suitable for almost anyone. However, you are an ideal candidate if you are young with mild to moderate eye bags, have a lesser amount of excess skin, and minor skin laxity.
Suitable Candidates
Scarless eye bag removal treatments are recommended for individuals with:
- Good skin elasticity
- Experience mild bulging on the lower eyelids
- If you wish to improve dark eye circles
- Preference for minimal downtime
Addressing Eye Bags & Dark Circles With Non-Surgical Eye Bag Removal
Eye bags often develop with age as the fat pad under the lower eyelid becomes more prominent, causing the skin and supporting tissues to weaken and sag. This creates a puffy appearance under the eyes, while grooves or sunken areas can cast shadows, making one look tired and aged.
Non-surgical eye bag removal offers minimally invasive solutions for addressing mild to moderate eye bags, restoring a refreshed and youthful look.
Types Of Non-surgical Eye Bag Removal Treatments
At Dream, we offer two non-surgical eye bag removal treatments. While both treatments help to improve the appearance of the eye bags, they produce slightly different results. The doctor will understand your expected results before recommending a treatment that is suitable for you.
Dermal Fillers
Dermal filler is one of the most common, non-surgical treatments for eye bags that form under the eyes. This procedure involves injecting soft hyaluronic acid fillers into the under-eye area to restore volume, reduce the visibility of eye bags, and create a rejuvenated appearance.
The dermal fillers are injected with the help of a thin needle to reach deep under the eye bags, placing them just above the patient’s orbital bone. Different puncture and threading methods are then used to fill the trough and achieve a lifting effect in the affected area under the eyes. The procedure is quick, typically taking only 10-30 minutes, and delivers immediate results with minimal to no downtime. However, the results are temporary.. Depending on the type of fillers used, results last between 6 to 12 months before the body metabolises and dissolves the fillers naturally. Repeated treatments will be required to maintain the results.
Advantages Of Dermal Fillers For Eye Bag Removal
- Immediate results can be seen after treatment
- Results can last from 6 to 12 months
- Procedure takes about 10-15 minutes to complete
- Minimal or no downtime involved so one can return to their daily activities after treatment
- No incisions involved hence no stitches or risk of scarring
- Low risk and safer compared to surgical procedures
- More affordable treatment cost
Scarless Eye Bag Removal
Scarless Eye Bag Removal uses an ultra-fine, needle-sized laser to:
- Permanently remove excess fat and water from the under-eye area.
- Reduce puffiness and sagging for a smoother appearance.
- Provide results without scars and with a shorter recovery time compared to surgical methods.
Both treatments are less invasive options to enhance the under-eye area, effectively addressing mild to moderate eye bags and dark circles for a rejuvenated and refreshed look, without the need for surgery or extended downtime.
Recovery From Scarless Eye Bag Removal Treatment
Due to the absence of any kind of surgical intervention, scarless eye bag removal treatment in Singapore has almost negligible downtime or a short recovery period of 4 to 5 days. You can leave the clinic and return to your daily routine work soon after getting this treatment.
Post-treatment care is straightforward, requiring only basic precautions as advised by your doctor to support healing and ensure optimal results.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) about Non-surgical Eye Bag Removal Treatment in Singapore
Are There Any Cuts And Stitches Involved In This Treatment?
No, the non-surgical eye bag removal process is a non-invasive alternative to surgical eye bag removal. There are no incisions and stitches It usually takes the doctor 30 minutes to perform this and the patient is free to go after just one appointment.
What Happens During The Non-Surgical Eye Bag Removal?
IV sedation, local anesthesia or both can be given to you before the process begins. Normally, after the anesthetic injection has anesthetized the area, the plastic surgeon starts by creating an entry for the laser using a needle prick. Unlike the surgical procedure, no skin tissue is removed. In this process, an optic fiber laser is inserted through the hole created by the needle prick.
The laser liquefies the fatty tissues which is then removed via a small cannula. You do not need to worry about any remaining fat because if any damaged fat tissue is not removed by the cannula, it resorbs and gets eliminated naturally within the next couple of months.
The procedure does not involve incision, hence recovery is relatively quick and takes around 3 to 5 days. During recovery, it is common to expect minor swelling and bruising. Regular application of cold compress can help to reduce swelling quicker.
Are There Any Side Effects Of Non-Surgical Eye Bag Removal Singapore?
The process is simple involving needle prick and is generally done under local anesthesia and/or IV sedation only, so side effects significantly less as compared to surgical options. The common side effects which include swelling, bruising, redness and pain can be easily managed post treatment.
How Many Sessions Are Required?
Normally just 1 session is sufficient to correct mild eye bag condition. Patients with moderate eye bagging may require an additional session for better results.
Are The Results Of Non-Surgical Eye Bag Removal Permanent?
Once the fatty eye bag is liquified and removed via a laser, the collagen activity of the region is enhanced. The stimulated collagen growth paves way for healing and elimination of any remaining fat. In most cases the results are long-lasting. However, the results rely on the following factors:
- Age of the patient
- Condition of the skin (texture)
- Structure of bone
- Presence of underlying disease (metabolic disease, etc.)
It must be noted that the procedure will only help impart a younger and fresher look, but it cannot stop the eye (muscles and skin) from growing old.
Will The Non-Surgical Eye Bag Removal Leave Any Facial Scars?
No. The procedure leaves only a tiny needle prick, and there are no stitches involved. Therefore, there is no scar formation whatsoever. The healing of the puncture created by the needle prick is akin to an injection.
How Long Does It Take To Recover?
As there are no stitches involved, the healing and recovery is quick. There may be some swelling and bruising, but patents generally do not experience much pain after the procedure. In most cases people can see results within a few days and can get back to work within 3 to 4 days.
How Can I Speed Up Recovery?
To speed up the process of recovery you can follow these steps:
- Apply ice packs to the treated area
- Keep your head elevated while resting
- Restrain from carrying out hectic activities (sports and weightlifting, etc.) for at least two to three weeks
When Can I Shower After Surgery?
You can shower the next day after the procedure. You can use shampoo and bath as per normal. However, avoid long baths, steam rooms and saunas as that may affect the healing process. After showers, do pat the under eye area dry with a clean cloth. It is recommended that you avoid rubbing the under eye area for at least a week.
When Can I Start Using Makeup?
You can apply makeup two to three days from the procedure. You might want to conceal any bruising or redness with a concealer. However, do avoid vigorous rubbing motion.
When Will I Be Allowed To Play Sports Again?
Though the procedure does not involve any surgical intervention, taking care is beneficial for the patient. Extreme sports such as football, soccer, hockey, etc. carry a greater risk of injury (especially facial injury). For patients who have undergone eye bag removal (surgical or non-surgical), a facial injury is the last thing they would want to happen.
In addition to the injury risk, vigorous exercise and sports put strain on the treated area. This added strain can lead to abnormal and delayed healing. Therefore, hectic sports and exercises (weightlifting and yoga) are usually prohibited for at least a week. You are recommended to check with the surgeon before resuming these activities. However, you can resume light exercises such as stretching and strolling which helps to improve blood circulation and speed up recovery.
Can I Drive My Car Home After The Treatment?
No. Even though it is a small procedure, you are still advised to abstain from driving right after the procedure. In general, the plastic surgeon suggests you come with a relative/friend who can drive you back home. Or you can hire a taxi back. You can resume driving from the next day.
