I hated my eye bags!
What could I do about my eye bags?
Firstly, I have to say I had always hated looking at my eyes in the mirror or in photographs. In all the photos of me without my glasses on, all I could see was these eye bags so prominently staring back at me!
I needed these gone… and soon, please! For years I’d hidden behind my glasses (which I also dislike wearing, by the way!) while contemplating whether I should have laser treatment to correct my eyesight. But why, when I would still have these awful eye bags staring back at me? So of course I asked for Laurie’s help. What could be done? What would be the best treatment for me?
Laurie recommended I have two to three ablative Tixel treatments (ablative is the highest device setting) to blast the fat pads away from my eyes. Thank goodness I had some hope!
Tixel treatments for my eyes
- Tixel is a thermal fractional skin rejuvenation machine
- Tixel employs a hot titanium tip which transfers direct heat to the upper dermis.
- Treatment is nearly painless, healing is fast and downtime is short.
My Tixel Treatment Experience
After my initial wince – it felt a bit like very briefly being flicked with an elastic band -Laurie performed the treatment with gentleness and precision. This was relatively pain free and to my surprise was all over within 15 minutes. I did experience some slight redness and heat I can only describe as the heat feeling being similar to when you have caught the sun. However, this was minimal and disappeared within a few hours.
