Malar Bags Treatment
Advanced Non-Surgical Festoons Treatment at Solihull Medical Cosmetic Clinic
Restore a Fresher, More Youthful Appearance Without Surgery
Dr Sagoo is a highly experienced cosmetic laser surgeon and Medical Director of Solihull Medical Cosmetic Clinic. He specialises in advanced laser treatments for facial rejuvenation, skin tightening, malar bags, festoons and non-surgical facial contouring.
Using pioneering Endolaser® techniques, Dr Sagoo offers innovative treatment options for patients seeking significant cosmetic improvement without the need for traditional surgery.
Malar bags and festoons are a common cosmetic concern that can create a tired, puffy or aged appearance beneath the eyes and across the upper cheek area. These swellings often develop due to ageing, fluid retention, skin laxity or hereditary factors and typically become more noticeable over time.
At Solihull Medical Cosmetic Clinic, we offer one of the most advanced non-surgical treatments available for malar bags and festoons using ultrasound-guided Endolaser® technology. This innovative procedure helps reduce puffiness, tighten skin, improve facial contours and restore a more refreshed appearance without surgical incisions or visible scarring.

What Are Malar Bags and Festoons?
Malar bags are pockets of swelling that develop over the cheekbones beneath the lower eyelids. Festoons are more pronounced folds of skin and fluid that extend across the upper cheeks and lower eyelid region.
Unlike traditional under-eye bags, malar bags and festoons are often resistant to skincare products and can be challenging to treat with conventional cosmetic procedures.
As the condition progresses, the swelling may become more visible and contribute to a permanently tired or aged appearance.
The Endolaser® Solution
Endolaser® is a minimally invasive laser procedure that uses an ultra-thin fibre-optic laser filament inserted beneath the skin through a tiny entry point without the need for surgical incisions.
The laser energy is delivered precisely into the tissues responsible for swelling, fluid accumulation and skin laxity. This stimulates:
- Collagen production
- Tissue remodelling
- Skin tightening
- Reduction of fluid retention
- Improvement in skin texture and elasticity
- Reduction of excess fatty tissue where appropriate
The result is a smoother, firmer and more youthful appearance around the eyes and upper cheeks.
How Does Endolaser® Work?
The laser energy stimulates a controlled healing response beneath the skin, encouraging collagen formation and tissue contraction.
This process helps to:
- Tighten loose skin
- Improve skin quality and elasticity
- Reduce the appearance of malar bags and festoons
- Improve facial contours
- Create a smoother transition between the lower eyelid and cheek
For patients with excess fatty fullness in the malar region, the laser can also selectively reduce fatty tissue, further enhancing facial definition.
Many patients experience significant improvement after a single treatment, with results that may last several years before further treatment is considered.
Combination Malar Bags Treatment
For more advanced cases, Dr Sagoo may recommend combining Endolaser® with additional regenerative treatments to optimise results and achieve the most comprehensive rejuvenation of the lower eyelid and cheek area.
Benefits may include:
- Improvement of fine lines and wrinkles
- Enhanced skin tightening and collagen stimulation
- Smoother skin texture
- Improved skin quality and elasticity
- Additional treatment of residual fluid retention associated with malar bags and festoons
- Further refinement of the lower eyelid and cheek contour
By creating controlled microscopic channels within the skin, the CO₂ laser stimulates powerful collagen remodelling and skin regeneration. This secondary stage of treatment can be particularly beneficial for patients with skin laxity, fine crepey lines beneath the eyes, or persistent fluid accumulation following Endolaser® treatment.
When combined with ultrasound-guided Endolaser®, Fractional CO₂ Laser Resurfacing provides a comprehensive approach to treating both the deeper structural causes of malar bags and festoons and the surface skin changes that contribute to an aged or tired appearance.
Two-Stage Malar Bags Treatment Pathway
For many patients, treatment is performed in two stages to maximise both cosmetic and long-term outcomes.
Stage 1 Endolaser®
The Endolaser® procedure targets the deeper tissues responsible for malar bags and festoons. The laser energy stimulates collagen production, reduces fluid retention, tightens supporting tissues and improves the contour of the lower eyelid and cheek junction.
Stage 2 – Fractional CO₂ Laser Resurfacing (4–6 Weeks Later)
Approximately 4–6 weeks following Endolaser® treatment, Fractional CO₂ Laser Resurfacing may be recommended to further improve skin quality, fine lines and wrinkles, while also helping to target any residual fluid accumulation beneath the malar bags and festoons.
This staged approach allows the deeper tissues to heal and remodel before enhancing the skin surface, producing a smoother, firmer and more youthful appearance.
The combination of Endolaser® and Fractional CO₂ Laser Resurfacing often provides the most comprehensive non-surgical treatment for patients with malar bags, festoons, skin laxity and lower eyelid ageing.
Recovery and Aftercare
Patient comfort and recovery are prioritised throughout every stage of treatment.
Following Endolaser® treatment, mild swelling, tenderness and bruising may occur. These effects typically improve over several days.
We provide detailed aftercare guidance and medical-grade recovery products to support optimal healing and minimise downtime.
Our regenerative skincare protocols, including Calecim® stem cell technology, may be recommended to accelerate healing and enhance recovery.
Follow-up appointments with Dr Sagoo are arranged to monitor progress, assess results and discuss any additional treatments if appropriate.
