Clifford Eye Bag Protocol: Best Non-Surgical Eye Bag Removal?

Spilling the best kept secret that’s seeking to revolutionize eye bag treatments in Singapore is The Clifford Eye Bag Protocol.

A permanent, non-surgical eye bag removal procedure, it involves a brand new microcannula device that promises to resolve the most common problem among patients in Singapore – lower eyelid eye bags.

So far, besides AGNES eye bag treatment, the treatment of eye bags has been strictly limited to surgery and dermal fillers. However, this is all about to radically change.

I will also be showing you how I combine both Secret RF and AGNES RF as part of the Clifford Eye Bag Protocol – obliterating eye bags for good.

Why to treat your eye bags

It is said that your eyes are the window to your soul – and eye bags, dark eye circles, hollowness and wrinkles only serve to dull their sparkle.

Being one of the biggest giveaways of your age and overall fatigue, the most common complaints that I get from patients with eye bags is that they look older, more haggard, less radiant and puffy.

Worst of all? You don’t have to be old in order to suffer from eye bags. I frequently have patients in their early 20s coming in for treatment due to premature eye bags.

Although there is no natural way to get rid of eye bags – it is still a treatable condition. While surgical methods such as lower eyelid blepharopasty can help to get rid of eye bags, most patients in Singapore prefer to undergo a non-surgical and non-invasive treatment if given the choice.

This is where the Clifford Eye Bag Protocol comes in to bridge that gap – using Secret RF and AGNES RF, I am able to provide permanent results and faster recovery times for all my patients, without them having to go under the knife.

What causes eye bags?

Let’s first understand some basics of periocular anatomy and their role to play in forming eye bags.

Deep under the skin of our face are “fat pads” – compartmentalised fats found underneath locations such as the lower eyelids, where eye bags commonly emerge.

Eye bags are mainly caused by changes in our facial structure as we age. As we get older, the muscles and tissues that support the structures of our face (including the fat pads) get weaker. Our skin also starts to thin, lose collagen and overall elasticity. This weakening of the periorbital skin, muscles and tissues causes the fat pads around the eyelids to protrude or herniate more superficially – leading to the appearance of lower eyelid eye bags.

Lower eyelid eye bags are made more severe when the deep periocular fat pads begin to descend with age, creating under-eye hollows that darkens the eye area.

It is important to recognize that true eye bags are not due to “water retention” or poor sleep; although these two causes may increase eyelid puffiness.

The Clifford Eye Bag Protocol – The Permanent Non-Surgical Eye Bag Removal in Singapore

The Clifford Eye Bag Protocol comprises of a unique combination of AGNES RF, and our brand-new Secret RF microcannula device – the first of its kind in Singapore.

The secret to Secret RF is in its radiofrequency technology – specially designed to stimulate and remodel collagen and address the common signs of aging.

Once the needles are inserted into the skin, it acts to transmit precise and focused radiofrequency energy into the treatment area – resulting in dermal remodelling and collagen production to help tighten the skin. Since the superficial part of the skin is spared during the process, patients who are not suitable for laser treatments can greatly benefit from this protocol.

By combining a novel fractional radiofrequency microneedling treatment to treat acne scars and wrinkles, and a microcannula system to help lift saggy skin – I am able to customize a comprehensive treatment plan for each patient, regardless of their concern or skin type.

How does Secret RF work for eye bags?

Secret RF features the RF powered microcannula – a fine needle that delivers precise radiofrequency energy to break down the fat cells in the lower eyelid fat pads. It also acts to stimulate collagen formation and remodelling, tightening the dermis of the lower eyelid and creating a lifting effect.

This dual approach serves to treat the structural problems in the orbital fat pads, skin, muscles and tissues that causes eye bags. What used to be only treated with lower eyelid surgery can now be done using non-surgical eye bag removal – with better and more permanent results.

How is Secret RF different from the AGNES RF for eye bag removal?

AGNES RF consists of a fixed-depth needle with high RF energy concentrated at its tip. The needle is inserted directly into the fat pads to target fat tissue and tighten the skin.

Due to its fixed-depth, the Secret RF microcannula is better able to deliver more controlled RF energy at all layers of the fat pads – allowing for more even and complete fat tissue targeting and effective eye bag removal. This is why I like using it as a complement to AGNES RF treatment.

What are the benefits of the Clifford Eye Bag Protocol?

Put simply, it is a non-surgical and permanent eye bag removal providing much shorter downtime compared to surgical blepharoplasty. Results can be seen in just 1 – 2 sessions, although more severe cases may require multiple sessions or a combination treatment using AGNES RF.

What is the procedure like?

Step 1: Topical local anaesthesia is applied for 30 minutes.

Step 2: Local anaesthesia is injected to numb the skin and tissues around the eye bag.

Step 3: Treatment with RF current begins. The microcannula is gently inserted into the orbital fat pad of the eye bag to deliver RF energy – meting away fat cells and tightening the dermis.

How soon can I expect to see results?

It takes approximately 1 month to notice eye bag improvement with Clifford Eye Bag Protocol.

Is the procedure painful?

You may experience some warmth and a slight prickly sensation; otherwise, there is almost no pain at all. Topical numbing cream and injection of local anaesthesia will be administered before your treatment to help make the experience as comfortable as possible.

Is it safe?

Both Secret RF and AGNES RF are safe to use in the treatment of eye bags, wrinkles, acne and saggy skin. The microcannula allows the doctor to deliver precise and controlled RF energy directly into the dermis and deeper layers of the skin, lowering the risk of burns as compared to other machines in Singapore. The needles on the hand piece of the AGNES RF machine is also very fine, equating to less injuries being made to nearby tissues and structures.

This makes the Clifford Eye Bag Protocol safe for all skin types, with minimal risks of complications like post inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH).

Are there any side effects?

There may be some swelling, redness and bruising experienced at the lower eyelids for 1 week after the treatment.

There is also theoretically a low risk of fat adhesion – when scar tissue grows over the fat cells and the muscle in the lower eyelid (orbicularis oculi). This may affect eye movements temporarily; however, is completely reversible.

Am I a suitable candidate?

If you are currently suffering from eye bags, wrinkles, depressed scars from acne, chicken pox or trauma, saggy skin and uneven skin texture – you are suitable for Secret RF treatment. However, it is always best to first consult a doctor and discuss your available treatment options.

How long does a session take?

Non-surgical eye bag removal using the Clifford Eye Bag Protocol takes about 20 minutes; however, this adds up to an hour after including numbing time.

Secret RF or AGNES RF?

Both Secret RF and AGNES RF are radiofrequency devices used for permanent, non-surgical eye bag removal in Singapore. I offer both devices in my clinic, and to this day use both for various reasons. 

AGNES RF is an earlier device, while Secret RF was just recently launched. I find Secret RF being superior to AGNES RF in certain cases, such as very big eye bags.

In some instances, I combine both AGNES RF and Secret RF for even better results.

How does the Clifford Eye Bag Protocol compare to dermal fillers?

While Clifford Eye Bag Protocol targets the structural anatomical changes that causes eye bags, i.e., the prolapsed fat pads and loose lower eyelid skin and tissues – dermal fillers on the other hand simply mask the eye bags by filling up the sunken lower eyelids and hollowness.

To put it in a nutshell, dermal fillers do not effectively remove eye bags the way the Clifford Eye Bag Protocol can.

Another difference is that results with the Clifford Eye Bag Protocol is permanent. Dermal fillers only offer a temporary solution – typically lasting for about a year.

What is aftercare like?

Make sure to avoid alcohol 3 days before and after your treatment. Also avoid swimming for 3 days after the treatment.

And there you have it – a review of the Clifford Eye Bag Protocol; the first of its kind in Singapore. If you are looking for non-surgical eye bag removal in Singapore, without all the complications and costs of going under the knife – try this treatment today!

There is no doubt in my mind that lower eyelid eye bags are a fully treatable problem. Should you have any burning questions, I am here to clear your doubts – so feel free to drop me a message!
