But what causes them, and what treatments are readily available for me when finding solutions for visible eye bags?
What causes eye bags?
In most situations, eye bags are caused by several factors, including aging, allergies, genetics, and lifestyle choices. As we age, the skin around our eyes becomes thinner and loses elasticity, leading to puffiness and sagging. Allergies also can cause inflammation and unwanted swelling in the eye area. Genetics plays a unique role in determining the shape and structure of our face, including the appearance of eye bags. Certain lifestyle habits, like lack of sleep, excessive consumption of alcohol, and smoking cigarettes, can also contribute to the development of eye bags.
Why are some solutions for treating eye bags?
Dr. Muniandi Velayuthan and his team may suggest some of the following options for addressing the appearance of dark and puffy under-eye bags:
- Topical creams and serums. These products usually contain ingredients, including caffeine, retinol, and vitamin C, that can help reduce swelling and improve the overall appearance of dark circles. It is important to carefully read product labels and consult a dermatologist before using them.
- Eye massages. Gentle massaging techniques around the eye area can help improve blood circulation and reduce puffiness. However, it is important to be cautious when performing this technique as the skin around the eyes is delicate.
- Dermal fillers. Injecting hyaluronic acid fillers into the under-eye area can help plump up hollowed-out areas and reduce the appearance of bags. This procedure should only be performed by a trained and experienced medical professional with LCP from Ministry of Health
- Chemical peels. Chemical peels are skin treatments in which the skin is treated with a chemical solution to exfoliate and enhance its general appearance. Peels containing ingredients like glycolic acid can reduce the look of dark circles under the eyes.
- Laser treatments. Laser therapy is often used to rejuvenate the delicate skin around the eyes, reducing pigmentation and improving texture. This procedure should only be performed by a licensed and experienced doctor.
