Eye bag treatment
Eye bag treatment is a set of methods used to reduce and eliminate the symptoms of eye bags. This cosmetic problem is rarely a sign of a more serious disease, but before it is proceeded to treatment, any medical issue should be ruled out. Eye bags are characterized by swelling under the eyes, and they are sometimes accompanied by dark circles around the eyes.
Puffy eyes
Puffy eyes, especially in combination with by dark circles can be an aesthetic problem and can cause significant distress. Eye bags are the consequence of ageing, as the skin loses elasticity and it starts to sag. This effect can additionally make a person look older. Eye bag treatment can significantly improve the situation.
Eye bags are a natural consequence of aging. As the skin ages, the muscles that support the eyelids weaken and lead to wrinkles and loose skin. Besides that, fatty tissue around the eyes (orbital fat) that serve as cushioning, tend to move and cause the puffy eyes effect.
- Fluid retention because of salt overconsumption;
- Allergies can cause capillary leaks and lead to swelling;
- Thyroid gland issues such as hyperthyroidism and hypothyroidism;
- Skin disorders such as dermatitis;
- Alcohol and tobacco use can impact hormonal change, which leads to swelling.
Other causes
Fatigue and sleep deprivation can also cause puffy eyes as well as dark circles. The skin around the eyes is particularly thin, approximately 0.5mm. Blood vessels are easily visible, so when dilated those blood vessels lead to dark circles. They can be hereditary, as well as caused by some medical conditions. But they are also the consequence of aging, because losing collagen makes the skin more transparent. Both eye bags and dark circles are mainly cosmetic issues and can lead to appearance concerns and distress.
