Have you ever wished you knew the cause of puffy eyes or a way to eliminate the bags under your eyes? Although they may be unsightly, bags under the eyes typically do not pose any health or vision risks, which is excellent news. However, both short-term and long-term remedies exist for under-eye puffiness. Here, we will talk about the causes of Under-eye bags (ถุง ใต้ ตา, which is the term in Thai). And solutions to them.
Why Do Some People Get Under-Eye Bags?
Puffy eyes can occur for a variety of reasons, such as:
High-Salt Diet:
Swelling and water retention are symptoms of a salty diet.
Allergies:
Allergies that cause inflammation and congestion can worsen under-eye puffiness.
Medical Conditions:
Red, puffy eyes can indicate a more severe health issue, like a thyroid problem.
Genetics:
There may be a hereditary component to having under-eye bags.
Natural Ageing Process:
As everyone ages, the skin and muscles lose some of their firmness.
Solutions For Under-Eye Bags
Different methods reduce under-eye puffiness depending on the cause. Fluid under the eyes can cause puffy lower lids. However, home remedies can temporarily reduce swelling. Due to the ineffectiveness of over-the-counter and home medications, under-eye bags often require medical treatment.
Home Remedies For Puffy Eyes
These easy solutions might work if you sometimes find your eyelids puffy when you wake up. They help alleviate swelling until it goes down independently during the day.
Cold Compresses
By lowering blood flow, cooling the area reduces swelling and inflammation. Put anything cold on your eyes for a few minutes while your eyes are closed. This could be an ice pack, a bag of frozen veggies, slices of cucumber, or even spoons straight from the fridge.
Hemorrhoid Creams
Under their eyes, some people apply over-the-counter haemorrhoid creams—phenylephrine and other product ingredients work by constricting blood vessels, which in turn reduces swelling. However, please exercise caution when using these products, as they irritate this delicate area.
Methods For Treating Under-Eye Bags Medically
Consider these medical treatments if you’re sick of dealing with dark circles under your eyes. These non-surgical procedures diminish bags under the eyes:
Filler
The under-eye area and cheek meet in this treatment to create a smooth transition by placing a filler material (typically hyaluronic acid, a jelly-like substance). Patients usually undergo a local anaesthetic injection while visiting their doctor’s office. See results for six to twelve months.
Laser Resurfacing
The under-eye area can have its sagging skin smoothed out and its wrinkles reduced with this laser treatment, promoting new collagen production. The results can last for years, depending on your skin type and how much sun exposure you get.
Conclusion
A delicate region of the face is the area around the eyes. Incorrect execution of procedures can lead to severe consequences. Locating a board-certified plastic surgeon with extensive expertise in eyelid surgery is of the utmost importance.
