So how do you treat dark eye bags?

Dark circles

1. Reasons:

Dark circles under the eyes are a common problem that makes people look tired and listless. Many people want to get rid of them as soon as possible. But why do dark circles appear under the eyes? How to prevent and treat dark circles?

According to a report by doctors in Loon, France in 1992, the causes of dark circles under the eyes include the following:

(i) Increased eyelid pigmentation due to congenital or acquired factors;

(ii) Eyelids become loose due to aging, and the skin becomes wrinkled, causing the skin tone to darken;

(iii) The appearance of eye sockets causes shadows;

(iv) The inner and lower sides of the eye sockets are sunken to form the tear groove (naso-jugal groove) and thus form a shadow;

(V) Stagnation of blood flow in the eyelid veins causes the skin and eyes to darken.

These reasons may occur in combination in some people.

The treatment of dark circles must be different according to its cause.

Traditionally, chemical peels or depigmenting ointments are used to treat dark circles caused by congenital eyelid pigmentation, but the effects are not very obvious. However, in recent years, with the help of laser medical technology, the use of Q-switch spot removal lasers, ruby ​​lasers, etc. have been able to effectively remove these annoying dark circles. According to a report by American Dr. Rowe in 1995, two treatments can improve the condition by 50%. However, about one-third of people will experience temporary darkening of pigmentation after laser treatment. However, as long as you avoid sunlight exposure and apply sunscreen (sun protection factor greater than 15), this temporary darkening of skin pigmentation will gradually fade and the dark circles will fade four to eight weeks after laser treatment. As for the darkening of eyelid pigmentation caused by acquired skin diseases such as allergies, sign dermatitis, etc., it will generally disappear naturally within a year after the lesions are removed.

If the pseudo-pigmentation of the skin is caused by sagging eyelids due to aging, eyelid plastic surgery is required to remove excess skin, which will improve the feeling of dark circles. In addition, due to genetics, many young people have obvious eye bags in their twenties, which also causes the appearance of dark circles. In this case, it is necessary to consider removing excess fat in the lower eyelid through conjunctival incision, so that the eye bags disappear and the dark circles naturally disappear.
