How To Get Rid Of Bags Under Eyes

We all know life gets stressful from time to time. While this doesn’t always affect us visibly, sometimes you can start to have physical symptoms of these stresses. Things change–maybe you got a new job (or your current job is stressful), you need to pack up your belongings and move, or you’re dealing with an emotionally charged situation. These can all impact your physical appearance over time–especially in places with thinner, more delicate skin, like under the eyes.

Age is also a big contributor to bags under your eyes. Some people even have genes that make them more likely to develop deposits under their eyes, leading to noticeable puffiness, sagging skin, or bags.

If you see the start of the dark circles under your eyes, it can be difficult to reverse them, especially if you don’t/can’t address the cause of your under-eye bags. Dealing with the root problem can help in cases where stress or lack of sleep may cause your under-eye bags. However,  correcting your sleep may not be enough to reverse the effects on the delicate skin below your eyes. So, what can you do to get rid of under-eye bags?

At-Home Treatments For Bags Under Eyes

Before heading in for a cosmetic treatment, you’ll likely search for some at-home remedies. There are many tips on the internet for getting rid of under-eye bags. Are they all successful? Probably not, but it’s worth a shot to see if something works for you. Here are some common suggestions for treating under-eye bags at home.

• Get 7 to 8 hours of sleep each night
• Use a cold washcloth or compress to decrease swelling under your eyes
• Prop your head up while you sleep
• Try allergy medication to control seasonal flare-ups
• Give up smoking
• Limit your alcohol intake
• Eat a variety of healthy food
• Reduce the amount of sodium in your diet
• Use an eye cream with retinol

 Non-Invasive Cosmetic Treatments For Bags Under Your Eyes

Look into cosmetic solutions if at-home remedies aren’t doing it for you. Start with non-invasive treatments like:

• Chemical peels to rejuvenate skin
• Dermal fillers to add volume and decrease hollows below the eyes
• Botox to eliminate wrinkles around the eyes
• PRP (platelet-rich plasma) therapy to promote collagen and new cell formation
• Microneedling to stimulate new skin growth

How Lower Blepharoplasty Corrects Under-Eye Bags

Consider lower blepharoplasty if at-home remedies and non-invasive cosmetic treatments haven’t improved your under-eye bags. This surgery will remove the bags beneath your eyes and provide a more permanent solution than some non-invasive treatments.

Lower blepharoplasty removes under-eye bags, fat deposits, and wrinkled skin below the eyes. With a short procedure, you can see brightened, youthful eyes that can last many years.

How To Correct Bags Under Your Eyes

Trying so many at-home and cosmetic treatments for under-eye bags with only slight improvement can be frustrating. Fortunately, lower blepharoplasty can produce the results you want. After a quick procedure and a few weeks to recover, you can officially say goodbye to your under-eye bags.
