7 ways to end bags under your eyes

To eliminate the bags that form under the eyes, there are aesthetic procedures, such as fractional laser or pulsed light, but in the most severe cases it is possible to remove them completely with plastic surgery. There are also treatments to soften the bags, with creams, moisturizers, firming or makeup.

Generally, the bags are formed by an accumulation of fat on the lower eyelids. As the eye is inserted into a bone cavity, it is covered with fat for protection, and in some people, this fat is also located in front of the eyes, forming the uncomfortable bags that are visible.

Generally, the pouch under the eyes is caused by genetic causes, however, they may be more apparent in some cases, especially after a night of poor sleep, due to fluid retention or due to sagging and aging skin. Check out other causes of eye puffiness.

The main treatment options for the bag under the eyes are:

1. Intense pulsed light

Intense pulsed light is a photo rejuvenation treatment that uses pulses of light directed at areas of the skin in order to correct imperfections. The light used is converted into heat on the skin, which promotes the smoothing of marks, blemishes and imperfections, helping to disguise the affected area.

In addition, this treatment helps to improve the circulation of blood vessels in the region, reducing swelling, and to give more firmness to the skin below the eyes. Check out other benefits of pulsed light.

2. Chemical peel

The chemical peel is done with the application of acids that remove the outer layers of the skin, which helps to reduce the sagging of the skin around the eyes, in addition to reducing the dark spots of dark circles. Thus, this procedure can soften the appearance of the bags, and can be useful in lighter cases.
