Eyes Bag

Eyes bag for a number of different reasons, which can range from the more serious (illness or disease) to the simple (lack of sleep). In between, there are numerous other causes, such as too much salt in the diet leading to fluid retention, food or environmental allergies and aging. When looking to treat this problem it is important to first identify the cause and then seek out the most suitable treatment.

If the eye bag due to aging, there are a number of options. A good amount of topical beauty creams are available on the market, most of which will tighten the skin around the area, reducing visible fat cells beneath the surface. Some creams may actually work to help drain the area of excess fluid, again reducing puffiness and smoothing the surface.

If the eyes bag more often first thing in the morning, it is likely due to fluid pooling in the area overnight, in which case it is helpful to reduce liquid intake later in the day, and sleep slightly at an upright angle. Another reason eyes bag more prominently in the morning may be due to a feather allergy, in which case the most obvious solution is simply to switch to a foam or hypoallergenic pillow.

A good number of people are also now considering eye surgery as a way of permanently reducing bags and puffiness, even though it can be a costly process. If blepharoplasty is not an option, a good alternative may be to opt for a procedure that dissolves fat in the area that the eyes bag, or even use a ‘filler’ to make the skin seem more even in appearance.

Whichever procedure or treatment is chosen, the prospective consumer should always consult with a G.P. beforehand in order to have the problem properly diagnosed and be advised on the best course of action.
