WHAT CAUSES EYEBAGS?
Eyebags are mostly cosmetic issues and can be rectified with the appropriate dark circles treatment options. They are usually caused by extra fluid accumulating in that area, resulting in your lower eyelids looking swollen and puffy, thereby creating a pouch. Shadows or discoloured skin under the eyes will make the eyebags even more obvious.
Lower collagen levels cause your skin and muscles to sag. It is very noticeable around the eye area because your skin is very thin there. You may consider consulting a specialist in Singapore for dark circles treatment options to minimise this issue so that it is less obvious.
Eyebags can also be caused by a lack of sleep, as insufficient rest tends to increase the retention of fluid and blood around the eyes, causing your eyelids to look swollen and puffy. You may want to consult a sleep therapist if you are having difficulty falling asleep at night. Meanwhile, you can consider dark eye circles removal treatment so that your eyelids do not appear so puffy.
OTHER FACTORS THAT CAUSE EYEBAGS
Ageing is also one of the most common causes of bags under the eyes. As you age, you will experience a loss of fat padding and collagen. This causes the skin tissues surrounding your eyes to weaken, including some of the muscles supporting your eyelids.
Fat that helps support your eyes can move into your lower eyelids, causing them to appear swollen. Additionally, the space below your eye may accumulate fluid, resulting in the area looking puffy. Fortunately, most of these issues can be rectified with the appropriate dark circles treatment options.
There are many other factors that can contribute to eyebags. They include
- Allergies
- Fluid retention, especially after a salty meal or upon waking up
- Genetics
- Lack of sleep
- Medical conditions such as dermatitis, renal disease, and thyroid eye disease
- Smoking
- Stress
Thankfully, eyebags are rarely a sign of a serious medical condition and are generally a cosmetic issue. There are various dark eye circles removal treatments and remedies available in Singapore to address this cosmetic concern. You may wish to consult a specialist, especially if you experience persistent or bothersome under-eye puffiness. Your doctor can take a look at your condition and recommend suitable dark circles treatment options to reduce or eliminate your eyebags.
DARK EYE CIRCLES REMOVAL: WHAT ARE THE TREATMENT OPTIONS?
If you seek a more permanent solution to reduce the appearance of dark circles, we recommend consulting a specialist. A specialist will diagnose the cause of the dark circles under your eyes before recommending the appropriate dark circles treatment options. Their recommendation might include the following.
1. Skin-lightening cream
Your doctor may prescribe a skin-lightening cream containing azelaic acid, glycolic acid, hydroquinone, and kojic acid to help lighten your under-eye hyperpigmentation. Such dark eye circles removal cream products are usually available over the counter and are convenient remedies you can try at home.
2. Laser therapy
Laser treatments target the darker pigment under your eyes, utilising heat energy to vaporise the damaged skin cells. This helps improve your overall skin tone and brighten your skin. Specific laser therapies, like our Fotona 6D laser treatment, can stimulate new collagen formation, thereby enhancing tightness and elasticity in the treated tissue.
3. Fillers
Hyaluronic acid-based dermal fillers are among the most popular dark circles treatment options in Singapore. Under the close eye of an experienced aesthetician, the filler is injected into the tissue under your eyes. This helps combat volume loss under the eyes, which is responsible for causing dark circles, thereby reducing your eyebags.
