The fact that the skin under the eyes is slightly more swollen (bags) or has a darker shade (dark circles) is one of the most important aesthetic concerns among women and men, showing a more tired and aged appearance.
Why do bags and dark circles under the eyes occur?
The most common causes of bags and dark circles under the eyes are:
- Inadequate diet and toxins. Abusing salt and processed foods; drinking little water; abusing tobacco, alcohol or drugs, are habits that are quickly reflected in the skin.
- Lack of rest. Restful sleep is one of the main anti-aging agents.
- Certain diseases. Pathologies such as hypothyroidism or kidney failure can cause eye bags.
How can bags and dark circles under the eyes be corrected?
Currently there are many measures to treat dark circles and bags, and they can be divided according to the progression in their application:
- Initial measures. Using suitable cosmetic products recommended by skin specialists is the first step. Home tricks can also be used, such as applying chamomile sachets or homemade herbal masks. Improving hydration, nutrition and the use of sunglasses can make an important contribution to preventing the eyes from aging.
- Intermediate measures. There are a number of treatment measures halfway between topical applications and surgery. Botox, lipofilling with autologous fat, carboxytherapy, peelings and regenerative laser are some valid examples.
- Blepharoplasty as a shock treatment. This is by far the most commonly used Plastic and Aesthetic Surgery technique to correct the eyelids. It is applied to eliminate bags and excess skin in both upper and lower eyelids, thus minimizing the signs of aging.
