Dark circles and bags under the eyes
Dark circles and bags under the eyes are common dermatological problems that affect many people and can negatively affect your appearance and self-confidence. Dark circles are caused by a darkening of the area under the lower eyelids. Bags under the eyes, on the other hand, are visible puffiness that can be the result of a build-up of fluid, fat, or subcutaneous tissue around the eyes.
Description of the problem
The causes of dark circles under the eyes can be varied and include reduced production of collagen and elastin in the skin, which leads to it being loose and darkened, and the accumulation of blood or pigment around the eyes. Additionally, in the case of bags under the eyes, there can be sagging of the subcutaneous tissues and fluid retention in the tissues, leading to visible puffiness. In some people, the predisposition to dark circles and bags under the eyes may be hereditary, but factors such as an unhealthy lifestyle, stress, fatigue and poor eating habits can also accelerate their formation.
Treatment
Treatment for dark circles and bags under the eyes usually involves different methods, depending on the cause and severity of the symptoms. In the case of mild dark circles and bags under the eyes, home remedies such as applying cold compresses, creams containing moisturizing and anti-inflammatory ingredients, and proper care of the skin around the eyes can help. Additionally, changing bad habits such as smoking, avoiding excessive alcohol consumption, healthier eating habits, and regular sleep can help reduce the appearance of dark circles and bags under the eyes.
In the case of more severe symptoms or no improvement after using home remedies, it is worth consulting a dermatologist or a specialist in aesthetic medicine, who can recommend more advanced treatments such as laser treatments, mesotherapy, hyaluronic acid fillers, or surgery.
