Eye Bag
Causes
What causes eye bags? Bags under eyes are mild swelling or puffiness under the eye. The tissue structures and muscles supporting your eyelids weaken as you age. The skin may start to sag and fat that is normally confined to the area around the eye can move into area below the eyes.
One may ask the doctor: “What are the treatments or how to remove eye bags?” The fact is, removing the fats under the eye poses more long-term side effects that are detrimental to the face structure.
Treatment
Treatments are based on the individual condition and severity of the eye bags. One of the best eye bag removal procedures is with Hyaluronic acid injection that helps to puff up the dents under the eye. There are several eye bag removal treatments that we provide in Clique® Clinic according to its severity. For mild conditions, the Twilight PRP Gel offers the regenerative properties of PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) which are rich in growth factors to improve circulation, restructure dermis, thicken epidermis and act as a cushion to pull in all the necessary cells to create collagen and elastin (for elasticity). For medium to severe cases, it is recommended to combine your own platelets using PRP with Hyaluronic Acid. It is a remedial treatment that creates a natural scaffold to support facial structure and tissues that has lost volume or elasticity along the way. Types of treatment
- PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma)
- Belotero® (Hyaluronic Acid)
Dark Eye Circle
If you get plenty of sleep and still have dark circles under your eyes, that’s not unusual. Fatigue isn’t the only reason for dark circle under your eyes. What appear to be dark circles under your eyes are sometimes just shadows cast by puffy eyelids or hollows under your eyes that develop as a normal part of aging.
- Fatigue
- Pigmentation irregularities, a particular concern for people of colour especially Asians
- Rubbing or scratching your eyes
- Sun exposure, which prompts your body to produce more melanin – the pigment that gives skin its colour
- Thinning skin and loss of fat and collagen, which is common as you age. It makes the reddish-blue blood vessels under your eyes more obvious.
It is a common mistake to use dark circle eye cream and dark eye circle serum to treat your dark eye circles. These products are used for prevention and post-treatment care.
There are several ways to get rid of dark circles below or around the eyes. Every treatment would depend on the causes of your dark eye circles.
