Bags under the eyes may be the result of several factors such as stress and limited sleep. This condition is considered a cosmetic concern among men and women alike. Genetics may also play a role in eye bags, leading some to wonder how to get rid of them for good. There are several treatments that you can do at home or have done at your dermatologist or plastic surgeon's office that will eliminate these unsightly bags.
Step 1
Apply a cold compress to your eyes once a day for up to 15 minutes. This constricts the pores and shrinks the under eye bags.
Step 2
Get 8 to 10 hours of sleep per night. Adequate rest will help reduce eye fatigue and swelling of the skin and tissue surrounding the eyes.
Step 3
Drink eight glasses of water per day. This will flush out your system and remove excess fluid that may be the cause of your bags.
Step 4
Opt for a chemical peel or laser resurfacing. Both methods are done in a medical office setting and are designed to constrict blood vessels and reduce swelling using chemical or laser therapies.
Step 5
Visit your optometrist for an eye exam. Poor eyesight may lead to eye fatigue and under eye bags. Once your eyesight is corrected through glasses, contact lenses or laser surgery your eyes will no longer be overworked. This will eliminate bags and dark circles once the eyes are properly rested.
Step 6
Have an eye lift surgery. This surgery is performed by a licensed plastic surgeon. The plastic surgeon makes a small incision along the natural line of the lower lid and separates the skin. He then removes excess fat deposits and trims extra skin. Once this is finished, he sutures the incision together, leaving the skin tighter and smoother.
