Do you know which part of our face shows the first sign of ageing? The answer is the area around the eyes. If you’re one of those people who suffer from eye bags or dark circles, you know how frustrating they can be. Not only are they unsightly, but they can also make you look older and more tired than you actually are.
Eye area issues are very common among patients over age 25 and may progress into eye bags or dark eye circles if not treated or when ageing kicks in. Fortunately, there are a number of things you can do to get rid of eye bags and dark circles.
Many people suffer from eye bags and tear troughs. These can be unsightly and make you look tired or even older than you are. Luckily, there are treatments available that can help improve the appearance of these conditions.
Eye bags occur when the fatty tissue around the eyes starts to sag. This can happen for a number of reasons, including age, genetics, and lifestyle choices. Smoking and sun exposure can contribute to the development of eye bags.
Tear troughs are created when the fatty tissue below the eyes starts to sag. This can give the appearance of dark circles under the eyes. Tear troughs can also be caused by age, genetics, and lifestyle choices.
There are many medical treatments for tear trough and eye bag removal, both surgically and non-surgically. However the simplest and most effective way to correct it is by dermal filler dermal filler placement.
Tear trough dermal filler is a type of hyaluronic acid (HA) based dermal filler that can be used to improve the appearance of the tear trough region, which is the area under the eyes. HA is naturally occurring in our body and they are medically safe.
Dermal filler is injected into the tear trough area to plump up the skin and reduce the appearance of shadows. The results are immediate and can last for several months. Dermal filler is a safe and effective way to improve the appearance of your eyes and help you look more rested and refreshed.
HA dermal fillers are an effective treatment option for tear trough and eyebags, as they can help to restore lost volume and improve the appearance of the area. HA fillers are made from hyaluronic acid, a substance that is naturally found in the skin. This means that HA fillers are well-tolerated by the body and offer a safe and effective way to improve the appearance of the tear trough area.
HA fillers can help to correct tear trough and eyebags by filling in the hollows under the eyes. This can help to restore a more youthful appearance to the area and can also help to reduce the appearance of dark circles. HA fillers can also help to improve the skin’s texture and tone, as well as to hydrate the skin.
The tear trough dermal filler procedure is fairly simple and quick. Firstly a proper consultation and facial assessment are done to address the issue and determine the type of tear trough deformity. Topical numbing cream will be applied for 20 minutes. Dermal filler is then precisely placed over the sunken area under the eyes to replenish the volume loss.
After the procedure, you may experience some temporary side effects such as bruising, swelling, or redness. These should resolve within a few days. You will likely see an immediate improvement in the appearance of your tear troughs, which will continue to improve over the next few weeks as the filler settles into place.
A tear trough dermal filler procedure usually takes place within 30 minutes. However, the amount of time required may vary depending on the individual’s needs and desired results. During the procedure, a small amount of dermal filler is injected into the tear trough area. This helps to improve the appearance of dark circles and hollows under the eyes.
You can see immediate improvement after tear trough dermal filler. The result is visible instantly and will improve further for the next 2 weeks due to water attraction of the HA dermal filler to give you a better result.
The results for tear trough dermal filler can last between 9-12 months in general. However, it also depends on the product used, the area being treated, and how much was injected in the first place.
Exactly how long the dermal fillers will last also heavily depends on the metabolism, lifestyle and diet of the individual too.
Like any other injection treatments, the side effects includes mild redness, swelling and needle marks, which are common and will subside within 24 hours. Bruising may sometimes occur and cold compress will dissolve it quicker. You may return to normal activities immediately after the procedure with no associated downtime.
Some rare side effects are bluish discolouration under the eyes, lumpiness, infection and over filling of dermal filler.
It is best to avoid alcohol and exercise for 2-3 days after the treatments, this is to reduce the risk of swelling or bruising. Avoid deep massage to the treated under eye area so that the fillers do not move.
Dark eye circles or ‘Panda eyes’ are very common among Singaporeans and is one of the top reasons for an aesthetic clinic visit to remove those stubborn and hyper pigmented lesions around the eyes.
Dark eye circles are a common cosmetic concern. They refer to the dark patches that can form around your eyes. These circles are usually more noticeable when you’re tired or stressed. They can also be made worse by certain medical conditions, such as allergies and sinus infections.
In most cases, dark eye circles are harmless and don’t require treatment. However, some people find them to be cosmetically displeasing. If you’re unhappy with the way they look, there are several things you can do to minimise their appearance.
There are a few different ways that dark eye circles can form. One way is when the blood vessels under the eyes become dilated and more visible. This can be due to a number of reasons, including lack of sleep, allergies, and even genetics.
Another way dark eye circles can form is when there is a buildup of pigments in the skin. This can be caused by sun exposure, ageing, or even certain medications.
Finally, dark eye circles can also form when the fat pads under the eyes become more pronounced. This is often due to weight gain or loss, and can also be a result of aging. Regardless of how they form, dark eye circles can be a nuisance.
Luckily, there are a few different ways to get rid of them.
There are many possible causes of dark eye circles, including genetics, allergies, and lack of sleep. Often, the cause is simply a matter of appearance and not a sign of a serious underlying health condition. However, if dark eye circles are accompanied by other symptoms, such as pain or swelling, it is important to see a doctor to rule out any potentially serious causes. Some of the most common causes of dark eye circles include:
Allergies: Allergic reactions can cause the blood vessels to dilate, which can lead to dark circles under the eyes. Allergies can also cause inflammation and puffiness in the area around the eyes.
Lack of sleep: Not getting enough sleep can cause the skin under the eyes to appear darker and more sunken in.
Genetics: Dark eye circles can be hereditary, so if your parents or grandparents had them, you may be more likely to have them as well.
Dehydration: When the body is dehydrated, the skin can appear more sunken in and darker, especially under the eyes.
Sun exposure: Sun exposure can cause the skin to thin and become less elastic, which can make dark circles more visible.
Get enough sleep: This is probably the most important tip when it comes to preventing dark eye circles. When you don’t get enough sleep, your body doesn’t have time to properly recover and repair itself, which can lead to all sorts of issues – including dark eye circles.
Drink plenty of water: Staying hydrated is important for overall health, and it can also help prevent dark eye circles. When your body is properly hydrated, the skin around your eyes is less likely to become dry and irritated – which can lead to the formation of dark circles.
Limit your salt intake: Too much salt can cause fluid retention, which can in turn lead to dark eye circles. Try to limit your salt intake and eat more foods that are rich in potassium, such as bananas, sweet potatoes, and leafy greens.
Avoid rubbing your eyes: Rubbing your eyes can irritate the delicate skin around them and make dark circles worse. If you must rub your eyes, be sure to use a gentle, circular motion – and avoid rubbing too hard.
Following these simple tips can help you prevent dark eye circles from forming – and keep your eyes looking bright and refreshed.
While there are a number of commercial products available that claim to help reduce the appearance of dark circles, some people prefer to use natural home remedies. Here are some DIY home remedies that you can try to get rid of dark circles:
Sleep: Getting enough sleep is one of the most important things you can do to reduce dark circles. Shoot for 7-8 hours per night.
Cucumber slices: Cucumbers have astringent and anti-inflammatory properties that can help reduce puffiness and irritation around the eyes. Simply place a few slices of cucumber on your eyes for 10-15 minutes.
Tea bags: Both black and green tea contain tannins that can help constrict blood vessels and reduce swelling. Place a used tea bag on each eye for 5-10 minutes.
Cold compress: A cold compress can help shrink blood vessels and reduce inflammation. Simply wrap a few ice cubes in a clean cloth and place it over your eyes for 5-10 minutes.
Almond oil: Almond oil is rich in vitamin E, which can help improve the appearance of dark circles. Simply massage a few drops of almond oil around your eyes before going to bed.
Coconut oil: Coconut oil is a natural moisturiser that can help hydrate the skin around the eyes. Simply massage a few drops of coconut oil around your eyes before going to bed.
Rose water: Rose water has anti-inflammatory properties that can help reduce the appearance of dark circles. Simply soak a cotton ball in rose water and place it over your eyes for 5-10 minutes.
Use concealer: If you have dark eye circles that are particularly stubborn, you can use concealer to help camouflage them. Be sure to choose a concealer that’s a few shades lighter than your skin tone.
There are a number of non-invasive treatments available for those who suffer from dark eye circles. These include:
Topical bleaching agents (hydroquinone, kojic acid, azelaic acid, glycolic acid). Topical bleaching agents are another common treatment for eye bags and dark circles. These agents work to lighten the skin under the eyes, making the darkness less visible.
These are just a few of the available treatments for eye bags and dark eye circles. If you are concerned about the appearance of your eyes, be sure to talk to your doctor or dermatologist to find out which treatment is right for you.
