Introduction
Under normal circumstances, eye massagers can be somewhat effective for under-eye bags. Under-eye bags are caused by various factors such as laxity of the skin around the eyes, weakened eye muscles, and increased fat deposits. Eye massagers help alleviate under-eye bags by promoting lymphatic circulation around the eyes through massage, assisting in the removal of excess fluid and waste. Additionally, eye massagers can also improve blood circulation in the eye area.

Generally, eye massagers can provide some help with under-eye bags, but they cannot completely eliminate them. The detailed explanation is as follows:

Under-eye bags are caused by multiple factors such as loosening of the skin around the eyes, weakened eye muscles, and increased fat deposits. Eye massagers work by stimulating massage to promote lymphatic circulation around the eyes, helping to drain excess fluid and waste, thereby alleviating under-eye bags. Additionally, eye massagers can improve blood circulation in the eye area, enhance skin elasticity, reduce wrinkles, and make the skin around the eyes firmer.

However, it's important to note that eye massagers alone cannot fully resolve under-eye bag issues; they are merely auxiliary tools that help improve the condition of the eye area. To effectively eliminate under-eye bags, a comprehensive approach combining various methods—such as daily skincare and physical treatments—is recommended. If under-eye bags are particularly prominent or caused by genetic factors, more specialized treatments like surgical removal (blepharoplasty) may be necessary. Preoperative evaluations should be conducted to determine surgical suitability, and postoperative care is essential to prevent infection.

Meanwhile, maintaining healthy lifestyle habits—including balanced nutrition and regular exercise—can also contribute to reducing under-eye bags. In daily life, keeping the eye area clean and hygienic is beneficial for overall eye health.
