What is the best and most effective method for removing under-eye bags?
Generally speaking, there is no definitive answer as to which method is the best and most effective for removing eye bags. Eye bags may be caused by factors such as prolonged熬夜 (staying up late), improper diet, excessive eye use, glomerulonephritis, or hypothyroidism. Treatments such as transconjunctival blepharoplasty, fat removal via liposuction, laser therapy, or medication may be used under a physician's guidance. It is recommended to visit a reputable hospital and undergo these procedures under medical supervision to ensure effectiveness and safety. Detailed explanations are as follows:
1. Prolonged熬夜 (staying up late)
Long-term熬夜 (staying up late) can lead to insufficient sleep, affecting normal eye rest and possibly causing poor blood circulation, resulting in eye bags. It is recommended to maintain a regular sleep schedule and avoid长期熬夜 (prolonged staying up late). Under a physician's guidance, transconjunctival blepharoplasty may also be used. This procedure involves making an incision in the conjunctiva to remove central and medial fat pads, thereby reducing pressure from fat on the lower eyelid skin to eliminate eye bags. The general reference cost for transconjunctival blepharoplasty is 5000-10000 yuan per session, with visible improvement typically seen in 2-4 weeks. However, complications such as infection, bleeding, or eyelid ectropion may occur.
2. Improper diet
Excessive salt intake over a long period can cause fluid retention, leading to periorbital edema and eye bags. A balanced diet and reduced salt intake are recommended. Eyelid liposuction may also be performed under medical advice, involving an incision in the lower eyelid to remove excess orbital fat to eliminate eye bags. The general reference cost for eyelid liposuction is 2000-3000 yuan per session, with visible improvement generally seen within 3-7 days. However, adverse effects such as infection or bleeding may occur.
3. Excessive eye use
Extended use of electronic devices, reading, or writing may affect ocular blood circulation and metabolism, leading to eye bags. It is recommended to relieve eye fatigue through activities such as looking into the distance, closing the eyes to rest, or performing eye exercises, and to avoid prolonged continuous eye use. Laser therapy may be considered under a physician's recommendation, using the photothermal effect of the laser on the inner tarsal plate to contract the dermal tissue and stimulate collagen regeneration, thereby reducing eye bags. The general reference cost for laser therapy is 3000-9000 yuan per session, with visible improvement typically seen after 1-2 months. However, side effects such as pigmentation or skin sensitivity may occur.
4. Glomerulonephritis
Glomerulonephritis is primarily associated with genetic factors, pathogen infection, and abnormal immune function. Kidney dysfunction may impair excretory function, causing fluid retention in the body and resulting in eye bags. Symptoms such as edema and pain may accompany this condition. Treatment under medical supervision may include medications such as Nephritis Recovery Tablets, Nitrendipine Tablets, or Compound Captopril Tablets.
5. Hypothyroidism
A decrease in thyroid hormone synthesis or secretion may lead to hypothyroidism, slowing metabolism and affecting ocular blood circulation, thus causing the aforementioned symptoms. Symptoms such as dry skin and fatigue may also occur. Treatment under medical guidance may include medications such as Levothyroxine Sodium Tablets, Propranolol Hydrochloride Tablets, or Methimazole Tablets.
Maintaining good eye hygiene, avoiding prolonged eye use, and allowing appropriate rest and relaxation of the eyes are beneficial for ocular health.
