Introduction
Under normal circumstances, carrots cannot effectively remove under-eye bags. Under-eye bags are primarily caused by a combination of factors, including fat accumulation in the orbital septum, relaxation of the orbicularis oculi muscle, and loose skin. Carrots are simply a type of food that contains abundant nutrients such as vitamin A and beta-carotene, which can be beneficial to eye health and may help alleviate eye fatigue to some extent.
Generally speaking, carrots cannot actually remove eye bags. The detailed explanation is as follows:
Eye bags are mainly caused by multiple factors including fat accumulation in the orbital septum, relaxation of the orbicularis oculi muscle, and loose skin. Carrots are merely a type of food that contains abundant vitamin A, carotene, and other nutrients, which offer certain benefits for eye health—for example, they can help alleviate visual fatigue to some extent—but they cannot fundamentally address the issues of fat accumulation and skin laxity in the under-eye area, thus they are not effective for removing eye bags.
If removal of eye bags is desired, laser treatment for eye bag removal can be performed under a physician's guidance. This procedure uses the thermal and light effects of laser to precisely target the fatty and skin tissues in the eye bag area, causing the fat cells to rupture and liquefy while also promoting skin tightening, thereby eliminating eye bags and improving the condition of periorbital skin laxity. The typical reference price for laser eye bag removal is 3000–8000 yuan per session, and improvements are generally noticeable 1–3 months after the procedure. However, possible postoperative symptoms may include localized swelling and bruising. After surgery, it is important to maintain eye cleanliness to avoid infection. Adequate rest should be taken, eye strain should be avoided, excessive熬夜 should be minimized, and sufficient sleep should be ensured.
