Introduction

Whether dark circles under the eyes fade after眼袋 removal mainly depends on the underlying causes and the treatment method used. If the causes of the眼袋 and dark circles are the same, and light therapy is used, the dark circles may become lighter. However, if the causes differ or if眼袋 removal is performed surgically, the dark circles may remain unchanged. Therefore, it is recommended to choose an appropriate treatment based on individual circumstances and severity.

Generally, whether dark circles will fade after under-eye bag removal mainly depends on the method used. If laser treatment is chosen, the dark circles may become lighter. However, if surgery is selected, the dark circles may not fade. Detailed analysis is as follows:

Under-eye bags are mainly formed due to the accumulation of tissues around the eyes, usually related to fat accumulation and loosening of the periorbital muscles. The formation of dark circles involves multiple factors such as heredity, pigmentation, and poor blood circulation. These factors cause the color of blood vessels beneath the skin around the eyes to become visible or increase pigmentation, resulting in dark circles. If laser treatment is chosen for under-eye bag removal, the laser energy can reach the deep layers of the skin and break down accumulated melanin, thus helping to fade dark circles simultaneously. The general reference price for laser under-eye bag removal is 2000-3000 yuan per session, and improvement is usually noticeable within 2-3 weeks after the procedure, although symptoms such as localized redness and pain may occur.

If surgical removal of under-eye bags is chosen and proper post-operative care is not performed, dark circles may not improve and could even worsen due to factors such as thinning of the skin and impaired blood circulation caused by the surgery.

It should be noted that when under-eye bags are accompanied by dark circles, it is recommended to choose an appropriate treatment method based on individual conditions and severity. Additionally, to ensure safety, it is advised to undergo treatment at a reputable hospital to avoid unexpected complications.
