What should I do about loose eyelid skin?

Loose eyelid skin can be improved through various methods.

1. If the laxity is mild, it can be alleviated through daily skincare routines. For example, using eye creams with firming effects and combining them with proper massage techniques can promote blood circulation around the eyes and enhance skin absorption. Maintaining a regular sleep schedule, ensuring sufficient rest, and avoiding late nights are also important, as lack of sleep accelerates skin aging and sagging.

2. For more noticeable eyelid skin laxity, medical aesthetic treatments may be necessary. Common surgical options include blepharoplasty, which removes excess skin and fat to reshape the eyelids. Non-surgical approaches such as laser therapy and radiofrequency skin tightening can also stimulate collagen production, improving skin elasticity and firmness.

3. Protecting the eyes from sun exposure, avoiding prolonged eye strain, and minimizing bad habits like eye rubbing can also help delay the progression of eyelid skin laxity.

If symptoms worsen, prompt medical consultation is recommended.
