Under-eye bags are mainly caused by aging of the eye skin, muscle laxity, and fat accumulation. There are various methods available for reducing under-eye bags, and the choice can be made according to individual circumstances.

Maintaining good lifestyle habits serves as the foundation, including adequate sleep, a balanced diet, and moderate exercise, which can help prevent the formation of under-eye bags or alleviate existing ones. Using eye creams or eye masks with de-puffing, firming, and moisturizing effects, as well as applying makeup techniques such as concealers and camouflage creams, can also improve the appearance of under-eye bags to some extent.

Laser treatment uses laser energy to stimulate collagen regeneration, tighten the skin, and reduce under-eye bags. Radiofrequency skin tightening heats the deep layers of the skin tissue using radiofrequency energy, promoting collagen remodeling and improving skin laxity.

The internal incision blepharoplasty is suitable for cases where fat protrusion causes under-eye bags but the skin elasticity is still relatively good. This procedure removes excess fat through a small incision inside the conjunctiva, leaving no visible scars. The external incision blepharoplasty is appropriate for cases with severe skin laxity, where excess skin and fat are removed through an incision made just below the lower eyelid lashes.

It is recommended to consult with a qualified physician and undergo a thorough evaluation before deciding on the most suitable treatment plan.
