It is recommended to apply ice packs for about 10 minutes to reduce under-eye bags, and it's generally advised to continue this for three consecutive days. Prolonged icing may cause local skin sensitivity and reduce effectiveness. When under-eye bags are prominent, it's important to get adequate rest and sufficient sleep in daily life, avoid staying up late, and gently massage eye acupoints to promote blood circulation around the eyes, thereby helping alleviate under-eye bag symptoms.
