What Are Eye Bags?
Sagging bags under your eyes and dark circles can give you a constantly tired appearance. While some under-eye puffiness is temporary, you may notice your eye bags staying longer and looking more prominent as you age. These eye bags are due to sagging skin and weakened muscles.
Thankfully, there are some quick and easy solutions to treating under-eye bags that will reduce their puffiness and restore natural color.
As you age, you will see an increased puffiness under your eyes. This swelling is called eye bags. Additionally, your eyes naturally have fat around the sockets. This fat holds your eyes in place. However, your muscles begin to weaken, and your skin begins to sag as you age. Eventually, the muscle and skin struggle to keep the fat in place, causing a sag with a bulge from the underlying fat layer. This is a natural part of aging but can be more prominent in those with a genetic predisposition to eye bags.
Other factors can also contribute to your eye bags including thinning skin, increased fluid retention, and irritants.
Types of Eye Bags
Eye Puffiness
Your under-eye will become puffy when exposed to contaminants. Allergies are one common cause of under-eye puffiness. This puffiness can occur at any age and goes away within a few days.
Eye Sagging
When your skin loses its elasticity, and the muscles weaken, the skin under your eyes will begin to sag. You may have eye bags due to age if you notice this extra droop with or without swelling. These eye bags do not go away without treatment.
Eye Bags vs. Dark Circles
Eye bags often come with dark circles, but they're different conditions. Dark circle is a term for the darker pigmentation under your eyes. If you have dark circles due to sleep deprivation, it may be due to shadows from your heavy eyes. As you age, you'll see more permanent dark circles as the skin thins and your blood vessels become more prominent. Eye bags refer to swelling.
What Causes Eye Bags?
Are eye bags genetic? Yes, many people's eye bags result from genetics, so there's not much you can do naturally to prevent or treat them. Hereditary eye bags require professional treatment to help them appear less noticeable.
Other common causes of eye bags include:
- Lack of Sleep
- Illnesses and Allergies
- Salty Food
- Face Contaminants
- Poor Skin Habits
How to Reduce Bags Under Eyes
There are several ways for how to get rid of bags under your eyes. You can reduce the appearance of under-eye bags as you age by caring for your health and skin. Some of the most effective ways include:
- Eating a healthy diet with vitamins and proteins that strengthen your skin and muscles.
- Regularly exercising to keep a good blood flow in your skin and muscles.
- Getting a good night's sleep to reduce morning eye puffiness.
- Take medications to reduce allergy and cold symptoms.

- Place a cold compress under your eye to reduce swelling.
- Avoid salt.

Nonsurgical Eye Bag Removal Treatments in Vancouver
Plasma Pen
The plasma pen for eye bag treatment is a noninvasive device that heats the skin and cells underneath. It stimulates collagen production to restore your skin's elasticity and heal most skin conditions. The plasma pen will tighten the skin under your eye to reduce sagging, which makes your eye bags more prominent. Collagen production works over time for a longer-lasting effect.
Morpheus8
Morpheus8 eye bag treatment uses microneedling and radiofrequency waves to target and heal aging skin. The microneedling creates channels that allow the radiofrequency waves to travel deeper into the skin under your eyes. The radiofrequency waves warm the tissue around your eye bags, stimulating collagen production. The collagen renews your skin and adds elasticity to reduce sagging.
Thread Lift
A thread lift for eye bag treatment is an alternative to plastic surgery for lifting sagging skin and creating a smoother appearance. This noninvasive option for eye bag removal uses thin threads in your skin to add support. The threads help hold the skin around your eyes in place to reduce the appearance of eye bags.
Botox, Dysport, and Xeomin
Botox, Dysport, and Xeomin are neurotoxins that help your muscles around the eyes relax. As you age, your muscles struggle to relax on their own, causing creasing and wrinkles. Crow's feet and other eye wrinkles contribute to the appearance of eye bags. Using neurotoxins for eye bag treatment targets those muscles around the eyes, allowing your skin to fall more naturally. This reduces the appearance of swelling and sagging under your eyes.
Products
Regularly using products on your face can help limit the signs of aging and improve your skin's health. If you want to reduce the appearance of bags under the eye, you will want to ensure you have moisturizers in your daily care routine. Moisturizers will help your skin retain its natural elasticity to avoid sagging with age.
Some other products to use in your eye care routine include:
- ZO Growth Factor Eye Serum: The serum cools any puffiness under the eye while refreshing the area for a brighter appearance.
- SkinCeuticals A.G.E Eye Complex: This eye cream targets the main aging factors to reduce puffiness and dark circles while increasing your skin's firmness and elasticity.
- SkinMedica TNS Eye Repair: The eye cream rejuvenates the skin, helping it stay firmer. It also reduces the appearance of dark circles under the eye.
