Non-Surgical Eye Bag Removal in Singapore: An Alternative To Eye Bag Surgery
Eye bags refer to the puffiness or swelling that occurs under the eyes, which can create a tired, aged appearance. Eye bags can be caused by a variety of factors, including genetics, ageing, and lifestyle habits such as lack of sleep, stress, and poor diet.
There are several treatments available to reduce the appearance of eye bags. Non-surgical options include lifestyle changes, such as getting enough sleep, reducing salt intake, quitting smoking, and drinking plenty of water. Home remedies like cold compresses and cucumber slices can also help reduce puffiness and inflammation.
For mild to moderate eye bags, non-surgical options such as dermal fillers, chemical peels, and laser resurfacing can help improve the appearance of eye bags.
However, for severe or persistent eye bags, surgical options like blepharoplasty may be necessary to remove excess skin and fat from the eyelids.
Common Causes of Eye Bags
While eye bags can sometimes be a symptom of an underlying medical condition, they are generally not a cause for concern.
In fact, eye bags are generally a cosmetic concern for most people as they tend to become visible as early as in our 30s. Here are some of the most common causes:
INTRINSIC AGEING As we age, the skin around the eyes becomes thinner and loses elasticity, making it more susceptible to sagging and puffiness.
GENETICS Eye bags can be hereditary, meaning that if one or both of your parents have them, you may be more likely to develop them as well.
SLEEP DEPRIVATION Sleep deprivation: Lack of sleep can cause fluid to accumulate under the eyes, resulting in puffiness and bags.
HORMONAL CHANGES Changes in hormone levels can also lead to fluid retention and puffiness around the eyes.
SUN EXPOSURE Overexposure to the sun can cause the skin to lose elasticity and lead to the development of eye bags.

Contrary to popular belief, aegyo sal is not eye bag. Aegyo sal is a small piece of fatty tissue that sits right under the lower eyelids. We often see aegyo sal in younger children and they seem to disappear when they reach adulthood. Many people like the appearance of aegyo sal because it gives them a youthful appearance. On the other hand, eye bags are formed because the muscles that support the eyelids weaken and the fatty tissues under the eyes are displaced and move into the lower eyelids. The formation of eye bags often make people look tired and unattractive.
