Lately, I've been feeling particularly tired, and the bags under my eyes have been particularly bothersome. Since I've been experiencing these bags, I've often heard people ask, "Are you having trouble sleeping?" and "You look tired." At first, I thought it was just fatigue, but as time went on, the bags got worse and started to resemble dark circles, which started to stress me out.

So today, I'm going to share with you everything from the causes of under-eye bags, to home care and prevention methods, and even dermatological treatments to improve them!

 

1. Causes of sunken under-eye bags

When the area under your eyes looks sunken, it can make you look tired. The causes of this are as follows:

 

1) Aging

First of all, one cause of sunken eyes is aging. Aging has a variety of effects on our bodies, but it can lead to a decrease in overall body fat. This decrease in the amount and elasticity of the fat in the skin around the face can lead to sunken eyes.

 

2) Excessive dieting

Excessive dieting can also cause sunken eyes. It's said that when you diet too hard, the fat under your eyes is lost, which can lead to sunken eyes.

 

3) Anatomical structure

It's said that sunken eyelids can easily develop due to congenital anatomical structures. For example, if the orbital septum is linearly weak or the underlying ligament structure is prone to fat protrusion, the sunken eyelids can be more prominent.

 

4) Lifestyle habits

Lifestyle habits are also said to contribute to the appearance of sunken eyes. Lack of sleep, stress, and the habit of rubbing your eyes can weaken the tissues around the eyes, making them appear sunken.

2. How to manage and prevent under-eye bags

It's also important to take care of and prevent under-eye bags on a regular basis. Here are some tips for preventing them that you can use on a daily basis!

 

1) Use sunscreen

Because UV rays can reduce skin elasticity, it is recommended to thoroughly apply sunscreen when going out and to use items such as hats and parasols that can block sunlight.

2) Moisturizing care

Also, since the skin under the eyes is thinner and more sensitive than other areas, it is said that sufficient moisturizing helps manage sagging under the eyes.

3) Improve lifestyle habits

Maintaining a regular lifestyle can also help prevent under-eye bags. Getting a sufficient amount of sleep, around seven to eight hours, and managing stress are recommended. Gently massaging the area around your eyes can also help.

3. Dermatological treatments to improve under-eye bags

1) Filler

If you're concerned about sunken under-eye bags, you might consider filler treatment. Filler is a treatment that can improve wrinkles and sunken areas on the face.

The Maypure filler event price is 50,000 won per 1cc (based on domestic filler), and if you are a first-time customer, you can receive the treatment for 29,000 won per 1cc (based on domestic filler).

2) Collagen toning

If your skin is sagging and hollows under your eyes are prominent, consider collagen toning, a treatment designed to improve elasticity. Collagen toning stimulates collagen production in the dermis, improving skin elasticity, texture, and pores simultaneously.

Please note that the price for the Maypure Collagen Toning event is 60,000 won per session!

 

3) Density High

Likewise, if you're looking for overall elasticity improvements, you can try the Density High treatment. Density High uses dual high-frequency lifting to stimulate collagen regeneration in the dermis, helping to improve wrinkles, elasticity, skin texture, and contours.

The Maypure Density High event price is 590,000 won for 300 shots, and the first-time visit event price is 450,000 won.

4. Q&A

1) Are under-eye bags and dark circles the same thing?

: Under-eye bags are a condition where the skin or fat layer is actually sunken, and dark circles are a symptom where the area under the eyes appears dark due to skin pigmentation, blood vessels, etc.

 

2) Are there any precautions after under-eye filler treatment?

: Avoid touching or subjecting the filler-treated area to strong stimulation. It's also recommended to avoid saunas, steam rooms, and bathhouses for a week.

 

3) If I leave the under eye bags alone, will they get worse?

: Over time, they can deepen. As collagen and fat layers within the skin continue to decrease, the sunken area can widen, and as elasticity loss accumulates, the shadows become darker.

These days, whenever I look in the mirror, the first thing my eyes look at is the area under my eyes. I used to just ignore it, thinking it was just because I was tired, but I often hear people say that my under-eye area looks slightly sunken and makes me look tired. I think it's really important to take care of and prevent the sunken area from getting worse! If it's so severe that you're worried, it might be a good idea to consult a specialist and get the right treatment for you.
