The best methods to treat eye bags vary depending on the cause and severity.
For mild cases caused by lack of sleep or fluid retention, cold compresses can be effective. Using a cold spoon or a cold gel eye mask and placing it on the eyes for about 10 - 15 minutes can help reduce swelling and temporarily tighten the skin around the eyes.
Topical creams containing ingredients like retinol and caffeine can also be beneficial. Retinol can boost collagen production, and caffeine can constrict blood vessels and reduce puffiness.
In more severe cases, surgical options such as blepharoplasty are considered the most effective. This surgical procedure removes excess fat, skin, and muscle around the eyes to give a more youthful appearance. However, it has risks and requires a professional surgeon and proper post - operative care.
