Treatable Conditions > Baggy Eyelids

In our earlier years, the skin under the eyes is flat and has a naturally gentle, tense muscle tone. Age as well as other uncontrollable factors can cause muscles and skin to sag and fat to bulge out as a result. The most common names for the protrusion called blepharochalasis are under eye bag and baggy eyelid, this is a normal state caused by aging.

Some other causes:

Over-exposure to the sun

Sleep deficiency

Allergies and/or allergic reactions

Inflammation

Unhealthy weight

There is a layer of fat that surrounds and protects the eyes. The eyelid muscles in the face and skin keep this retro-orbital fat tense and this brings a younger look beginning at the eyelashes to the cheek area. Both gravity and passage of time make everyone's face begin to age and sag.

Bags appear under the eye because of pressure from the weight of lax muscles, ligaments that don't hold, and sagging skin walls. Baggy eyelids are sometimes caused by the accumulationg of extra fat behind the support wall. Sometimes eye bags are caused by relaxed extra skin that needs to be tightened. Sometimes, it is also simply the result of thickened eye lid muscles. Bags on the upper eyelids can actually be the result of drooping eye brows.

MicroLaser Peel, SkinTyte Light Therapy, CoolTouch/Therascan Laser, and sophisticated pharmaceutical cosmetics, are some of measures used by Aestheticare to effectively remedy this problem.
