[MERGED] Eyebags

[Mavi]

Ok, here goes...

what causes the dark circles under the eyes? Lately, i'v e been staying up late...and whoa...major raccoon eyes. I recently had my photo taken for my passport and everyone had smirky comments about them.

will they ever go away or am i forever doomed to be frankenstein's bride?

[Ira]

Dark circles a can occur due to fatigue, allergies, overexposure to the sun, hyperpigmentation (usually familial, especially in Meditteranean families), menstruation or pregnancy.

What you're seeing isn't really darkened skin, but rather engorged blood vessels under your eyes. Because the skin under your eyes is thinner than skin anywhere else on your body, blood vessels there are more noticeable, especially if you're fair-skinned (which you are, Mavi!).

If you want to try to minimize dark circles, you might apply a cold compress. Close your eyes and cover them with a cold washcloth for about five minutes. That will help constrict your blood vessels, minimizing darkness and it may help to minimize tissue swelling and eliminate some of the darkness. There's a special concealer that they sell in La Botica in Rustan's, especially made for dark circles. It looks like a light green lipstick. You might want to try that out, too. As for being a Frankenstein's bride lookalike...I really doubt that! Di ba, nix? :)

[Ira]

Teka...if you're Frankenstein's bride, um, ano si nix? LOL

[CaRaMBa]

LOL, oo nga naman Mavi. Hala nix, you have a new nick, "Frankenstein". ;)

[???§ÎNNëÐ???]

ayon sa men's health, hilamos ng malamig na tubig sa umaga kung saan ang konsentrasyon eh sa mga mata mo ay makakatulong upang sumigla ang mga mata at mawala ang pagiging pluffy nito.

Matacious.

[Mavi]

uh oh. hope nix doesn't look in here! (asa pa!) thanks for the help! Rustan's is finally open here in Alabang! I'll drop by and check out La Botica.

nix, hello!

[BadGiRL]

mavi: u can always use face powder....
use clarins...the best...ganda ng bagsak ng powder sa face mo...tapos sobrang minimize ang mga black rings sa eyes mo...i should know....hehehehehe...my friends think that i have such beautiful skin considering i sleep for only 3 hrs...d lang nila alam...pag wala yung clarins...mukha akong multo.....dahil sa sobrang puyat ko...super dark na ng rings under my eyes..... :)

just tot i'd share....

[Ada]

FrankeNix? ;)

[Mikki]

Siguro naman nde serious to pero bakit paggising ko sa umaga ay laging pugto ang mata ko? Wala pa nga akong 20 pero may eyebags na. Nawawala naman sa tanghali.
Ano kaya ito? Anong dapat kung gawin para di na ito bumalik?

[Reflection]

Mikki: Hi! Welcome to PEx (ako bago din dito).

My non-medical suggestions: sleep with your head higher (2 pillows), cut down on salt and MSG because they can cause fluid retention, and use a cold pack on your eyes for 10 minutes after you wake up.

Mikki,

Welcome din to PEx.

Anong kalseng bags ba yan? Gucci o LV?
Tignan ko nga at baka maibenta natin.
O di tutubo pa tayo. 50/50 ang kita, ha?
...or is that 20/20 for the eyes.

Kung hindi mo gets, dyok onli ito.
Huwag ka sanang magagalit. Seriously,
yung sinabi ni Reflection ay magandang
payo. Subukan mo.

[Ira]

Welcome to Pinoy Exchange, guys. We hope we'll see a lot of your posts in the days to come.

Eyebags are caused by congestion of the blood vessels beneath the eyelids. Short of plastic surgery, there's really not much you can do to permanently remove them. However, you can make it less congested by what Reflection nicely suggested (they work). If you don't want to make a mess by placing ice on your eye area, you can also buy eye packs in Le Drug in Rustan's-- they look like eye masks. It's made of plastic, with blue or green liquid in them. All you have to do is stuff them in the fridge and just put them over your eyes when you need to.

[Mikki]

Reflections, Clone, Ira thank you sa welcome at mga payo. Susubukan ko to. Ilang araw ko ba kailangang gawin yung cold eye pack at yung pagiwas sa maalat?

Maraming salamat ulit sa inyong lahat.

[Mikki]

Ibig ko lang ipaalam sa mga nagpayo sa akin na malaki ang tulong ng cold pack at ng dalawang unan. Hindi na masyadong namumugto ang mata ko sa umaga. Thank you sa inyong lahat.

Me itatanong pa sana ako pero ito'y para sa tiyo ko. Kasi nagbuhat siya ng mabigat at sumakit ang baywang nung isang linggo pa. Ngayon ay namamanhid daw ang isa niyang paa kung naglalakad. Delikado ba ito? Ano ba ang pwede niyang gawin para gumaling? Thank you ulit.

[Ira]

Uh-oh mikki, sounds like your uncle has something I see every single day! If he has numbness of the legs (and probably toes), he might have a slipped lumbar disc brought about by lifting heavy objects. Tell your uncle to see a neurosurgeon-- an MRI of the lumbosacral spine is in order. And tell him to take painkillers like Orudis or Flanax forte to help tide the pain temporarily.

[babes]

what about dark circles under the eyes
it seems that no matter how long/early i sleep it doesn't disappear

i didn't always have this though, i started getting it when i was around 16, now i'm 24
is there anyway i can get rid of this?

[Ira]

babes, Please check the "forgive my vanity" thread started by mavi. Just change your preferences to "Show topics from the last 45 days".

[Ira]

No problem, mikki. Glad to help.

Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is a type of imaging similar to x-rays, but this one uses magnetic energy instead of radiation. It's the best type of imaging to use to view the vertebral bodies and spinal cord. It's a little expensive, around PhP8,000-11,000, depending on which hospital you have it done. You undergo this procedure on an outpatient basis, so no need to get admitted to a hospital. It's not painful, although some claustrophobics may require sedation, because you are put in a sort of cavelike hole for 45 minutes. Tell your uncle to go to a neurosurgeon first; the doctor will be the one to request for an MRI.

Lumbar disc herniations/slipped discs are frequently caused by lifting heavy objects. Pag mali ang bending position mo habang nagbubuhat ka, the exerted effort/pressure causes your nucleus pulposus (the soft part in between the lumbar discs) to get pushed out and extruded posteriorly to the spinal canal. It then pushes against the nerve roots (and occassionally, the spinal cord), causing symptoms like low back pain, numbness and weakness.

[Mikki]

Thank you Dra. Sinabi ko ke Tito Oscar yung payo nyo. Sabihin ko daw sa inyo na nagpapasalamat din siya.
Ano po ba yung MRI? Masakit ba yun? Mahal ba magpa MRI? Tsaka bakit po nadudulas yung lumbar disc? Naku pasensya na kayo kung marami kaming tanong. Pero maraming salamat po sa inyong mga tulong.

[clone]

Ira: Very clear and concise explanation. Thank you for enlightening the rest of us on-lookers also.

There are so many misconceptions regarding back injuries and how to treat them. Even I am learning from your answer, to be stored in my mind for future reference. I just hope I don't have to use it personally.

BTW, do all disc herniations/slipped discs need an operation?

[Tezz]

Home remedy.. i fyou have a cucumber in the fridge; cut a piece and place it on top of your eyes.. that is if you are on the couch, (semi-fowlers) relaxing . :)

[Mikki]

Salamat sa paliwanag nyo Dra. Grabe pala yung slipped disc. Sinulat ko nga para ipakita ke Tito Oscar mamaya.

Tezz salamat din sa payo mo. Ano nga pala yung semi-flowers relaxing? Sorry ha nde ko kse alam yan.

[Ira]

clone: Not all herniations need to be operated on. The ones that probably need to go under the knife are the ones who are already experiencing neurologic symptoms like numbness, electric-like shooting pains, and weakness. However, these are still not absolute indications for surgery. We have to correlate the signs and symptoms first with the MRI results, and even then, physical therapy and back muscle strengthening exercises with analgesics come first--unless the spinal cord is already getting significantly pinched. Surgery is the "final frontier" :D if exercises and analgesics don't help.

[clone]

Thank you, Ira. One other question if you don't mind. I heard about steroid injection into the spine for people with real bad back pain. How effective is this?

BTW are we getting off-topic here since we are no longer dealing with eyebags? I can open a new topic on backs if you prefer. Very fascinating lang kasi itong subject para sa akin.

[Tezz]

Mikki... it's not semi-flowers..it's semi- fowlers position..meaning you are in inclined position, with the upper half of the body raised by elevating the head of the bed approximately 30 degrees; while you are relaxing... that's what I meant.. :)

[wAgKaNgMaKuLiT]

Tezz, effective ba talaga yun cucumber? a friend told me mahapdi daw di naman effective.....

....o baka mali lang yun procedure niya...


;)

[Tezz]

WagKang... is your friend a she? if she is, did she removed her makeup first before she did that? i wonder if she have her eyes open.
Remember, we are talking about eyebags. :)

[lestat]

Epektib siguro yang cucumber kung di masyadong malala. Eh kung galaki ng bulsa yang eyebag mo, ipa-surgically remove mo na lang. Yan ay payo ko lang naman.

how bout dark circles under the eyes,how can this be removed?

[Ira]

pajamas and babes, you can read the replies posted in mavi's thread, "forgive my vanity". The link is http://www.pinoyexchange.com/forums/showthread.php3?threadid=21872 .

[acridmouth]

How do you get rid of eyebags???????

One more thing: Is it okay if you sleep late at night, but wake up late din? I mean, for example kahit late ka ng natulog, pero bumawi ka naman kasi 10 hours ang tulog mo. What does really count: the hours of one's sleep, or kung anong oras siya natulog? HEck, I don't know if I'm making sense here. Basta all I wanna get rid of ----eyebags!!! =(

[Ira]

Eyebags are worsened by lack of sleep, smoking, allergies, rubbing, mineral deficiency, the most frequent causes. You can minimize the dark circles which make it look worse by washing your face with cold water in the morning. Try out suggestions mentioned in this link:

http://www.pinoyexchange.com/forums/showthread.php3?threadid=21872 .

Otherwise, if you really have eyebags a la Sharon Cuneta during her childhood days, the only way to make it disappear is to undergo blepharoplasty, which removes the excess skin.


As for sleep, I was taught in school that as long as you get the requisite number of hours' sleep, then it's okay. But BU will certainly know more about this. :)

[Buffy^]

Hey, what is clarins??? I need help on this kac isa ako sa mga me problem sa eyebags... at ques, pano ba ako bibili ng concealer??? basta punta lang ba ako sa la botica and ill just say, do u have a concealer?? understood na ba yun for d eyes? thanks.

[LeeYahGrl]

I saw this product at Beauty Bar in Glorietta. I forgot what's it called but it's specifically for eyebags. Its around P525 bucks...

Its a patch that you put under your eye and it reduces the dark circles, and even makes the wrinkles disappear! Haven't tried it yet. It's so expensive! P525 for 10 patches...?!

If you guys try it out... let me know...

[rors]

how about pipino (cucumber), effective be yon? :D

[Ira]

Cucumbers are for eye puffiness. Undereye puffiness is caused by water retention in the fat and muscle around the eye. The cooling effects of cucumbers, eye creams and tea bags can reduce this puffiness, but only for 1-2 hours before the water returns.

[close_2d_eDge29]

How?

[Ira]

If you don't mean occasional dark circles under the eyes, it's only thru surgery.

[tokfu]

matulog ka ng maaga ;)

[Guile]

ano best solution doon?

[Ira]

Blepharoplasty (surgery).

[Guile]

I'm specifically referring to those dark aread under your eyes (which seems to be related to eye bags), not really the eye bags per se.

[Cherie]

belo medical group. located at the medical plaza bldg (back of medical city)

[Ira]

You might want to try putting ice packs and Hirudoid cream (yup, Hirudoid) 1x a day to shrink the vessels underneath your eyes -- these may help a bit, but there is really no throughly effective medication right now to help shrink those other than surgery.

[evil_fish]

:( i have all these anomalies in my face. I don't normally care about these when i was younger but now that my GF seems to be bothered by it, i am at loss for a solution. I just want to know if there is a way for me to improve my appearance. She said it makes me look too old (i'm only 25) and hagard looking. I completely agree with her :~( Is there a cure for eyebags and deep dark lines? What kind of doctor should i seek? I've tried the cucumber and tea bag approach but it was only a temporary fix. I want something that can last all throughout. I hope that surgery wont be an option..im too broke for that. :D :D

[evil_fish]

Oh yeah i forgot. I dunno if there was a similar thread existing. Ive open up to the tenth page but can't find any. Thnks for the help

[Ira]

The only solutions are temporary. If you want a more permanent one, you'll have to see a plastic/reconstructive surgeon or an ophthalmologist specializing in plastic surgery of the eye.

[Tagedy]

It's a common belief that insufficient sleep gives you eye-bags because of the poor blood circulation. If that is the case then the eye-bags i have right now is due to the lack of sleep I've been getting lately for the past months... Sometimes I've even go 24 hours without sleeping...

My questions are: since its not genetic could i get rid of my eye-bags by sleeping more often? Using a cold cucumber or tea bags will accelerate the speed to get rid of eye-bags? Is this all temporary treatment and surgery is the only permanent way to remove eye-bags or dark circles around my eyes?

[eyedoc]

Getting enough rest would lessen engorgement of the vessels under your eyes, making them less dark in appearance.

Cold cucumber or tea bags are temporary treatments.

[fishballs_88]

are these HIRUDOID cream available at the Mercury Drugstore? tnx

[CoolCucumber]

Yes.


:rpflag:

[fishballs_88]

effective ba talaga yung paglagay ng cucumber sa mata, parang yung ginagawa sa SPA's? thanks

[caryatid_kitten]

Maybe I should be posting this on the beauty thread instead of this health thread...But I'd like to ask the docs the BEST way to eliminate eyebags and undereye circles. I get enough sleep, YET is still have those horrible-horrible dark undereye circles. Same with the eyebags (which are minimized by placing cooled chamomile teabags, thank goodness!) I'm not up to wearing concealer everyday...I miss my eyes when I was younger :(( hay naku...
What causes eyebags and undereye circles ba talaga? Actually, when I was in my teens (not too long ago, I'm in my early 20's pa lang, mind you!) mern na din me prob na ganun, pero not as bad as now :(
Thanks docs...I hope you can help me in my "kikay" concern! hehehe

hi. try Cernor eye cream. used by many artistas. P3000. pm me if you're interested.

[tenchu2006]

Aside from sleeping early (which is totally hard for me, being a designer) and cucmber as mentioned above (which doesn't work), is there anything *cheap* that can remove the circles?

[goldmine]

thanx sterling... san ba nakakabili ng cernor eye cream?

[chrisboy]

i have had the same problem in the past month or so. try to cut back on smoking (if you do), and get enough sleep (8 hours is always best). i've read up on these too, and found out that these might me some of the culprits. the results might not be instant, but worth it, so be patient. i have yet to try the cucumber thing...

[orionspear]

weird ng eyebags ko.. lumabas siya nung time na hindi na ako nagpupuyat.. tapos, what makes it even weirder is that hindi siya nag-appear sa may side ng eye na malapit sa nose.. dun sa other side pa.. napagkakamalan tuloy akong nagme-make-up.. plus, pangit tignan sa mga pics..

anyone here who can tell what's wrong with me?

[angel_11]

me rin malaki eyebags. di naman ako nagpupuyat. wala rin akong vices...

[dunamis]

ako nga mas malaki na ata ang eyebags ko sa mata ko (exagrted na)..quarterm kasi sa amin, so i ges my ideya na kayo kung bakit...eh paano nga ba male-lessen ang dark eye bags? bukod sa sapat na tulog (na mukhang imposible sa akin), wala na bang ibang paraan? bakit sabi nila dapat daw hanggat maaga eh mag-invest na sa eye cream? anong cream naman kaya yun at pam-paano?

[bee_tin]

i think genes could be partly blamed for this...hehe..i too have this problem...so far, since i couldn't get myself to sleep early and to sleep for 8 hrs., i've invested in an eye cream and in a concealer...

in other forums, i've read that you should really try to sleep 8 hrs or at least your full sleep, drink lots of water, and cut back on vices..hehehe...hope that would help..

dark circles?

i put pond's whitening liquid (read: Not the Cream. sakit nun pag pumunta sa mata), twice a day

so far ok naman, it helped make the dark shade significantly lighter. :hmm:

:hippie:

[reydat]

Could I ask you guys 2 questions to test my hunch on eyebags?

Question 1: Have you ever experienced excessive sneezing in the morning or unusually frequent 'baradong ilong'?

My hunch: The dark circles around the eyes are related to congestion caused by allergic rhinitis.

Question 2: Nakadapa ka ba matulog o nakahiga?

Hunch: The dark circles are related to position... nakadapa making you prone to develop the dark circles.

Cheers!

Hi! You can try neostrata bionic eye cream. It is a very good product for dark undereye circles, for puffiness and for fine lines and wrinkles. You can ask your dermatologist about it. It is made in USA and is only half the price of what you have posted in this thread.:)

[The Professor]

Hi.

Is there a way to get rid of this? How?

Thanks.

[Dr.Richie]

There are creams and there are surgical ways (laser or cold steel). I can hook you up with Ophthalmic plastic surgeons or dermatologists if you want.

[dunamis]

If you want to try to minimize dark circles, you might apply a cold compress. Close your eyes and cover them with a cold washcloth for about five minutes. That will help constrict your blood vessels, minimizing darkness and it may help to minimize tissue swelling and eliminate some of the darkness. :)

how often should you do this?

[easy_going]

How about dark skin spots under my eyes? How can i remove them?

i have used whitening/lightening cream but doesn't seem to work.

[andie_07]

if you have it surgically removed ba, anong klase ng scar yung naiiwan? will it be visible if tinitigan siya?

[square_pants]

Peri-orbital darkening can have many causes: prior irritation and subsequent pigmentation, genetic predisposition (i.e. heredity), defective blood flow and drainage, and several internal medical problems. So, treatment may be effective for some and not at all for others. A visit to your dermatologist can help you decide which products are best. Generally, an eye cream containing Vitamin K may help the pigmentation especially when it's caused by poor circulation around the eye area.

As for the eyebags, blepharoplasty or eyelid surgery is considered by most as the "gold standard" with minimal complications and downtime in the hands of expert cosmetic surgeons. Some eye creams may help tighten the area and may improve mild eyebags. Mesotherapy may also improve it and is done by injecting medications that dissolve fat into the lower eyelids. However, it's not yet commonly done here but is big in Brazil where they do it left and right.

^ Hi. Just merged this thread. Please backread and look for the replies of Skin Doc, eyedoc and dr. Ira.

[jda2881]

I'm no expert on this but I wan't to share. Two major reasons ng eyebags, stress and genetics.
Stress- Pag hindi ka nkkuha ng enough rest and sleep it will show the eyebags mo, in cases like this maybe all you really need is regular and healthy sleeping habits. Samahan mo na rin ng good diet and exercise you will eventually look refreshed from head to toe.
Genetics- Minsan nasa lahi talaga yung malaking eyebags. Inspect mo kamag anak mo if feature ba yan sa lahi.. Then AGING is also the cause of having larger eyebags. When you get older your eyebags get more visible ksi the skin on your eyes begin to be thinner.
The creams will help you improve the appearance of your eyebags. Mawawala ng konti or temporarily yung puffiness. But if you want a more drastic approach pumunta ka sa cosmetic surgeon. Wala naman scar kasi sa loob yung stitches. Minsan they will use laser to melt the fat or baka may tatanggalin silang excess skin. Tapos you will look youthful again. hopefully.
If wala ka namang budget for sugery, try the most trusted cucumber. Yung ibang cold spoon left on the ref for a while. Tapos ilalagay sa mata. This is helpful pag kulang sa tulog or bagong iyak.
One tip I gathered is you sleep with your head elevated from the rest of your body. Take an extra pillow. This will prevent daw yung fliud from accumulating around the eye area. Tapos be sure matutulog ka. hehe
Good luck!

[Rharzkie]

hello!
Thanks for all the info na sinulat niyo dito sa forum.
Isa rin kasi sa health problem ko yung eyebags ko. Since highschool pa lang ako, may eyebags na ako. Madalas kasi ako mapuyat, minsan dahil sa insomia, hindi rin ako makatulog minsan pag maliwanag, at saka madali ako magising konting ingay lang. Ngayon, kailangan ko palagi gumising ng maaga dahil may pasok. Kaya ang laki talaga ng eyebags ko. Ang ginagawa ko na nga lang, lagay na lang ako ng concealer para matakpan pero minsan kita pa rin.
Thanks sa mga info, try ko nga maglagay ng cold coth or cucumber, baka sakaling mawala.
Ask ko lang po, possible pa rin ba lumiit yan at matanggal naturally kapag nakabawi nako ng tulog?

[Dr.Richie]

@Rharzkie

depends on how much of it is due to lack of sleep to begin with...

Madami na akong cream na nagamit sa under-eye ko, so far isa pa lang yung effective yung sa Avon although wala ng ganun kasi last two years pa yun pero effective talaga. Tapos gumamit din ako ng St. Ives eye stress gel, hindi effective. Then yung sa nivea naman, hindi din gaano ka effective.

May nakita ako kanina sa watsons, another eye cream. Pero hindi ko binili....


Tapos meron ako nabasa sa magazine yung Lancome Blanc Expert NeuroWhite Advanced Whitening Anti-Dark Circles Eye Treatment, grabeh ang mahal 3995 Php almost 4k na din! I'm planning to buy it, pero gusto ko malaman if it's worth it. Meron na ba nakagamit nito? Nabibili siya sa rustan's makati, shangri-la at alabang.

ok ba iyong VMV glykeros eye and lip lift para pantanggal ng dark cirles? Nakita ko lang sa mall kaya lang medyo mahal (1500).

eto info galing sa net:
IMPORTANT: Start using 2x-a-week. Very slowly, increase application frequency to 3x-a-week, then 1x-every-other-day, and finally to 2x-a-day usage.

Do not rush: This slow, gradual increase in application frequency lets your skin best adjust to, and fully benefit from, Glykeros therapy. Follow all instructions carefully.

Throughout Glykeros Therapy: use an Armada Sun and Light Screen every day, whether indoors and outdoors, and whether or not this Serum has been applied on a given day.

Ingredients:

Active Ingredients: Glycolic Acid – 0.30%, Kinetin – 0.01%, Propylene Glycol, Ruscus Aculeatus Root Extract, Centella Asiatica Extract, Panthenol, Calendula Officinalis Flower Extract, Hydrolyzed Yeast Protein, Aesculus Hippocastanum (Horse Chestnut) Extract, Ammonium Glycyrrhizate – 3%

Other Ingredients: Soy Protein Phthalate, Water, Cetearyl Alcohol, Glyceryl Stearate, Cyclopentasiloxane, Ceteareth-25, Hydrolyzed Elastin, Glyceryl Laurate, Dicaprylyl Carbonate, C12-15 Alkyl Lactate, Triethanolamine, Carbomer 940, Tetrasodium EDTA, Citric Acid, Tocopheryl Acetate.

base dun sa info, wala naman kayang masamang effect ito sa skin. thanks. tska bakit kaya kelangan pa gumamit nung sun and light screen every day. ?

Di ba, meron sa mga derma clinic / facial care clinic ng eyebag treatment. Effective kaya yun? Hindi ba yun nakakasama sa atin yun?

[The Professor]

What are the other creams/gels I can use to reduce the puffiness and darkness under the eyes? Which are the effective ones?

So far I've read the following:

1) HIRUDOID cream
2) Loreal Hydrafresh
3) Pond's whitening liquid
4) St. Ives Eye and Face Gel

Thank you very much.
