Can eye bags be treated with acupuncture?

Acupuncture can also eliminate bags under the eyes. Acupuncture treatment can promote local blood circulation, improve dark circles, and has a certain therapeutic effect on bags under the eyes caused by poor blood circulation. However, acupuncture treatment does not have a very obvious therapeutic effect. If your eye bags are too obvious, you can choose to go to the hospital for surgical treatment. Before acupuncture, you can first do local hot compress and massage, and then use acupuncture treatment. You should have good eye habits in your daily life, pay attention to adequate sleep, and don't look at your phone or computer often. Generally, you should relax your eyes for a while every hour. You can look at more green plants or do some eye exercises appropriately. For stubborn or congenital eye bags, acupuncture alone is not enough. In this case, surgery or liposuction is required to eliminate the eye bags.

Can eye bags be removed by massage?

We can also use massage techniques to eliminate eye bags. There are many different massage techniques. I believe that if you understand and persist in massage, the skin around your eyes will become tighter. 1. Patting and lifting method: This method uses gentle patting and lifting to eliminate eye bags. We need to use the middle finger and ring finger to move from the inside of the lower eyelid to the outside of the lower eyelid and close to the temple. The whole process requires patting and appropriate lifting to relieve eye fatigue. It needs to be repeated three times.

2. Brow bone translation method: As the name suggests, the brow bone translation method focuses on the brow bone, because the brow bone is where most of the nerves in our head converge. Massaging the brow bone can soothe the upper eyelid nerves and thus relieve eye fatigue. We need to use our middle finger and ring finger. Separate the two fingers, place the middle finger at the corner of the eyebrow, and the ring finger at the end of the eyebrow. Move the ring finger from the inside to the outside along the brow bone, then merge the ring finger and middle finger, and pull them towards the temple. Repeat this technique three times.

3. V-shaped lifting method: This method mainly relies on a lifting technique to lift the eyelids. As long as we persist, we can improve the skin around the eyes and make the skin around the eyes tighter. When we pull the eyelids, we need to use our index finger and middle finger to form a V shape, place them on the inner eyelid, and maintain the V shape and pull towards the outer temple. This needs to be repeated three times.

Acupuncture and moxibustion for eye bags

In addition to surgical and drug treatments to remove eye bags, acupuncture, which combines traditional Chinese medicine with modern electronic science, also has varying degrees of efficacy in treating various eye bags. Traditional Chinese medicine divides eye bags into two types: congenital and acquired. The congenital type is hereditary, while the acquired type is due to long-term adverse stimulation of the eyelid skin, such as improper massage, frequent tears, frequent eyeliner drawing, etc., which eventually leads to loosening and atrophy of the eyelid skin. The treatment method is: turn on the power and acupuncture the corresponding acupoints such as Taiyang, Yuyao and Ashi points. The electric current will cause the eyelid muscles to contract and twitch significantly, accelerating the decomposition of local fat and tightening the loose eyelids. Traditional Chinese medicine also believes that the formation of eye bags is directly related to the spleen and stomach functions of the human body, especially the good or bad spleen function, which directly affects muscle function and the metabolism of body fat. From the actual anatomy of meridians and acupoints, the location where eye bags are produced happens to be the starting point of the Stomach Meridian of Foot-Yangming. Therefore, activating the Stomach Meridian acupoints, giving benign stimulation to the Stomach Meridian, and improving the spleen and stomach functions are of practical significance for the treatment of eye bags.

Can eye bags be removed twice?

Eye bag removal surgery can be done a second time. If the patient feels that the effect of the surgery does not meet his or her ideal effect, the skin of the lower eyelid becomes loose again, or the orbital fat bulges, he or she can go to the hospital for a second eye bag removal surgery. However, the specific time of the second operation needs to be determined based on the time of the previous operation, because it is necessary to wait until the effect of the previous operation is stable before the second operation can be performed, which generally takes more than three months. In addition, after the operation, patients should pay attention to preventing infection, paying attention to local disinfection and cleaning, using their eyes properly, and paying attention to rest.
