The difference between eye bags and dark circles lies in the causes, symptoms and treatment.
1. Causes: Eye bags are mainly caused by heredity, trauma, ageing and overwork. Dark circles are mainly caused by increased skin pigmentation, deepening of facial grooves, and thinning of the skin on the lower lids.
2. Symptoms: The main manifestation of eye bags is that the skin of the lower eyelid is bloated, bulging and sagging, accompanied by the phenomenon of skin laxity, and there may also be the case of lower eyelid ectropion. Dark circles are mainly characterized by gray or brown skin at the orbital rim or prominent blue blood vessels, which are more obvious on the inner side of the lower eyelid and may be accompanied by redness, swelling, itching and other phenomena.
3. Treatment: Eye bags can be treated by surgical excision, liposuction removal, ultrasound removal and so on. Dark circles under the eyes can be treated by peeling laser, filler injections and so on.
It should be noted that sometimes the 2 conditions can occur at the same time. If you want to know the difference between eye bags and dark circles, it is recommended to go to a regular hospital for examination, so as to determine whether it is eye bags or dark circles.
