Dark Eye Bags: The Solution That Isn’t Surgery
Dark eye bags can make you look old and tired even if you’re young and well-rested. What’s even more frustrating is that this doesn’t seem to go away despite your efforts: eye creams, additional sleep, collagen eye masks–nothing seems to work! Is plastic surgery the only hope left?
Luckily, the answer is ‘no.’ With the development of the Plasma Pen, there is now an effective, non-invasive treatment to get rid of those dark bags under your eyes. And that’s not all these pens are capable of helping you with, either.
Today, we will go over everything you need to know about using a Plasma Pen for under-eye bags and two other unsightly skin issues–wrinkles and crow’s feet. First things first, though, let’s look at what causes these three bothersome conditions.
What Causes Eye Bags, Wrinkles, & Crow’s Feet?
The skin around our eyes is more delicate than the rest of our face, which is why we tend to show signs of aging there first. But there are a lot of factors that come into play when it comes to the development of eye bags, wrinkles, and crow’s feet. Here are the most common ones:
Aging
As we age, our skin loses collagen and elastin, which leads to wrinkles, fine lines, eye bags, and sagging skin. This process can be reversed by stimulating the skin to produce more collagen.
Genetics
Your genes can affect your skin quality and how fast you show signs of aging. This, in turn, can influence whether you are more at risk of developing eye bags, wrinkles, and/or crow’s feet–and how quickly. So, if your parents appear to age slowly and gracefully, it is likely that you will also experience delayed signs of aging, and vice versa.
Facial Expressions
Repeated facial expressions (smiling, frowning, raising your eyebrows, etc.) can cause creases to appear around your eyes. Over time, the skin in this area will lose its ability to snap back into place, which leads to wrinkles.
Sleeping Habits
Lack of sleep can cause the blood vessels under your eyes to dilate, leading to a dark tint and puffiness under your eyes as the blood pools in that area. Since the skin around your eyes is thin, habits like sleeping with your face pressed into the pillow or unconsciously rubbing your eyes excessively can lead to premature aging.
What Exactly Is a Plasma Pen?
A Plasma Pen is a device that converts electrical energy into electrostatic energy, which is then transmitted to the probe (the applicator tip). Oxygen and nitrogen combine to produce an arc of plasma that discharges into the top layer of the skin. This causes the skin tissue to immediately contract and creates micro-burns in the area, which stimulates the production of new collagen and other important proteins.
Plasma Pen technology is a non-invasive treatment for a wide range of skin issues, including loose skin, wrinkles, skin tags, hyperpigmentation, scars, and stretch marks.
Can You Use a Plasma Pen Under Eyes to Treat Bags, Wrinkles, & Crow’s Feet?
Yes, you can use a Plasma Pen for under-eye bags, as well as wrinkles, fine lines, and the dreaded crow’s feet. A Plasma Pen will emit a high-frequency electric current to the skin, targeting the fibroblasts that are responsible for producing collagen and elastin. This tightens, strengthens, and plumps the skin, resulting in less noticeable wrinkles and a smoother appearance.
Why Should I Consider Using a Plasma Pen for Under-Eye Bags?
If you’ve tried other skin care treatments to address your eye bags, you’re likely aware of their limited effectiveness. While some products can rehydrate the skin or reduce puffiness temporarily, the results are often minor and short-lived.
In comparison, a Plasma Pen goes beyond the superficial layer of the skin and targets the cells responsible for skin youthfulness. Although it is non-invasive, the pen’s plasma energy penetrates into the dermis to address the root cause–a lack of collagen and elastin.
The results of Plasma Pen therapy are not only highly effective but also long-lasting. In most cases, the effect can last 1 to 3 years, if not longer. Additionally, most individuals only need one session to achieve their desired results. Compared to other procedures like microneedling, Plasma Pen therapy requires fewer repetitions and yet produces results that last longer.
How to Use a Plasma Pen Under Eye Bags Safely
When using a Plasma Pen under your eyes, safety is paramount. Here are some tips to ensure a safe and effective experience:
Use an Appropriate Setting
Start with a low setting (1 or 2) if you’re a first-time user and gradually increase as you become more comfortable.
Work in a Well-Lit Area
Choose a well-lit area, such as near a window during the day or in a bathroom with bright lighting, to ensure visibility. A ring light can also help eliminate shadows around your eyes.
Go Slowly
Apply the Plasma Pen slowly and carefully around your eyes, ensuring the tip stays away from your eyeball.
Ask Someone for Help
If working around your eyes feels difficult, ask someone with experience to help you. This reduces the risk of accidents.
Go to a Treatment Provider
If you’re unsure about your skills or have unsteady hands, consider visiting a professional treatment provider for your first session. This will give you the confidence to use the Plasma Pen safely at home later.
