Puffy Eyes: The Causes and Solutions to this Common Issue

Puffy eyes are an issue that can occur with anyone, no matter your age, sex or race. While it is less common in young people, puffy eyes can seemingly come out of nowhere and then be a rather bothersome issue to deal with. Whether you have puffy eyes as a result of not enough sleep the night before or more of an underlying issue that needs professional attention, we here at Ageless in the Triad Med Spa would like to go over some of the causes and solutions to this common issue with you.

First, let’s discuss the temporary causes and solutions to puffy eyes. These are the issues that occur when you’ve had a few cocktails the night before, haven’t been sleeping well, or have a change in your diet. Drinking plenty of water and cutting down on your carbohydrate intake can help to reduce eye puffiness along with getting plenty of rest. After all, they call it “beauty sleep” for a reason!

Second, for more stubborn puffy eyes where the issue has been with you for a few weeks or months, you might need to look into stronger solutions than rest and hydration. An eye serum or soothing gel patch that contains caffeine can be very beneficial to this issue and easily incorporate into your morning routine. Crystal rollers can also be soothing and push out excess fluid, which can help your puffy eyes.

Finally, if these issues are not doing the trick, come to us here at Ageless in the Triad Med Spa. It could be a medical condition causing your puffy eyes (such as prolapsed fat under your eyes) that we can medically assist you in handling.
