Do tea bags really work for removing eye bags?

Using refrigerated tea bags to apply to eye bags can reduce eye bags to a certain extent. However, not all eye bags can be removed by cold compresses.

Generally speaking, only false edema-type eye bags can be removed with tea bags, while the treatment effect of real eye bags is average.

True eye bags, which we often call stubborn eye bags, are a permanent skin problem that appears on the lower eyelids. Without professional treatment, they basically will not disappear on their own.

How to brew tea bags

1. Don’t use a thermos cup

When brewing tea in a thermos cup, tea will be soaked for a long time at high temperature, which will cause a large amount of tea polyphenols and other substances to leach out, making the tea thick and bitter. At the same time, the aromatic oil in the tea will evaporate quickly when the water temperature is high, which will reduce the fragrance of the tea. In addition, a large amount of tea scale is easily accumulated in the thermos cup.

2. Correct order of brewing tea

It is a wrong practice to put the tea bag in before pouring water. In this way, the tea bag will expand, the tea leaves will become astringent due to the hot water, and the bag may even break.

First, pour boiling water into the kettle, wait until the temperature returns to about 90 degrees Celsius, and then put the tea bag in. Wait for a while, pick up the label, gently pull up the tea bag, let it float in the hot water, so that the tea juice can seep out as quickly as possible; after about 1 minute, take out the tea bag and throw it away.

3. Pay attention to the amount of water used to make tea

In the market, a tea bag usually contains about 2 grams of tea leaves, and it is better to control the amount of water between 200 and 300 ml.

How to remove true eye bags

Surgical method.

Surgical method is the traditional method of removing eye bags. It has two different methods: internal incision and external incision. Different methods are suitable for different types of eye bags. For example, external incision is suitable for all types of eye bags, especially those with severe sagging skin. During treatment, the skin needs to be incised and excess fat and sagging skin needs to be removed if necessary.

The endocut method is a method of making a surgical incision on the inner diameter of the eye to remove excess fat and eye bags. It is simpler to operate than the extrinsic method, the wound is hidden, and the recovery is faster after surgery, but it is only suitable for simple fat eye bags.

Internal absorption method.

Due to the different types of eye bags, the appropriate treatment methods are naturally different. Fat-type eye bags are caused by bulging fat in the eye sockets. During treatment, you only need to remove the excess fat in the eye bags in a targeted manner.

It uses the principle of negative pressure to extract excess fat from eye bags and remove eye bags. The operation is simple and the recovery will be fast after the operation, but it is not suitable for eye bags with obvious sagging skin.
