Baggy dark circles treatment

The most common cause of dark circles and bags under the eyes is a lack of sleep over a long period of time. Even if you are currently sleeping enough, if you previously spent a lot of time without enough sleep, the dark circles and bags will take a long time to go away. You should also note that the amount of sleep required varies from individual to individual — some people get along fine with just about six hours of sleep, while other people need at least nine hours.

However, if you are sure that you are getting enough sleep then you need to look at the other possibilities. These include anemia and allergies — both of which will require the diagnosis of a doctor. If you are on medication for any disease or disorder, you should ask the doctor who prescribed the medication whether it could be causing the bags and circles under your eyes.


The dark circles are due to the blood vessels in this area being unusually prominent, and the bags are formed when blood pools in this area. Home remedies such as placing cucumber slices on the eyes are effective, but only temporarily, as they work by constricting the blood vessels. This effect lasts for only a short while; permanently solving the problem requires you to address the underlying cause.
