COOL EYE PACK

About

A cool eye pack is a specialized therapeutic device meticulously designed to provide localized cold therapy to the delicate periorbital area. These packs typically contain a soft gel or small beads that can be easily chilled in a refrigerator or freezer, allowing them to conform gently and comfortably to the contours around the eyes. The application of cold helps to induce vasoconstriction, effectively reducing blood flow to the area, which in turn minimizes puffiness, inflammation, and the appearance of dark circles often caused by fatigue, allergies, or minor irritation. Beyond its cosmetic benefits, it also offers a profoundly soothing sensation that can alleviate eye strain, headaches, and general discomfort, making it a popular and effective choice for relaxation, stress relief, and symptomatic management of various ocular discomforts.
