Bags under your eyes can be caused by lots of different factors, including ageing, weakening of the orbital septum, smoking, alcohol consumption, lack of sleep, genetics and a poor diet. 

• Ageing. As we age, fatty tissue in the upper cheeks breaks down, which can lead to protruding bulges under the eye. 
   
• Weakening of the orbital septum. A thin membrane that holds fat under the eye, the orbital septum can weaken and allow the fat behind it to sag. This then presses against the skin under the eye, adding to or causing these bags.
   
• Smoking. Smoking causes skin to become dehydrated, and some doctors suggest that nicotine withdrawal during the night can disrupt sleep, which worsens dark circles.
   
• Alcohol consumption. Alcohol is another vice that causes the skin to become dehydrated, making it more likely to become weak and sink below the eyes.
   
• Lack of sleep. When you don’t have enough sleep, blood vessels can dilate, creating or worsening dark circles under eyes.
   
• Genetics. Genetics can play a big part in how noticeable bags beneath the eyes are. But just because it runs in the family, doesn’t mean this is the main reason for your eye bags.
   
• Poor diet. A high sodium diet can affect the delicate under eye area. Salty foods can cause water retention beneath the eye, making bags more obvious.

Our experienced doctors and nurses at our award-winning London clinic continue to change lives with our dermal fillers, treating areas such as tear troughs to transform the surrounding under eye area.

Dermal fillers can be used under the eyes to help tackle a tired and dull complexion. As dermal fillers are temporary, the treatment is non-surgical and is carefully injected beneath the eyes. To replenish lost volume in the under eye area,  we use hyaluronic acid dermal fillers from the Juvéderm range by Allergan Aesthetics. Patients visit us for a filler treatment as it's quick, easy and "a lot less drastic than going under the knife".

We understand that with so many under eye bag treatments out there, it can take the excitement out of a potential transformation. But during your consultation at our London clinic, we’ll talk you through the treatment from start to finish, so you can decide whether dermal fillers are the right under eye bag treatment for you.

Dermal fillers are a safe, non-surgical treatment used under the eyes. As our dermal fillers are enriched with hyaluronic acid, a liquid that is already naturally stored in the body, your under eyes are treated with the very best product.

Serious problems are rare if you see an experienced medical professional. Dermal fillers should only be used by medically trained clinicians to ensure a safe and effective treatment. With a team led by Dr Tapan who has been injecting dermal fillers for over 20 years, our specialists are the best of the best. 

When dermal filler is injected beneath the eyes, you’ll feel slight pain for a few minutes. So you can get rid of your unwanted bags with minimal discomfort.
