Bags under eyes: causes and treatment

Bags under the eyes are the puffy and dark circles under the eyes that appear, even if you’re well-rested. They can be caused by factors such as alcohol-consumption, salt-rich foods, lack of sleep, smoking and genetics. 

 

How to get rid of eye bags?

If you’re wondering how to get rid of eye bags, there are several treatment options available. Some people try home remedies like using a cool compress, cold compress, or skincare products designed for eye skin. Others explore non-surgical options like dermal fillers, which help restore volume loss in the delicate skin beneath the eyes.

 

At our London clinic, we offer cosmetic procedures using Juvéderm dermal fillers to treat bags under the eyes. These injectable treatments contain hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring substance in the skin that enhances hydration and collagen production. As this under-eye bag treatment is a non-surgical option, there is minimal downtime, and you can resume your daily activities as normal. You’ll notice a smoother appearance and a more youthful appearance in just a few days.

Bags under eyes - what are they?

As part of the natural aging process, the skin around the eyes weakens, causing saggy skin and excess skin to develop. The fat that once supported the upper eyelid can shift downward to the lower eyelid, leading to eye swelling, a sunken eye region, and puffy eyelids. Poor blood circulation and fluid retention can worsen the appearance of eye bags and appearance of puffiness, making them more noticeable, even after a full night’s rest.

 

A recent survey in the Aesthetic Surgery Journal with 14,584 participants found that eye circles and under-eye bags are among the top cosmetic concerns. Many individuals turn to cosmetic treatments like injectable fillers to improve the appearance of bags and achieve brighter skin.

What causes bags under the eyes?

Several lifestyle factors and genetic predispositions contribute to under-eye bags:

Aging: The natural ageing process leads to loose skin and excess skin under the eyes.

Weakening of the Orbital Septum: This thin membrane holds fat in place but can weaken, causing the fat to sag and contribute to eye puffiness.

Smoking: Smoking dehydrates the skin, and nicotine withdrawal during sleep can impact blood circulation, worsening eye circles.

Alcohol Consumption: Alcohol dehydrates the eye skin, making it more prone to eye puffiness and dark circles.

Lack of Sleep: A lack of sleep can cause blood circulation to slow, resulting in eye swelling and puffy eyelids.

Genetics: If bags under eyes run in your family, you may be more likely to experience them, but they can still be improved with injectable treatments.

Poor Diet: High sodium intake can lead to fluid retention, which worsens the appearance of puffiness under the eyes.

Allergy Symptoms: Seasonal allergies can trigger eye swelling, affecting the appearance of bags and skin texture.

Treatment by the experts

At our award-winning London clinic, our experienced doctors and nurses specialise in treating bags under eyes using dermal fillers. Our patients seek injectable fillers as they provide a non-surgical option that enhances healthy skin and promotes a smoother appearance.

 

Dermal fillers are carefully injected beneath the eyes to restore lost volume, addressing eye puffiness and improving skin texture. We use Juvéderm dermal fillers from Allergan Aesthetics, a globally trusted brand. Many patients prefer this treatment as it’s quicker and far less invasive than an eyelid lift or surgical procedure.

 

During your consultation, we’ll guide you through every step of the process, helping you determine whether this cosmetic treatment is the right treatment option for you.

Are under eye fillers safe?

Under eye fillers are a safe, non-surgical option for addressing bags under eyes and eye circles. The injectable fillers we use are enriched with hyaluronic acid, a natural substance found in the body.

 

Complications are rare when treated by a qualified professional. That’s why our team, led by Dr. Tapan, follows stringent safety protocols. With over 20 years of experience, Dr. Tapan ensures the highest standards for all cosmetic proceduresperformed at our clinic.

Do under eye fillers hurt?

The injectable treatment involves minor discomfort, but most patients report only a slight pinch during the procedure. Any eye swelling or tenderness typically subsides within a few days, revealing a brighter skin appearance.

Your safety is our top priority and making our patients feel welcomed and reassured when entering PHI Clinic.
