What Causes Under-Eye Bags?
Under-eye bags, also known as periorbital puffiness or bags under the eyes, are a common cosmetic concern for many individuals.
These bags typically manifest as swelling or puffiness beneath the lower eyelids, giving the appearance of a tired or aged look.
While they are usually harmless from a medical standpoint, under-eye bags can be bothersome for cosmetic reasons, prompting individuals to seek ways to reduce or eliminate them.
Factors that can contribute to the development of under-eye bags include:
-
Ageing
-
Genetics
-
Fluid retention
-
Allergies
-
Dietary factors
-
Smoking
-
Sun exposure
Under-Eye Bags Treatments
Aesthetic Consultation
At Freyja Medical, our aesthetic consultations for under-eye bags are led by our expert practitioners who tailor personalised treatment plans to address your specific concerns.
We understand that every individual is unique, so we take the time to listen to your needs and goals before recommending the most suitable options.
Whether you’re considering dermal fillers, microneedling or Plexr we’re here to guide you through the process, ensuring you feel informed and confident in your choices.
Dermal Fillers
Dermal fillers present a swift and efficient remedy for under-eye bags by replenishing lost volume and evening out the delicate under-eye area.
Using hyaluronic acid-based fillers, these treatments diminish the prominence of under-eye bags, creating a refreshed look with immediate results lasting several months.
This minimally invasive procedure requires little downtime, making it convenient for those seeking noticeable improvements in their under-eye appearance.
Microneedling
Microneedling offers a promising solution for under-eye bags by stimulating collagen production and improving skin texture.
This minimally invasive procedure creates micro-injuries in the skin, prompting the body’s natural healing process and leading to tighter skin. It can also enhance the effectiveness of skincare products.
This treatment is generally well-tolerated and suitable for most skin types.
Plexr
Plexr, a non-surgical treatment using plasma energy, offers a promising solution for under-eye bags.
With precise application, it tightens excess skin, reducing bags without incisions or downtime.
At Freyja Medical, patients appreciate Plexr’s natural-looking results, restoring confidence with minimal discomfort.
What causes under-eye bags?
Under-eye puffiness can develop due to various factors, including:
- Ageing: As we age, the skin around the eyes loses collagen and elasticity, leading to sagging and puffiness.
- Genetics: Some individuals may inherit a tendency to develop under-eye bags from their parents.
- Fluid retention: Excess fluid can accumulate under the eyes, especially after consuming salty foods or due to hormonal fluctuations.
- Fatigue and lack of sleep: Not getting enough rest can cause fluid to accumulate and blood vessels to dilate, resulting in puffiness under the eyes.
- Allergies: Allergic reactions can lead to inflammation and swelling around the eyes, causing bags to appear.
- Dietary factors: Consuming a diet high in salt, alcohol, or caffeine can contribute to water retention and exacerbate under-eye puffiness.
- Smoking: Smoking can accelerate the breakdown of collagen and elastin in the skin, leading to premature ageing and the formation of under-eye bags.
- Sun exposure: UV rays can damage the delicate skin around the eyes, leading to collagen breakdown and the development of wrinkles and puffiness.
Addressing under-eye bags often involves a combination of lifestyle changes, such as getting adequate sleep, managing allergies, reducing salt intake, and using topical treatments like eye creams containing ingredients like caffeine or vitamin C. In some cases, cosmetic procedures like dermal fillers, microneedling or Plexr may be considered for more significant or stubborn under-eye bags.
