Eye Bags

Eye bags, clinically referred to as infraorbital oedema, are characterised by mild swelling or puffiness in the lower eyelids, often accompanied by dark circles. While not typically a serious health concern, they are a common cosmetic issue for many individuals. Skin Renewal's doctor-led approach ensures personalised, advanced and clinically proven eye rejuvenation treatments tailored to each patient's unique needs.

Causes of Eye Bags

Several factors contribute to the formation of eye bags:

The primary symptoms of eye bags include minor swelling in the lower eyelids, loose or sagging skin, and dark circles beneath the eyes. These symptoms are generally mild and cause more cosmetic concerns than physical discomfort.  

Treating the Signs of Ageing Around the Eyes

 

The eye area is often the first place to show signs of ageing, including crow's feet, excess skin, and dark circles. Other concerns may include drooping eyelids and prominent under-eye bags. Traditionally, the eye area has been challenging to treat non-surgically.

However, advancements in aesthetic treatments now offer excellent options for rejuvenating the ageing eye area. At Skin Renewal, we take pride in our doctor-led approach to under-eye treatments. Our skilled team of doctors meticulously designed each treatment plan, ensuring that every patient receives personalised care tailored to their unique needs. By blending medical expertise with cutting-edge cosmetic technology, we achieve safe and effective results that enhance the natural beauty of your skin. Our holistic approach considers the under-eye area's unique structure and sensitivity, enabling us to address concerns like dark circles, wrinkles, and hollowness with precision and care.

These treatment solutions are combined with carefully selected procedures to achieve optimal results. They may include EndyBleph, EndyEye with Endymed FSR, Jett Plasma, and Laser Genesis®. These treatments are suitable for virtually any patient in their thirties or older and offer effective rejuvenation for the eye area. 

Eye Reshaping: A New Trend in Aesthetic Treatments

 

Eye reshaping is a growing trend in which correction techniques are used to address concerns like crow's feet, under-eye bags, dark circles, and thinning skin around the eyes and to reshape the eye area.

 Some of the most commonly requested eye reshaping treatments include:

 

frequently asked
questions

Are treatments for eye bags available at all Skin Renewal clinics?
What deficiency causes eye bags?

A deficiency in certain nutrients, particularly iron and vitamin K, can contribute to the development of eye bags. Iron deficiency, which leads to anaemia, can result in poor oxygenation of tissues, causing the skin under the eyes to appear dark and puffy. Vitamin K plays a crucial role in blood clotting and circulation, and a lack of it may exacerbate the appearance of dark circles and puffiness.

Does drinking water before bed cause eye bags?

Drinking water before bed can contribute to eye bags in some individuals. Excessive fluid intake late at night can lead to fluid retention, causing the delicate tissue around the eyes to swell and appear puffy in the morning. Staying hydrated throughout the day is important, but consider reducing fluid intake just before bedtime.

At what age do eye bags appear?

Eye bags commonly appear in a person's late twenties to early thirties. As the skin ages, it loses collagen and elasticity, leading to sagging and puffiness under the eyes. However, genetics, lifestyle, and overall health can cause eye bags to appear earlier or later in life.

Do Botox help for under-eye bags?

Botox is not typically used to treat under-eye bags. While Botox can effectively reduce wrinkles and fine lines around the eyes, it does not address the underlying causes of puffiness or sagging skin under the eyes. Treatments like dermal fillers or laser therapy may be more appropriate for under-eye bags.

Why do you have eye bags?

Various factors, including ageing, genetics, fluid retention, allergies, and lifestyle habits, such as lack of sleep or high salt intake, can cause eye bags. As the skin ages, it naturally loses collagen and elasticity, leading to sagging and fat accumulation under the eyes, which appear as eye bags.

Are your eye bags from tiredness?

Yes, tiredness is a common cause of eye bags. Lack of sleep can lead to poor circulation and fluid retention, puffiness and dark circles under the eyes. Ensuring adequate rest is essential for reducing the appearance of tiredness-related eye bags.
