What are Under Eye Bags?
Under-eye bags are swollen or puffy areas beneath the lower eyelids. They can be caused by ageing, genetics, lifestyle factors, or fluid retention. While often harmless, persistent puffiness can affect self-confidence and appearance, making you look more tired or older than you feel.
Common symptoms include:
- Swelling or bulging beneath the eyes
- Mild skin discolouration or shadowing
- Skin laxity or sagging around the eyes
Types of Under-Eye Bags
Understanding the type of under-eye concern is key to choosing the right treatment:
- Temporary Puffiness : Often caused by poor sleep, salt intake, or morning fluid retention. Usually resolves throughout the day.
- Fat Pad Herniation : With age, fat shifts forward into the lower eyelids, creating a permanent bulge.
- Allergy-Related Puffiness : Triggered by environmental or food allergies, often accompanied by redness, itching, or tearing.
- Skin Laxity : Loss of skin elasticity with age causes the under-eye skin to sag and appear puffy or hollow.
- Pigmented or Vascular Puffiness : Darkness or shadowing under the eyes caused by pigmentation or poor circulation, often confused with “bags”.
What Causes Under Eye Bags?
There are several reasons you might be seeing puffiness under your eyes, including:
Ageing
Muscles weaken and fat redistributes over time
Lack of Sleep
Poor rest increases fluid retention
Allergies
Chronic inflammation can cause swelling
Fluid Retention
Triggered by salty foods, alcohol, or hormonal changes
Genetics
You may simply inherit a predisposition for under-eye fat or swelling
Wondering why your undereyes look tired even after a full night’s sleep? Here are five common reasons behind that stubborn puffiness:
Advanced Treatment Options for Under-Eye Bags

Tear Trough Fillers
Smooth hollowness and shadows using hyaluronic acid-based dermal fillers. Immediate results with minimal downtime.
- Best for: Volume loss, mild puffiness
- Results: 9–18 months

Polynucleotides (PN)
A regenerative injectable that promotes skin repair, reduces inflammation, and improves elasticity.
- Best for: Age-related under-eye concerns, crepey texture

Exosome Therapy
Advanced stem-cell-derived treatment that stimulates skin healing and reduces inflammation.
- Best for: Puffiness, dull texture, early signs of ageing

RF Microneedling
Radiofrequency energy combined with microneedling stimulates collagen, tightens skin, and smooths fine lines.
- Best for: Sagging, crepey skin under the eyes

Medical-Grade Skincare
Prescription-strength eye creams and serums to manage puffiness, maintain results, and strengthen the under-eye skin.
- Best for: Mild concerns or post-treatment maintenance

Blepharoplasty (Lower Eyelid Surgery)
Surgical procedure to remove or reposition excess fat and skin under the eyes for long-lasting rejuvenation.
- Best for: Severe under-eye bags or permanent fat herniation.
When Should You See a Specialist?
You should consider professional treatment if:
Under-eye puffiness persists despite lifestyle changes
The swelling causes discomfort, redness, or itching
The appearance of your eyes is affecting your self-esteem
The puffiness appeared suddenly or worsened over time

What they say about us
FAQ
Get in touch Frequently Asked Questions:
What’s the best treatment for under-eye bags?
It depends on the cause. Fillers work best for hollowness, while surgery is more effective for fat herniation. Regenerative options like polynucleotides are ideal for early ageing signs.
Are under-eye fillers safe?
Yes. When performed by an experienced clinician, they are safe and deliver natural-looking, immediate results.
Can lifestyle changes improve puffiness?
Absolutely. Reducing salt, getting quality sleep, staying hydrated, and managing allergies can help reduce swelling.
How long does recovery take?
Most non-surgical treatments have minimal to no downtime. Blepharoplasty may require 7–10 days for initial recovery.
Is surgery always necessary?
No. Many patients achieve excellent results without surgery, but for severe or permanent fat pads, blepharoplasty is a long-term solution.
