Understanding under-eye bags

Under-eye bags are puffiness or fullness below the eyes, and they are one of the trickier concerns, because not every type responds to injectable treatment. We assess yours carefully and advise honestly within our tear trough and under-eye treatments.

What causes under-eye bags

True bags are usually caused by fat pads pushing forward as the supporting tissue weakens with age, or by fluid retention. They differ from a hollow or dark circle. Genetics, sleep, salt and allergies can all make puffiness worse.

Who tends to notice them

They often appear from the forties, though some people have them younger through genetics. Puffiness that comes and goes is often fluid-related, while a persistent bag is more likely to be fat pads.

Where a small bag sits above a hollow, careful filler can smooth the transition and reduce the shadow, in the right candidate.
For skin quality and mild puffiness, regenerative treatment can improve the tone and firmness of the area.

What results are realistic

This is an area where honesty matters most. Filler can help where a small bag sits above a hollow, but significant fat-pad bags are not improved by filler and may need surgery. Fluid-related puffiness responds to lifestyle changes. We will always tell you if injectables are not the answer.

I can’t recommend Rachel highly enough. This was my very first appointment with Rachel and it certainly won’t be my last, she made me feel completely comfortable and at ease. She is incredibly professional, knowledgeable, and takes the time to really listen and understand what you want to achieve. Rachel has a very natural approach and her attention to detail is amazing. I feel confident knowing I’m in such skilled hands, and the results have been exactly what I hoped for. Thank you, Rachel, for your care, expertise, and for always making the whole experience so positive. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend you to anyone looking for a trusted and talented practitioner.

I recently had polynucleotide under-eye injections with Rachel, and I couldn’t be more pleased with both the experience and the results so far. From the moment I arrived, Rachel was incredibly welcoming, professional, and knowledgeable. She took the time to explain the treatment thoroughly and made me feel completely comfortable and reassured throughout the entire process. The treatment itself was surprisingly pain-free, with minimal discomfort and very little downtime afterwards. I’ve already noticed a significant improvement in the appearance of my under-eye area - it looks brighter, more refreshed, and the fine lines have softened noticeably. As someone who works night shifts in the NHS, tired-looking eyes have always been a concern for me, so seeing such positive results already has been amazing. I’m excited to complete the rest of my treatment course and see the full benefits. I would highly recommend Rachel to anyone considering polynucleotide treatments. Her professionalism, expertise, and friendly approach make the whole experience exceptional ❤️
