Causes of Eye Bags
Several factors contribute to the formation of eye bags:
Ageing: As we age, the skin loses elasticity, and the muscles supporting the eyelids weaken, causing fat to bulge and skin to sag.
Fluid Retention: High salt intake or other conditions can lead to fluid accumulation under the eyes, resulting in puffiness.
Genetics: A family history of eye bags can make some individuals more prone to developing them.
Lifestyle Factors: Lack of sleep, smoking, allergies, and stress can all exacerbate the appearance 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.
