Under-eye bags are mild puffiness or swelling under the eyes. They appear when the muscles and tissues supporting the eyelids weaken with age. Fat can move downwards, and fluid may build up, making the eyes look tired.

What Our
Customers Say

Don't just take our word for it. Here's what real patients have to say about their experience at The One Clinic.

I visited the clinic for removal of a haemangioma on my forehead. Initially, surgery was discussed due to the size, but during the appointment the doctor decided that laser treatment was the better and less invasive option. The procedure itself was quick and straightforward, and I was reassured throughout. After the appointment, I realised there had been some confusion on my side regarding the pricing, as the invoice still reflected surgical treatment. I raised this with the clinic, and the difference was refunded promptly and without any issues. I really appreciated how professionally and fairly this was handled. Overall, a positive experience — good clinical judgement, clear results, and excellent customer service. I'd be happy to recommend the clinic.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Eye bags may improve with lifestyle changes such as getting enough sleep, reducing salt intake, staying hydrated, and using cold compresses. While these methods can help temporarily, lasting results are usually achieved with treatments like dermal fillers, Cool Bleph, or laser resurfacing.

Truly permanent removal of eye bags is typically achieved through surgical blepharoplasty, which addresses underlying fat and excess skin. Non-surgical options like dermal fillers or Cool Bleph provide significant long-lasting improvement, often 12 months or more, but results are not permanent and maintenance is recommended.

Persistent eye bags that don't respond to sleep, diet changes, or cold compresses are usually fat-based or caused by skin laxity. For lasting results, treatments like dermal fillers, Cool Bleph, laser resurfacing, or blepharoplasty can reduce puffiness and restore a refreshed look.

Fluid-based bags are soft and typically worse in the morning, improving throughout the day. Fat-based bags feel firmer, stay in place regardless of time of day, and do not change with rest or fluid intake. Our specialists can assess your situation and recommend the most appropriate treatment.

Eye bags are rarely caused by a nutritional deficiency. Poor sleep, dehydration, or excess salt are far more common contributors. While iron or vitamin K deficiency can affect skin tone around the eyes, they do not directly cause structural puffiness. Treatments like dermal fillers or Cool Bleph address the underlying causes more effectively than supplements.

Staying well hydrated helps reduce fluid retention and mild morning puffiness. However, drinking more water will not remove persistent fat-based or skin-laxity eye bags. Professional treatments are needed for meaningful, lasting results.

For temporary mild puffiness, cold compresses or caffeine-based eye creams can offer short-term relief. For a visible and lasting improvement, treatments such as dermal fillers, Cool Bleph, laser resurfacing, chemical peels, or blepharoplasty provide the best results depending on the type and severity of your eye bags.
