FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What is the Cause of Under Eye Bags?

Under eye bags form when the delicate skin beneath the eyes becomes weak and begins to sag, causing the fat pads beneath the eyes to slip down and create a pouch of skin. Under eye bags can also be caused by excess fluid in the body, contributing to a puffy and swollen look under the eyes, particularly in the morning upon waking up.

What Factors Can Contribute to Under Eye Bags?

There are various factors that can contribute to the appearance of under eye bags, including:

• Ageing – As the natural ageing process reduces levels of collagen in the skin, sagging can affect the under eye area and lead to the formation of eye bags.
• Lack of sleep – Not getting enough sleep can lead to the accumulation of fluid under the eyes, causing dark circles and puffiness.
• Genetics – For some individuals, eye bags can be inherited, appearing from an early age.

Other factors that can contribute to under eye bags include stress, untreated allergies, smoking, chronic medical conditions and eye fatigue.
