Under-eye area s are a common concern as they can make the face look tired and aged. They can be caused by several factors, including skin laxity, fluid retention, genetic predisposition, and fat protrusion in the orbital area. Each case requires a tailored approach to achieve the best results.

At Viva Well, we offer effective, personalised treatments designed to reduce puffiness, smooth the skin, and restore a refreshed, youthful appearance.

Why Do Under-Eye Bags Appear?

The skin around the eyes is thinner and more delicate than the rest of the face, making it more prone to changes caused by ageing, lifestyle, and environmental factors. As we get older, collagen and elastin production decline, leading to sagging skin and a loss of firmness. Additionally, genetics, fluid retention, and fat accumulation can contribute to under-eye puffiness, making the area look swollen or shadowed.

Fortunately, there are advanced treatments that can effectively address each of these causes, restoring a more rested and youthful look.

Treatments for Under-Eye area 

Skin Laxity & Loss of Firmness

Over time, the skin loses its natural elasticity, causing the under-eye area to sag and emphasise the appearance of bags. The best approach focuses on collagen stimulation and skin tightening to improve firmness and smoothness.

Polynucleotides – One of the most innovative treatments available, polynucleotides are bio-stimulating molecules that enhance skin regeneration, stimulate collagen production, and improve elasticity. They work from within to restore structure, leaving the skin firmer and more youthful over time.

Laser CO2  – Fractional CO2 laser and other non-invasive treatments can target pigmentation and skin tightening.

Chemical Peels: Light chemical peels can improve the texture and appearance of the under-eye area.

Fat Protrusion & Volume Imbalance

In some cases, under-eye bags are caused by fat accumulation in the orbital area, creating puffiness or an uneven contour. The best treatments aim to restore balance and smooth the transition between the lower eyelid and the cheek.Radiofrequency or Laser Treatments – Non-invasive energy-based treatments can tighten the skin and improve fat distribution, helping to smooth and reshape the under-eye contour for a more youthful look.

Blepharoplasty (Eye Surgery): Lower Blepharoplasty: Removes or repositions fat from the lower eyelids to reduce under-eye bags, tighten skin, and smooth the area.

Fluid Retention & Puffiness

Excess fluid accumulation can make the under-eye area look swollen and puffy. This often happens due to poor circulation, lifestyle habits, or genetics. The goal of treatment is to enhance drainage and improve skin quality.

Lymphatic Drainage – Gentle massage techniques help reduce fluid build-up, improve circulation, and decrease puffiness naturally.

Medical-Grade Skincare – Specialised eye creams containing caffeine, peptides, and antioxidants can support microcirculation and strengthen the skin barrier to minimise fluid retention.
