About the Condition

Discover effective treatments to reduce under eye bags

Under eye bags are characterised by a mild swelling or puffiness beneath the eyes that can make you look tired or older than you feel. This condition may occur due to fluid retention, ageing-related weakening of tissues, and the natural displacement of fat pads around the eyes. External factors such as allergies, lack of sleep, and poor nutrition can exacerbate the appearance of puffiness, while genetics also plays a role in determining how early or prominently eye bags form.

If you’re seeking to restore a refreshed, youthful look, Smooth Dimensions offers targeted solutions to address under eye bags and rejuvenate the delicate eye area.

Condition Causes

Common causes for under eye bags

Under eye bags often stem from fluid retention, which can be exacerbated by high salt intake, lack of sleep, or allergies. As we age, the tissues and muscles supporting the eyelids weaken, allowing fat to move forward and create a puffy appearance. Environmental and lifestyle factors—such as sun exposure, smoking, and dehydration—can further compromise skin elasticity. Genetics may predispose some individuals to develop under eye bags more visibly or at an earlier age. Understanding these causes can help guide effective treatment choices.
