Skin therapy for bags under the eyes
Bags under the eyes give a tired look. At Clinic Doctor Frodo, we offer non-surgical treatments to reduce puffiness and improve skin quality. This way, you get a fresh and natural look, tailored to your needs.
How do bags under the eyes occur?
Puffiness occurs due to various factors, including:
- Aging: As we age, the skin loses its elasticity and subcutaneous fat tissue becomes less bulky. This can lead to sagging skin under the eyes, causing puffiness.
- Fluid accumulation: Puffiness can also be the result of fluid buildup under the eyes, often caused by poor circulation, sleep deprivation, or too much salt in the diet.
- Genetic predisposition: For some people, it's genetic that they're more prone to under-eye bags, even at a younger age.
- Lifestyle: Lack of sleep, smoking, excessive alcohol consumption, and stress can all contribute to worsening puffiness.
Which skin therapies are available for puffiness?
There are several advanced skin therapies that can effectively help reduce bags under the eyes. At Clinic Doctor Frodo, we often combine different techniques for optimal and natural results. Below, we explain the most important treatments.
1. Radio frequency microneedling (RF Microneedling)
RF Microneedling combines the technique of microneedling with radio frequency energy to firm the skin and stimulate collagen and elastin production. This treatment deeply rejuvenates the skin by creating controlled microchannels, encouraging the body to natural healing and skin renewal. RF Microneedling is ideal for improving skin structure around the eyes and can reduce puffiness and sagging skin.
- Benefits: Increases collagen production, firms the skin and reduces puffiness.
- Treatment time: 30-45 minutes
- Recovery time: Slight redness or swelling for a few days.
2. Peels for skin improvement
Chemical peels can be used to improve skin structure under the eyes. By exfoliating the top layer of the skin, a peel stimulates the production of new skin cells. This ensures that the skin becomes smoother and more even, making puffiness less noticeable. Peels are often combined with other skin therapies for optimal results.
- Benefits: Removes dead skin cells, promotes cell renewal and improves skin texture.
- Treatment time: 20-30 minutes
- Recovery time: 2-7 days of slight redness and peeling.
3. IPL (Intense Pulsed Light)
IPL is a light treatment that can brighten the skin and improve its texture. It is effective in addressing pigment problems and reducing discolorations that make puffiness more visible. IPL works on the deeper layers of the skin and can strengthen and refresh the skin under the eyes.
- Benefits: Reduces pigmentation, firms the skin and reduces the appearance of puffiness.
- Treatment time: 30 minutes.
- Recovery time: Slight redness for a few days.
4. Laser Therapy (Erbium Pixel or Fraxel)
For puffiness caused by skin sagging, laser therapy like the Erbium Pixel laser whether Fraxel be an effective solution. These lasers work by stimulating the deeper layers of the skin, promoting the production of new collagen. This ensures that the skin under the eyes is tightened and wrinkles and fine lines are reduced. Laser therapy can significantly improve skin structure, helping to make puffiness less visible.
- Benefits: Tightens skin, reduces wrinkles and improves overall skin quality.
- Treatment time: 30-60 minutes
- Recovery time: A few days to a week of slight redness and peeling, depending on the intensity of the laser.
5. Carboxytherapy
- Carboxytherapy combined with IPL or Laser is one of the most effective skin therapies for reducing puffiness caused by fluid retention and poor circulation. During the treatment, CO₂ gas (carbon dioxide) is injected into the skin, which stimulates blood flow and improves skin oxygenation. Then we do an IPL or Laser treatment.
- Benefits: Improves circulation, reduces puffiness, and promotes collagen production for tighter skin.
- Treatment time: 15-30 minutes.
- Recovery time: Carboxytherapy with little to no downtime,
Combination treatments for optimal results
Often, a combination of different skin therapies is most effective in reducing puffiness and improving the skin under the eyes. During a personal consultation at Clinic Doctor Frodo, we carefully analyze the causes of your puffiness and put together a customized treatment plan. For example, this could be a combination of carboxytherapy, laser therapy and peels, depending on your skin's specific needs.

FAQ
FAQs
What is the anatomy of the eye region and how does it change with age?
The eye region consists of bone structures, fat compartments, muscles, and skin. With aging, changes occur in these anatomical structures, such as loss of volume in bone and fat, and sagging skin, which contributes to a tired and older appearance.
According to physiology, how does the aging process in the eye region work?
Physiologically, over the years, there is a decline in skin elasticity, collagen production, and fat volume around the eyes. These changes affect the structure and functionality of the eye region and contribute to the aging process.
What is bone atrophy and how does it affect the eye region
Bone atrophy is the physiological process by which bone mass decreases. In the eye region, this leads to enlarged eye sockets and less support for surrounding tissues, causing a hollow and tired appearance.
How does fat loss contribute to the aging of the eye region?
Anatomically, subcutaneous fat in the eye region loses volume and moves downwards. This physiological process leads to puffiness, dark circles and a sunken look under the eyes.
What happens to the skin elasticity around the eyes due to aging?
The skin around the eyes loses elasticity due to a decrease in collagen and elastin, resulting in wrinkles, crow's feet and sagging skin. This is a normal physiological process with age.
Why is there a discrepancy between the skin and underlying structures?
Aging in bone and fat causes anatomical changes in which the skin remains relatively large for the underlying structures, leading to sagging and excess skin in the eye region.
What is the role of dynamic wrinkles in the ageing of the eye region?
Dynamic wrinkles, such as crow's feet, are caused by movement of the orbicularis oculi muscle. These wrinkles become permanent over time due to repeated facial expressions, accentuating the overall aging of the eye region.
How do anatomical changes affect skin structure in the eye region?
Aging results in thinner skin, less support for underlying fat and bone structures, and visibly more transparent skin. These anatomical changes reinforce signs of aging, such as dark circles.
What is the connection between aging and sagging skin around the eyes?
Skin sagging is a result of anatomical and physiological changes, such as loss of fat volume and decline in skin elasticity. This sagging contributes to the formation of puffiness and wrinkles in the eye region.
Why do bags under the eyes occur with aging?
Puffiness occurs due to the anatomical movement of fat into the lower eye regions due to ligament weakening. This physiological process leads to visible puffiness and dark circles.
