How does a puffiness treatment work?

At Clinic Doctor Frodo, we offer a scientific, personalized approach to puffiness. With fillers and skin therapy, we tackle volume loss and skin aging for a fresh, natural look. This is how we subtly improve the eye region, without making you look “treated”.

What treatments are available to reduce puffiness?

We offer various effective treatments for reducing puffiness and rejuvenating the eye region. The C-Eye Lift, a combination of fillers and skin therapy, is our most popular treatment, which restores volume loss and strengthens skin structure. In addition, we offer innovative treatment options such as the Eye Regen Angel Lift, RF Microneedling, Carboxytherapy and laser treatments for profound skin improvement and a natural, youthful appearance. Below is an overview of these additional treatments.

The C-Eye Lift is our most popular treatment for reducing puffiness. This unique treatment combines the use of fillers and skin therapy to achieve complete rejuvenation of the eye region.

Fillers restore lost volume around the eyes, while skin therapy improves and firms the skin structure. This dual effect provides a youthful, fresh look, addressing puffiness, dark circles and fine lines. The result is a natural look without anyone seeing that you've been treated.

How does the treatment go from intake to result?

1. Intake


During the intake interview, we will discuss your wishes and goals. We perform a detailed 3D facial analysis to fully identify your skin type and face shape. Based on this, we will put together a treatment plan that is specifically tailored to your needs and expectations. This consultation offers space to ask all your questions and explore treatment options, such as fillers, IPL, laser or other skin therapies.

2. Treatment

The treatment itself varies by method:

  • Fillers: Strategically placed using thin cannulas to restore volume loss and improve contours without immediately visible traces.
  • Skin therapies such as IPL and RF Microneedling: These treat the skin structure, improve elasticity and reduce dark circles or pigmentation.
  • Combination treatments: Treatments such as the C-Eye Lift combine fillers with skin therapy to restore both volume and skin quality.

Each treatment is performed by experienced specialists and takes at least 30 minutes, depending on the treatment method. Thanks to accurate techniques, the treatment is almost painless and with minimal risk of side effects.

3. Aftercare

After the treatment, we provide comprehensive aftercare instructions to promote optimal recovery. Depending on the treatment, slight redness, swelling or bruising may occur, but these subside quickly. Among other things, we recommend protecting the skin properly with sunscreen and using cooling compresses if necessary. A check-up appointment is scheduled to evaluate the result and answer any questions, so that you are completely satisfied with your rejuvenated, natural appearance.

Our treatments for puffiness and skin rejuvenation around the eyes

Fillers: Restore volume loss and a youthful appearance

Fillers play an important role in restoring volume loss around the eyes and provide subtle, natural rejuvenation without surgery. Instead of injecting fillers directly under the eyes, we focus on the entire eye area. During the treatment, hyaluronic acid is strategically placed in the temples, around the eye socket, cheeks, and cheekbone. This supports the contours of the face and reduces puffiness, dark circles and fine lines. It provides long-term and natural improvement. Thanks to the use of thin cannulas, the filler is placed accurately, providing a gentle, uniform improvement without visible traces.

Fillers provide immediate results, and the effect lasts for several years, depending on your skin type and lifestyle. This treatment can be performed independently or combined with skin therapy for a more complete rejuvenation effect, restoring both skin quality and volume.

RF Microneedling: Deep Skin Rejuvenation

RF Microneedling combines microneedles with radio waves (RF) to deeply stimulate the skin under the eyes and promote collagen and elastin production. This ensures firmer skin and reduces fine lines and puffiness. The treatment is virtually painless and requires minimal recovery time. Any redness after treatment usually goes away within a day, and slight peeling may occur after a few days as part of the natural healing process.

Laser treatment: Tighter, younger skin

Laser therapy is an effective way to tighten and rejuvenate the skin under the eyes. By stimulating collagen in the deeper layers of the skin, the skin becomes firmer, reducing puffiness, wrinkles and pigmentation. Depending on your needs, we can choose between an ablative or non-ablative laser. The ablative laser (CO2 Laser) offers more intense results with slightly longer recovery time, while the non-ablative laser (Erbium Glass) is milder and requires no recovery time.

Carboxytherapy: Improving skin structure

Bee Carboxytherapy we inject CO₂ gas under the skin to stimulate blood flow and promote collagen production. This firms the skin and reduces fine lines, puffiness and dark circles. Carboxytherapy combines beautifully with a CO₂ laser treatment for the best skin improvement. The laser therapy works deep into the skin to stimulate the production of new collagen, while carboxytherapy immediately improves blood flow and skin firmness. Together, these treatments provide tighter, younger skin under the eyes with fewer puffiness and wrinkles.

Eye Regen Angel Lift: Recovery from within

The Eye Rain Angel Lift is an innovative, triple treatment that uses your own PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma), hyaluronic acid and microneedling. This combination stimulates the skin under the eyes to repair itself and become firmer.

During treatment, a small amount of blood is first taken, from which the PRP is obtained. Your own plasma, rich in growth factors, is introduced into the skin together with hyaluronic acid using microneedling and injections. The microneedles create micro-channels, allowing the active substances to penetrate deep into the skin layers. This process improves skin structure, reduces puffiness and provides a fresh, tighter eye region. After treatment, you may experience slight redness or swelling, but this goes away quickly.

IPL treatment: Pigment reduction and skin rejuvenation

IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) is a popular skin therapy that effectively reduces pigmentation, dark circles and redness around the eyes. By sending light pulses deep into the layers of the skin, IPL stimulates the production of collagen and elastin, making the skin firmer and smoother. This treatment is ideal for clients who are looking for a subtle but noticeable improvement in skin quality without major recovery time.

IPL can be combined well with other treatments such as fillers or the C-Eye Lift, so that both the skin structure and the volume around the eyes are improved. Depending on the intensity of the treatment, minimal recovery time is required, and you can usually resume your daily activities immediately after treatment.

Aftercare and results

At Clinic Doctor Frodo, we always strive for a treatment that is fully tailored to your unique face shape and skin condition. Whether you opt for the C-Eye Lift, laser therapy or any other treatment, the result is always natural and subtle. During a personal consultation, we will discuss your wishes and draw up a treatment plan that suits you.

After the treatment, we provide comprehensive aftercare and schedule a check-up appointment to evaluate the result. Most treatments have a short recovery time, allowing you to quickly return to your daily activities. We'll make sure you're fully informed and happy with the result.
