What are under-eye fat bags?
Under-eye fat bags occur when natural fat pads beneath the eyes become more prominent or shift forward, often combined with skin laxity and collagen loss. This can result in puffiness, shadows, and a tired or aged appearance. The under-eye area has delicate skin and is commonly affected by ageing and environmental exposure.
Causes of under-eye fat bags
A range of factors may contribute, including:
- Genetics and inherited facial structure
- Ageing and reduced collagen production
- Skin laxity and thinning
- Fluid retention
- Sun damage
- Lifestyle factors such as fatigue and stress
What treatment options are available?
Treatment suitability is determined following a comprehensive medical consultation and assessment. Options may include:
- Precision radiofrequency treatments such as AGNES RF designed to target excess fat and stimulate skin tightening
- Medical-grade laser skin tightening and rejuvenation
- Combination treatment approaches where clinically appropriate
Treatment plans are individualised based on anatomy, skin condition, and treatment goals.
What are the possible risks and side effects?
As with any medical or cosmetic procedure, side effects may occur and can include:
- Temporary swelling or redness
- Mild bruising
- Tenderness or sensitivity
These effects typically resolve over time.
How many sessions might be needed?
