The under-eye area is one of the most delicate parts of the face, and it often shows signs of change sooner than other areas. Thin skin, reduced circulation, and the constant pull of gravity can all contribute to puffiness, dark shadows, and a tired appearance. Because the skin here is more sensitive, we choose treatments carefully to address the specific causes of under-eye bags. At Lazaderm in Chandler, AZ, we offer several options to smooth and brighten this area.
What Are Under-Eye Bags?
Under-eye bags describe the swelling or sagging that forms beneath the lower eyelids. The skin here is naturally thin, so even minor changes in fluid retention or fat positioning become noticeable. This can make the eyes look tired regardless of how much rest an individual gets. While under-eye bags are not usually a medical concern, they are often viewed as an unwanted cosmetic change.
What Causes Under-Eye Bags?
Several factors contribute to under-eye bags, including natural aging and the gradual weakening of muscles around the eyes. When these muscles lose strength, fat that normally supports the eye may shift and create bulging. Fluid can also build up in the lower eyelids, leading to puffiness under the eyes that worsens after sleeping or during allergy flare-ups. Genetics, lifestyle choices, and environmental factors can all make these changes more visible.
How to Eliminate Eye Bags With Lifestyle Changes
Improving sleep habits often helps reduce swelling under the eyes, so aim for consistent rest each night. Limit salt in the diet to prevent fluid retention, drink adequate water to support circulation, and apply cool compresses in the morning to temporarily decrease swelling. Protect the skin from the Arizona sun with sunglasses and sunscreen, since UV exposure weakens elasticity and makes dark circles more noticeable.
You can also avoid smoking and manage allergies, since both can increase fluid buildup and irritation. While these changes improve the appearance of the skin, some people still need professional options like our under-eye bag treatments.
How to Remove Baggy Eyes with Professional Treatments
Dermal Fillers
Dermal fillers add support to areas of volume loss beneath the eyes, where hollows can make swelling and shadowing appear worse. By placing filler carefully into the tear trough, you can smooth the transition between the lower eyelid and the cheek, reducing the look of hollowing that exaggerates puffy eyes. While the effect is temporary, it can last for several months.
Erbium Laser Resurfacing
Erbium laser resurfacing removes damaged outer layers of skin while also stimulating fresh collagen growth. Tightening the skin beneath the eyes and improving texture can reduce the crepey appearance that makes swelling more noticeable. Erbium technology is one of the most precise puffy eye treatments available and is great for those who want to refresh the skin and reduce swelling at the same time.
Hydrafacial®
A Hydrafacial deeply cleanses, exfoliates, and hydrates the skin, which can brighten the under-eye area and temporarily lessen swelling. Using gentle suction, the device clears away impurities while infusing serums that deliver moisture and antioxidants. The cooling effect can bring visible relief from eye puffiness. While results are not permanent, this facial offers a healthy glow and a fresh look, especially when combined with other treatments.
RF Microneedling
Radiofrequency microneedling with our Secret RF device delivers controlled heat into the skin through tiny channels created by fine needles. The combination of mechanical and thermal stimulation promotes collagen remodeling, which leads to firmer skin beneath the eyes. As the tissue tightens, swelling and sagging become less prominent. Multiple sessions are often recommended to achieve the best outcome, and improvements can continue to develop for months.
What to Expect From Your Under-Eye Bag Treatment
Consultation and planning: During your first visit, we examine the under-eye area carefully and talk with you about your goals. We explain which treatment options we recommend and help you set realistic expectations to give you a clear idea of what your results may look like.
During the treatment: Most under-eye options are performed in-office and involve little discomfort. Depending on the method, we may apply topical numbing to keep you comfortable. All of these treatments are quick, and you can return to your day without too many restrictions.
Recovery and results: Mild swelling, redness, or tenderness may occur, but these effects improve within days. Some treatments provide immediate changes, while others continue to build results gradually as the skin tightens or collagen develops.
