Pinpoint the source of the bags under your eyes

Many factors contribute to bags under your eyes, and identifying the underlying cause shapes your treatment plan. Aging is a primary factor in the development of under-eye bags. 

As you age, especially after menopause, your skin tends to thin, and collagen production slows down. The combination of thinning skin and reduced collagen levels often leads to the formation of under-eye bags.

Fluid retention (often from eating a high-sodium diet) and allergies can also lead to swelling and bags. Lack of sleep, genetics, underlying medical conditions, and unhealthy habits like smoking exacerbate can all make your bags seem worse. In these cases, you may find that addressing the root cause of the bags under your eyes (i.e., managing your allergies or cutting back on your sodium) can help improve the appearance of your eyes.

Explore your treatments for bags under your eyes

If the bags under your eyes are age-related, you might consider skin tightening treatments to boost collagen production and firm up your skin. 

Our skin tightening treatments are performed with the FDA-approved Protégé Elite. The Protégé Elite system uses radiofrequency (RF) technology to address under-eye bags on a cellular level. When the RF energy penetrates your skin's surface, it gently heats the underlying tissues responsible for the appearance of bags. 

The heat then stimulates your body’s collagen production. Because collagen is a protein that provides structural support to your skin, this treatment helps tighten and firm the skin and reduce those pesky bags over the course of a few months.

Skin tightening treatments can be used around your eyes, on your cheeks, and along your jawline. 

And the best part is that you can achieve all of this without any cosmetic surgery, incisions, or sutures.
