Whilst we usually blame a busy lifestyle or a lack of sleep for our dark circles, there are actually several factors that contribute to the formation of eye bags. 

From vitamin deficiencies and dehydration to hyperpigmentation and natural aging, dark circles happen to all of us, and in this blog, we will break down exactly how to get rid of bags under eyes.

When looking at treating under eye circles, it’s helpful to determine the root cause by seeking professional advice, from there they will be able to help determine an effective treatment plan that will work for you. 

How to Get Rid of Eye Bags

When looking at how to get rid of bags under eyes, there are several aesthetic treatments that can help. However, before selecting one you should book a consultation with our experts here at Skin NV, they will be able to assess your skin and determine exactly which treatment or combination will be the most beneficial for your individual needs.  

Tear Trough Fillers 

Due to their versatility, dermal fillers have rapidly become one of the most popular aesthetic treatments on the market. 

Now, as we age naturally the skin can lose volume which unfortunately can lead to dark circles under the eyes, making the eyes appear more hollow or tired. 

When looking at how to get rid of bags under eyes, your aesthetic doctor may suggest tear trough filler. As dermal filler has a unique ability to restore lost volume on the face, they are highly effective in reducing the appearance of dark circles.

Chemical Exfoliation 

Chemical exfoliation, otherwise known as a chemical peel, is one of the most effective treatments available methods on the market, and not just for treating dark undereye circles.

The outermost layer of the skin often contains dead, and damaged cells. If you suffer from under-eye bags, this layer may also contain pigment cells. This is very common in those with darker skin tones, and therefore more melanin within the skin. 

Chemical peels work by pushing clinically proven active ingredients into the skin to gently remove dead skin cells by dissolving the bonds that hold them in place. This reveals new healthy cells and allows them to receive oxygen and absorb nutrients from topical skincare. This, in turn, helps to brighten the undereye and minimise the appearance of dark circles.

At-Home Treatments 

Following a thorough skin examination, our experts will assess your dark circles, and design a bespoke topical skincare routine that will address discolouration and support overall skin health. 

Your package will consist of a combination of active ingredients, tailored specifically to your needs and an SPF to further protect the skin from pigmentation caused by the sun. 

To ensure you achieve the best results from your skin care programme, our experts will advise you on how to apply, and layer each product properly for maximum effect. 

Your package may also contain our Cyspera mask that can be used alongside your prescribed skincare. Containing an ingredient known as cysteamine, the Cyspera mask helps to lighten pigmentation. As cysteamine is naturally present within the skin tissues, it is well tolerated by the body and highly effective in hyperpigmentation treatment.

Bespoke Treatment Package

Now, because everybody’s skin is different, you may need a combination of treatments to effectively address your dark circles. Here at Skin NV, we have created a bespoke package that gives you access to a number of effective treatment solutions, depending on your needs. 

The package includes:

• Chemical exfoliation 

• Mesotherapy

• Polynucleotide Injectables 

During your initial consultation, your aesthetic doctor will analyse your skin, and recommend a tailored package that will suit you, and help to combat your dark circles.
