People can suffer from puffiness or dark circles under their eyes. This certainly does not have to be the result of lack of sleep. In fact, some people always suffer from permanent puffiness or dark circles. Hereditary predisposition may be one of the causes.

It is important to know that there is a substantial difference between puffiness and dark circles under the eyes. Sometimes a person is mistakenly thought to be suffering from dark circles, when it is actually puffiness. In this case, we do see dark circles, but this is actually the shadow of the puffiness. To be sure what you are suffering from, we at Cosmetic Clinics always schedule a free intake first to determine which treatment will benefit you the most. Will you benefit from a tear duct filler or just a skin booster?

Causes of puffiness and dark circles under the eyes can be a loss of volume in the cheekbones, changes in the fat balance around the eyes, or an excess of fat, moisture or skin may have developed later in life. Despite all these different causes, they do have something in common; from all of them you start to look tired. This is a shame, of course, especially since your eyes play such an important role in your facial expression!

Permanent bags are often bags of fluid, bags of fat or a result of excess skin under the eyes. At Cosmetic Clinics, we only do non-surgical lower eyelid surgery. When treating bags or dark circles, we use fillers or Skinboosters such as RRS Eyes. With these we can reduce puffiness under your eyes without surgery.
