What are eye bags or dark circles under the eyes?

Eye bags are swollen or saggy areas of skin under the eyes, often caused by fluid retention, skin laxity, or fat displacement. Dark circles are caused by shadowing, thin skin, or pigment accumulation around the eyes.

Although harmless, eye bags and dark circles often give a tired appearance. Depending on the cause – fluid, volume loss, or pigment – each type requires a different approach.

Causes of under-eye bags

There are several causes for the appearance of bags, fluid retention, or dark circles under the eyes:

  • Loss of volume or elasticity – collagen decreases with age, making the skin thinner.
  • Fluid retention (puffy bags) – caused by slow lymphatic drainage or salt intake.
  • Lack of sleep and stress – affect blood circulation and fluid balance.
  • Hereditary predisposition – some people genetically have more fat or pigment under their eyes.
    Skin aging – reduced connective tissue structure can cause fat to sag under the eyes.
  • Allergies or irritation – can temporarily cause fluid and dark discoloration.

Are under-eye bag treatments reimbursed?

A cosmetic treatment for under-eye bags or dark circles is generally not reimbursed by health insurance, as it is considered an aesthetic procedure. Skin therapy treatments for medical conditions (such as acne or rosacea) may sometimes be (partially) reimbursed.

Our specialists will gladly inform you honestly about the possibilities.

Frequently asked questions

What exactly are under-eye bags?

Bags under the eyes are swollen or sunken areas of skin under the eyes, caused by fluid retention, fat displacement, or skin laxity.

How can you get rid of undereye bags without surgery?

At Glow Institute, we treat undereye bags with fillers (tear trough treatment), microneedling, or Morpheus8 – effectively, safely, and without surgical intervention.

How do you get rid of deep dark circles?

Deep hollows due to volume loss are best treated with hyaluronic acid filler in the tear trough. This restores natural volume and reduces shadowing.

The price depends on the treatment: a tear trough treatment costs €350 and Morpheus8 costs €550.

Why do I get puffy eyes quickly?

Heredity, fluid retention, salt intake, and skin aging play a major role. Thin or loose skin makes under-eye bags more visible.

How can I reduce under-eye bags?

Drink enough water, sleep with your head slightly elevated, and have your skin treated with Morpheus8 to strengthen it.

Do fillers help with dark circles?

Yes, in case of volume deficit, a tear trough filler can optically reduce shadows and discolouration.

What really helps against under-eye bags?

A combination of professional treatments (such as fillers or Morpheus8) and good home care with firming eye creams offers the best results.

How long do the results last?

A tear trough filler generally lasts 9–18 months, depending on the skin and lifestyle.
