all about eye bags in amsterdam
Looking for an under-eye bag treatment that actually works? Puffy eyes or little bags under your eyes can make you look tired, even after a great night’s sleep. You’re not alone. Under-eye bags form when fluid or fat builds up in the delicate area beneath the eyes. As we get older, this area naturally loses firmness, so fat and fluid become more visible.
Dark circles, caused by pigmentation or tiny blood vessels showing through the skin, can make the effect even stronger. Genetics, lack of sleep, salt intake and skin ageing often play a part. The good news? There are effective treatments that can refresh and firm the skin around your eyes. Think a brighter, more rested look that still looks like you.
curious what we can do for you?
what are under-eye bags and dark circles?
Several concerns can develop around the eyes, and they’re often confused with one another. Fluid bags are temporary swellings, usually caused by fluid retention or reduced lymphatic drainage. Fat bags, on the other hand, are caused by small fat pads that move forward over the years, which makes them more permanent. On top of that, you may see dark circles, caused by pigmentation, thin skin or shadows from volume loss under the eyes. You can read more about puffy eyes and their causes.

treatment methods at uma clinic
Every under-eye bag treatment at UMA Clinic is tailored to the cause of your concern. Depending on your skin, we may recommend one of the following options, or a combination.
hyaluronic acid fillers (tear trough)
Under-eye fillers correct volume loss, reduce shadows under the eyes and can make dark circles much less visible.
prf
PRF is a natural treatment that uses growth factors from your own blood: 100% from your own body. It stimulates collagen production and improves skin structure. Over time, the skin becomes thicker and firmer, and discolouration becomes less visible.
polynucleotides
Polynucleotides are bioactive molecules that help repair the skin from deep within. They improve elasticity, hydration and cell renewal, so fine lines and dullness around the eyes can gradually fade.
laser
The CO2 laser is a powerful skin-resurfacing treatment. It creates tiny areas of controlled damage in the skin, which stimulates healing and the production of new collagen. Around the eyes, it can soften fine lines, improve skin texture and target discolouration. The result? Smoother, firmer, younger-looking skin.
microneedling
Microneedling creates microscopic channels in the skin that activate its natural repair process. This improves skin texture and stimulates collagen and elastin. Under the eyes, it helps firm the skin, soften fine lines and fade small pigment spots.
