What is an Eye Bag?
Dark circles, wrinkles, or a tired appearance often accompany eye bags.
Eye bags are usually times difficult to deal with as they may make an individual appear tired and result in people consulting aestheticians or making certain lifestyle adjustments.
One may ask the doctor: “What are the treatments or how to remove eye bags?” The fact is, removing the fats under the eye poses more long-term side effects that are detrimental to the face structure.
What causes eye bags?
Under-eye bags are mild swelling or puffiness under the eye. The tissue structures and muscles supporting your eyelids weaken as you age. The skin may start to sag, and fat that is normally confined to the area around the eye can move into the area below the eyes.
One may ask the doctor: “What are the treatments or how to remove eye bags?”
The fact is that removing the fats under the eye through surgical procedures poses more long-term side effects that are detrimental to the face structure. Opting for non-surgical treatments provides advantages like minimal invasiveness and reduced risks of long-term side effects that may impact facial structure negatively.
Our non-surgical under-eye bag treatment services in Malaysia are designed to help you attain a refreshed appearance and enhance your confidence without invasive procedures.
Eye-Bag Treatment
There are several eye bag removal treatments that we provide in Clique® Clinic according to the severity of the eye bags. For mild conditions, the Twilight PRP Gel offers the regenerative properties of PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma), which are rich in growth factors to improve circulation, restructure dermis, thicken epidermis and act as a cushion to pull in all the necessary cells to create collagen and elastin (for elasticity). For medium to severe cases, it is recommended to combine your own platelets using PRP with Hyaluronic Acid. It is a remedial treatment that creates a natural scaffold to support facial structure and tissues that have lost volume or elasticity along the way.
Besides PRP, another one of the best eye bag treatments is with the Belotero® (Hyaluronic Acid) filler, which is made from hyaluronic acid that can be found naturally within your skin. The Hyaluronic acid injection helps to puff up the dents under the eye and reduce the appearance of bags by providing hydration and volume.

Dark Eye Circle
Dark eye circles, also known as periorbital hyperpigmentation, refer to the darkening of the skin around the eyes. While they are usually not a serious medical concern, dark eye circles can affect one’s appearance and self-confidence.
If you get plenty of sleep and still have dark circles under your eyes, that’s not unusual. Fatigue isn’t the only reason for dark circle under your eyes. What appear to be dark circles under your eyes are sometimes just shadows cast by puffy eyelids or hollows under your eyes that develop as a normal part of aging.
Dark Eye Circle Causes

What appears to be dark circles under your eyes are sometimes just shadows cast by puffy eyelids or hollows under your eyes that develop as a normal part of ageing.
- Fatigue
- Pigmentation irregularities, a particular concern for people of colour, especially Asians
- Rubbing or scratching your eyes
- Sun exposure, which prompts your body to produce more melanin – the pigment that gives skin its colour
- Thinning skin and loss of fat and collagen, which is common as you age. This makes the reddish-blue blood vessels under your eyes more obvious.
Dark Eye Circle Treatment
It is a common mistake to use dark circle eye cream and dark eye circle serum to treat your dark eye circles. These products are used for prevention and post-treatment care.
There are several ways to get rid of dark circles below or around the eyes. Every treatment would depend on the causes of your dark eye circles.

FAQ
Eye bag removal creams are used for preventive measures rather than a treatment. It is recommended for eye bag patients to get proper treatments early to enhance the efficacy of subsequent maintenance products or treatments.
Don’t wait until it is too late to treat eye bags. The treatment cost will be minimal if you treat early and maintain a better eye-care regime with our doctors’ advice.
Treatments such as topical creams, cold compresses, and lifestyle changes may offer temporary solutions. Surgical procedures provide a longer-lasting result, but factors such as ageing and lifestyle may lead to the reappearance of eye bags over time.
Choosing the right treatment for eye bags depends on various factors, including the severity of the condition, your overall health, lifestyle, budget, and personal preferences. Contact us to speak to our specialist about the most suitable treatment and management for longer-lasting results.
Improving sleep quality, stress management, hydration, reducing salt consumption, and quitting smoking can reduce fluid retention and gradually enhance the appearance of eye bags. However, complete elimination may not occur, particularly in cases influenced by genetics or ageing.
Non-surgical eye bag treatments offer minimal downtime. Procedures like topical creams, cold compresses, injectable fillers, and laser therapy usually permit an immediate or quick return to regular activities. While mild swelling or bruising may occur temporarily post-treatment, these effects typically resolve within days. Prior to any procedures, our healthcare professionals will walk you through the expectations and management post-treatment.
Regular consumption of a diet high in salt or highly processed food can worsen fluid retention, intensifying the visibility of eye bags. Conversely, adopting a balanced diet filled with fruits, vegetables, and ample hydration can reduce puffiness and enhance the health of the skin.
Eye massages can temporarily improve circulation and reduce fluid retention, potentially diminishing the appearance of eye bags. However, long-term effectiveness may vary, and results may be temporary.
Dark circles are discolouration under the eyes that may result from genetics or lack of sleep. However, eye bags are typically caused by fluid accumulation or fat deposits.
Dark circles cannot always be permanently removed, but with the right treatment, they may be gradually lightened. Contact us and speak to our specialist about the best treatment for your specific condition and preference.
Dark eye circles may worsen with age due to factors like thinning skin, loss of collagen, and increased blood vessel visibility, but lifestyle habits and skincare can mitigate their severity.
Dark circle eye treatments may take several weeks to months to show noticeable results, depending on the treatment type and individual response. Consistency in the application or procedure adherence is crucial for effectiveness. Your treatment provider will provide you with post-treatment care instructions to follow for an optimal healing period and to maximise the result.
