Assessment before any treatment

What causes bags under the eyes?

Fat under the eye pushing forward as the supporting tissue weakens with age.
Fluid retention overnight, after salty food or alcohol, or with allergies.
Inherited tendency to prominent under-eye fat pads.
Thin, lax lower-lid skin that makes a bag look more pronounced.
Less often, thyroid or kidney conditions that cause swelling.

Puffy eyes or eye bags?

Puffiness changes through the day and from day to day: worse on waking, after a salty meal or a late night, and better by the afternoon. A fat bag is there all the time and looks the same morning and evening. Cold compresses, sleep, less salt and alcohol, and treating hay fever help puffiness; they do not change a fat bag.

What treats under-eye bags

A pronounced fat bag is treated surgically with a lower-lid blepharoplasty, which a surgeon assesses. For a mild bag with a hollow beneath it, some practitioners use filler to smooth the step between lid and cheek. Polynucleotides improve the skin over the area. An aesthetic practitioner should tell you when surgery is the better route.

When to see a GP about swollen eyes

See your GP if swelling is new, on one side only, painful, red or itchy, comes with changes in your vision, or appears with swelling elsewhere such as your ankles, which can point to a medical cause. These need a diagnosis before any cosmetic treatment.

Eye bag assessment at UNTIL Marylebone and UNTIL Soho

A practitioner at either club can tell you whether your under-eyes show fat, fluid, thin skin or a mix, and whether injections, lifestyle changes or a surgical opinion suits you. Where thin skin over a mild bag is part of the picture, polynucleotides cost from £220 a session at the practices that publish them, checked on 29 September 2026. Send an enquiry to arrange the assessment.

Recommended treatments

Polynucleotide injections Only for thin, crepey skin over a mild bag. Polynucleotides do not remove fat or fluid; they improve the skin, which can make a small bag look softer. The assessment should say plainly whether you would benefit.

FAQ

Under eye bags
questions answered

Can polynucleotides get rid of eye bags?

No. Eye bags are usually fat pushing forward, and polynucleotides do not remove fat or fluid. They thicken thin skin, which can make a mild bag look a little softer. London Polynucleotides connects you with practitioners who will say honestly whether injections or a surgical opinion suits you.

Why are my eye bags worse in the morning?

Fluid collects around the eyes while you lie flat, especially after salt, alcohol or a late night, and drains through the day. Morning-only swelling is puffiness rather than a fat bag. London Polynucleotides suggests sleeping with your head slightly raised and a cold compress on waking.

Do eye bags need surgery?

Not always. Mild bags and puffiness often respond to lifestyle changes, and some people are helped by filler or skin treatments. A pronounced, permanent fat bag is usually a surgical question. London Polynucleotides connects you with practitioners who can tell you which applies before you spend anything.
