Dr Leah Clinics are able to offer non surgical, minimally invasive, safe treatment options for each of these concerns, to give you an improved and refreshed eye appearance.

Ageing is the most common cause of tired looking eye, this is largely due to loss of collagen and fat padding which occurs with age. Collagen is the key part of connective tissues in the muscles, skin, and other body areas and its reduced levels result in loss of tone and elasticity of the skin and the associated muscles, leading to sagging and the appearance of lines and wrinkles. As the skin under the eyes is really thin, such sagging and fine lines are often more prominent under and around the eyes. Sagging and weakened skin around the eyes can trigger the development of a hollow pouch under the eyes, known as tear trough hollowing. The fat pads present under the eyes can then descend to fill up the area creating the look of under eye bags. Eye bags are often more visible in the mornings, giving the appearance of puffy under eyes due to fluid will have pooled overnight. With age lymph drainage in the under eye area becomes more sluggish and under eye bags are often a mixture of the descended fat pads / herniated fat pad plus swelling due to sluggish lymph drainage.

Dark circles under the eyes, puffiness, fine lines under the eyes, and eye bags can be exacerbated by any of the following; allergies, fluid retention, smoking, infections, thyroid pathology, ocular fatigue, hereditary factors, and lack of sleep. In most cases, eye bags are harmless and only a cosmetic issue.

At Dr Leah Clinic we have a number of non-surgical solutions to leave you with smooth under eye skin as well as de-puffing the under eye area and lifting hooded eye lids for an overall rejuvenated eye look.
