Hooded Eyes/Puffy Eyelids

Causes of hooded eyes

Hooded eyes can be inherited or acquired. In general, it is caused by the underlying fat tissue of the eyelids and surrounding the eyes.

1. The lower position of orbital septal fat or overgrowth of orbital septal fat may cause hooded eyes in young people.

2. Overgrowth of browbones could lead to hooded eyes.

3. When hooded eyes happen on elderly, it is usually caused by ageing and not the overgrowth of orbital septal fat. Therefore, the surgery of elderly hooded eyes should be conservative and not remove all septal fat.

4. Lacrimal glands can be related to the hooded eyes. An inherited or acquired prolapse of lacrimal gland can cause hooded eyes. Ageing and crying too much stimulate the prolapse of lacrimal gland.;

5. A thick layer of deep fat tissue on the upper eyelids will develop hooded eyes, which troubles 10% of the population.

6. Edema. Having salty food or too much water the night before will cause edema (body including eyelids) the next morning.

7. Edema caused by poor sleep patterns, endocrine disorders, liver and kidney diseases, etc., can lead to edema of the upper eyelids.

Symptoms of hooded eyes

Three types of hooded eyes/puffy eyelids: fat-type, muscle-type, and ageing-type.

Treatment for hooded eyes

A.IFINE RF Eye Lifting Treatment

What is it?

The iFine handpiece is specifically designed for the treatment of the hard-to-reach and delicate skin around the eyes. The small and well-designed handpiece allows a comprehensive and accurate treatment on the face. Unlike other handpieces and devices in the market that may leave out some hard-to-reach areas such as upper eyelids and under eyebrows, the iFine handpiece does not have this issue and will leave no areas behind.

B. THERMAGE Eye Treatment

What is THERMAGE:

THERMAGE uses radiofrequency technology to heat the dermis. The heat energy will damage the localised dermis and hence stimulate the skin self-healing process. The healing process promotes the formation and remodeling of collagens which will tighten, smoothen and lift the skin, resulting in re-contouring and slowing down the aging process.

C.  FOTONA 4D PRO – Eyes

What is FOTONA 4D PRO:

FOTONA 4D PRO is the new-generation non-invasive anti-aging laser system for a comprehensive facial rejuvenation treatment.
