Concern guide

Hooded & Heavy Eyelids

Upper-eyelid heaviness may reflect inherited eye shape, skin laxity, brow position or a medical eyelid problem.

Understanding

About this concern

Hooded eyes occur when skin or soft tissue folds over the upper-eyelid crease. The appearance may be inherited or become more noticeable as skin and brow tissues change with age.

Cosmetic treatment is only appropriate after excluding issues such as a drooping eyelid, visual-field obstruction, marked asymmetry or sudden change, which need medical or eye-specialist assessment.

Treatments for hooded & heavy eyelids

A consultation is the starting point: the most appropriate option depends on what is creating the concern, your goals and your medical history.

Plasma Eye Lift

Plasma Eye Lift

From £99

Plasma eye lift treatment is focused on the delicate upper-eye area. Eye shape, skin excess, medical history and the risk of pigment change or scarring all need careful assessment.

Why consider itThe most specifically targeted option when upper-eyelid skin is the main concern.

Cold Atmospheric Plasma (CAP) Treatment

Cold atmospheric plasma is offered for selected skin concerns around the upper eyelid area. A practitioner should first establish whether the issue is active, inflammatory, textural or structural.

Why consider itA targeted option where surface condition is central to the concern around the upper eyelid area.

Before you decide

Things to consider

The eye area is delicate and carries risks including swelling, pigment change, scarring and unsatisfactory lid shape. Non-surgical plasma treatments create a more limited change than blepharoplasty. Practitioner training, eye protection and conservative treatment planning are essential.

Common questions

Hooded & Heavy Eyelids FAQs

What causes hooded eyelids?

Inherited eye shape, skin laxity, brow position and age-related tissue change can all contribute.

When should eyelid heaviness be medically checked?

Sudden drooping, one-sided change, eye symptoms or any obstruction of vision should be assessed by an appropriate healthcare professional.

Is a plasma eye lift the same as blepharoplasty?

No. A non-surgical plasma treatment cannot remove or reposition tissue in the same way as eyelid surgery.
