FAQsAs we age, changes in the skin’s elasticity can lead to a common concern known as hooded eyelids. For many individuals, this excess skin on the upper eyelid can cause a droopy appearance, which may impact vision and overall comfort. At Shire Aesthetics, we offer non-surgical solutions tailored to address hooded eyelids, helping to achieve a more defined upper eyelid area without the need for surgical procedures.
Understanding Hooded Eyelids
Hooded eyelids occur when excess skin develops on the upper eyelids, often creating a droopy or sagging appearance. This can be attributed to factors such as natural ageing, where the skin loses elasticity and environmental influences like sun exposure, which accelerates this process.
Although upper eyelid surgery, also known as upper blepharoplasty, is a common method for addressing this issue, there are effective non-surgical options for those seeking alternative solutions.
Common Causes of Hooded Eyelids
Hooded eyelids and droopy eyelids can be caused by a range of factors that contribute to changes in the upper lid area. These causes include:
- Ageing: Over time, skin loses elasticity, leading to sagging eyelids as the upper eyelid droops.
- Facial Expressions: Repetitive movement of the brow and eyelid can contribute to drooping and hooded eyes.
- Genetics: Some individuals naturally have hooded eyes or thin skin on the upper eyelids, making them more prone to developing hooding as they age.
- Environmental Exposure: Factors like sun exposure and lifestyle habits can accelerate the skin’s ageing process, causing the upper eyelids to sag.
Treatment Options for Hooded Eyelids
At Shire Aesthetics, we offer different non-surgical approaches to treat hooded eyelids. During your consultation, our team will evaluate your upper eyelid area and discuss the most suitable treatment options based on your skin type and aesthetic goals.
Plasma Pen
The Plasma Pen is another non-surgical option for treating hooded eyelids, working by delivering plasma energy directly to the thin skin of the upper eyelid. This approach creates a tightening effect, making it ideal for addressing excess skin in the upper lid region.
The Plasma Pen’s application can effectively reduce sagging eyelids by encouraging natural collagen regeneration, improving both skin elasticity and eyelid skin texture. This treatment for hooded eyelids is particularly beneficial for those with mild to moderate eyelid hooding, as it offers a lift in the upper eyelid without requiring surgical procedures.
How Much Does Hooded Eyelids Treatment Cost?
The cost of non-surgical treatments for hooded eyelids varies based on the treatment type and the number of sessions required to achieve optimal results. At Shire Aesthetics, we personalise each treatment plan to align with the unique needs of your eyelid skin, providing a tailored approach that aims to reduce hooded eyelids effectively.

FAQs
If you have any more questions about our hooded eyelids treatment in Sydney or any of our other services, please don’t hesitate to contact us today. In the meantime, you can find our FAQs below that may provide the additional information you’re looking for.
What causes hooded upper eyelids?
Hooded upper eyelids are commonly caused by natural ageing, which leads to a reduction in skin elasticity. Hooded eyes tend to become more noticeable over time due to factors like genetics, lifestyle and repetitive facial expressions.
Is a droopy eyelid the same as hooded eyes?
While both conditions can create a similar appearance, a droopy eyelid may result from eyelid ptosis, a condition where the muscles in the eyelid weaken. Hooded eyes, however, typically involve excess skin on the upper lid without muscle involvement.
Does treating hooded eyelids always involve removing excess skin?
Not necessarily. Non-surgical options like Plasma Pen offers alternatives to traditional hooded eyelid surgery or upper lid blepharoplasty, helping to lift and tighten the skin without removing it directly.
What is a Botox brow lift?
A Botox brow lift is a non-surgical treatment that aims to lift the brow area by relaxing specific muscles. This technique can reduce the appearance of droopy or hooded eyes by creating a more open eye area. While it doesn’t directly treat hooded eyelid skin, it may complement other treatments for those seeking a subtle lift in the brow region.
