What are Hooded Eyes?

Hooded eyes occur when skin from around the brow bone becomes saggy and droops over the eyelid. This can make eyes look heavy and tired, as well as changing the shape of a person’s eye. In fact, as the name suggests, this droopy skin creates a ‘hood’ over the eyelid.

The main cause of hooded eyes is genetics and this skin concern does tend to run in families. Ageing does also play a part as skin becomes saggier over time due to a natural decline in elasticity.

Anyone who spends excessive amounts of time in the sun, without sun protection, may also experience saggier skin as the ultraviolet light from the sun’s rays can damage collagen and elastin, which are needed to keep skin firm and elastic.

Despite hooded eyes being primarily associated with genetics, there are treatments available to lift the skin around the eyelids and lessen the appearance of hooded eyes, allowing you to see your natural eye shape. Get in touch to find out how we can help.
