Hooded Eyes/Puffy Eyelids

Causes

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

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

Affected groups

Asians tend to have hooded eyes or puffy eyelids.

Treatment

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. This makes the 3DEEP a popular treatment for improving sagging, wrinkles, and dark circles around the eyes. The improvements gained from this treatment is equivalent to 80% improvement from surgical treatment, which explains its huge popularity across the globe. A unique multisource phase-controlled technology with multiple global reputative certifications, providing a high standard treatment delivery.

How does it work?

iFine utilises its core technology “3DEEP radio frequency technology” and energetic interaction among multiple electrodes. The emitted energy from the electrodes can penetrate 1.8 mm depth of the skin, which can reach the deeper layer of the eye skin to cause the collagen to shrink, stimulate regeneration of new collagen, produce new elastin and hyaluronic acid. Improvements will be seen after the treatment such as tightened and firmed skin, reduced appearance of wrinkles, brighter and lifted eyes, refined eye contour, smoothed eye bags and dark circles under eyes. The treatment will give you long lasting and natural results in restoring open, refreshed and natural looking eyes.

The high temperature will stimulate the self-healing mechanism. A large amount of collagen in the dermis will be regenerated, resulting in an instant firming effect and reduction of the appearance of wrinkles.
