Refresh the Eyes
The eye area is one of the first to reveal signs of ageing, fatigue, and lifestyle stress. Issues such as under-eye hollows, dark circles, eyelid hooding, and loose skin can make you look tired even when you feel rested. At Line Aesthetics Clinic, we use safe, non-surgical treatments to restore volume, tighten skin, and rejuvenate the eye contour for a fresher, more vibrant look.

Eyelid Hooding & Loose Skin (Dermatochalasis)
Eyelid hooding — occurs when excess skin and sometimes fat accumulate around the upper eyelids. This creates a drooping or hooded appearance, which may be purely cosmetic or, in some cases, affect vision by obstructing the peripheral visual field.
Causes
Aging
- Natural reduction in collagen and elastin leads to thinner, less elastic skin.
- Connective tissues weaken, allowing skin and fat to sag.
Genetics
Some people are naturally predisposed to having hooded eyes or looser eyelid skin.
Lifestyle Factors
- Smoking and sun exposure accelerate skin aging.
- Weight fluctuations can affect skin laxity.
Common Symptoms
- Excess skin folding over the upper eyelid, sometimes touching the lash line.
- A tired or heavy feeling around the eyes.
- Reduced side (peripheral) vision.
- Difficulty applying eye makeup due to skin folds.
Treatment Options
Surgical
- Blepharoplasty (Eyelid Surgery): The gold-standard treatment for hooded eyelids. Removes excess skin and fat, improving both appearance and — when needed — vision. Results are typically long-lasting.
Non-Surgical
- Collagen Stimulators & Dermal Fillers: Can improve skin firmness and restore volume around the brow area, offering subtle rejuvenation.
- Botox: Lifts the brow slightly, reduces wrinkles, and can help lessen the hooded look without surgery.
