Hooded Eyes Treatment in Scottsdale, AZ
Lift and Refresh the Eye Area. Improve Heavy-Looking Eyelids with Non-Surgical Rejuvenation.
Hooded eyes are one of the most common signs of aging around the eyes and occur when excess skin, tissue, or decreased skin elasticity causes the upper eyelid to fold over the natural crease of the eye. While some people are naturally born with hooded eyelids due to genetics, many patients notice their eyes becoming heavier-looking over time as collagen production decreases and skin begins to loosen.
At Natural Radiance Aesthetics & Wellness, we help patients restore a more open, refreshed appearance with customized eye rejuvenation treatments. Depending on your anatomy and goals, treatment options may include AGNES RF Brow Lift, Plasmage® eyelid tightening, RF Microneedling, Botox® brow lift, medical-grade skincare, and when appropriate, surgical consultation for more advanced eyelid concerns.
Our goal is always to enhance your natural features while maintaining a refreshed, natural-looking result.
What Causes Hooded Eyes?
Hooded eyes can develop due to a combination of genetics, aging, and changes in the delicate skin around the eyes.
Common causes include:
- Genetics and natural eye shape
- Decreased collagen and elastin production
- Aging skin
- Loss of skin elasticity
- Sun damage
- Repeated facial movement
- Brow position changes
- Volume loss around the eyes
- Lifestyle factors
As collagen decreases over time, the upper eyelid skin can become thinner, looser, and heavier, creating a more tired or aged appearance.

What Are Hooded Eyes?
Hooded eyes occur when extra skin or soft tissue sits over the natural eyelid crease, causing less visible eyelid space.
Common signs include:
- Upper eyelid skin folding over the crease
- Eyes appearing smaller or more tired
- Makeup transferring or becoming difficult to apply
- Difficulty creating visible eyelid definition
- Heavy-looking eyelids
- A lower or flatter brow appearance
Hooded eyes can occur at any age, but they often become more noticeable as the skin loses firmness.
Hooded Eyes vs. Droopy Eyelids
Although they can look similar, hooded eyes and droopy eyelids are different concerns.
Hooded Eyes
Hooded eyes are caused by excess skin or tissue covering the natural eyelid crease. This can be genetic or develop with aging.
Droopy Eyelids (Ptosis)
Droopy eyelids occur when the eyelid muscle itself weakens, causing the eyelid margin to sit lower over the eye.
During your consultation, we evaluate the underlying cause to determine which treatment approach will provide the best results.
Treatments for Hooded Eyes
Every patient’s eye anatomy is unique. At Natural Radiance, we evaluate your eyelid skin, brow position, collagen levels, and aesthetic goals to create a customized rejuvenation plan.
AGNES RF Brow Lift & Skin Tightening
AGNES RF is an advanced radiofrequency treatment that uses precise energy delivery to remodel tissue, stimulate collagen production, and improve skin tightening in targeted areas.
For patients experiencing heavy-looking brows, early hooding, or changes around the upper eye area, an AGNES RF Brow Lift may help create a more lifted and refreshed appearance without surgery.
Unlike traditional skin tightening treatments, AGNES RF allows providers to precisely target specific areas of concern while encouraging collagen remodeling and tissue tightening.
AGNES RF Brow Lift may help improve:
- Heavy or lowered brows
- Mild hooded eyelids
- Upper eyelid skin laxity
- Brow asymmetry
- Tired-looking eyes
- Loss of definition around the upper face
- Fine lines around the eyes
By stimulating collagen production and tightening targeted tissue, AGNES RF can help support a more elevated brow position and improve the overall appearance of the eye area.
Many patients choose AGNES RF Brow Lift as a non-surgical alternative or complement to other eye rejuvenation treatments such as Plasmage®, RF Microneedling, Botox® brow lift, and medical-grade skincare.
Plasmage® Eye Tightening
Plasmage® is a non-surgical plasma treatment designed specifically for delicate areas where skin tightening is needed.
It works by creating controlled plasma energy that encourages skin contraction and remodeling.
Plasmage® can help improve:
Plasmage® is an excellent option for patients who want to refresh the eye area without surgery and have mild to moderate skin laxity.
RF Microneedling
RF Microneedling combines controlled microneedling with radiofrequency energy to stimulate collagen production deep within the skin.
It may help improve:
As collagen production increases, the skin can appear smoother and tighter over time.
Botox® Brow Lift
For some patients, heavy-looking eyes are partially caused by brow position and muscle activity.
Strategic Botox® or Xeomin® placement can relax specific muscles that pull the brow downward, allowing a subtle lift and more open appearance.
A Botox brow lift may help improve:
Results are subtle and designed to maintain natural facial expression.
Dermal Fillers for Eye Rejuvenation
Volume loss around the eyes and temples can contribute to a tired appearance.
In carefully selected patients, dermal fillers may help restore support and improve:
Proper placement is key to achieving natural-looking results.
Medical-Grade Skincare
The skin around the eyes is delicate and requires targeted care.
A customized skincare routine may include:
Consistent skincare helps protect collagen and maintain treatment results.
Surgical Options for Hooded Eyes
Some patients have more advanced eyelid skin laxity that may not respond fully to non-surgical treatments.
For patients with significant excess skin or functional concerns, surgical options such as blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery)may be considered.
During your consultation, Dr. Scott can evaluate your anatomy and discuss whether a non-surgical or surgical approach is best for your goals.
Why Am I Losing Inches But Not Weight?
Weight is only one measure of progress.
Some patients notice changes in:
- Clothing size
- Body measurements
- Muscle tone
- Body composition
while the scale changes more slowly.
Building muscle, reducing fat, and improving body composition can all contribute to a healthier transformation even when the number on the scale does not change quickly.

Frequently Asked Questions About Hooded Eyes Treatment
