Target Area and Specific Concerns

Thermage eye treatment specifically targets the delicate skin around the orbital bone, including the upper and lower eyelids, crow’s feet, and brow area.  It is used to address the following common concerns:

Drooping Eyelids

The skin loses elasticity as we age, causing loose skin in the upper eyelids, a condition known as hooding. Thermage may stimulate collagen production, which could reduce the appearance of drooping eyelids.

Fine Lines and Wrinkles

The delicate skin around the eyes is prone to developing fine lines and wrinkles, such as crow’s feet at the outer corners of the eyes. Thermage’s radiofrequency energy is designed to target these areas and may contribute to smoother, firmer skin.

Loss of Skin Elasticity

Over time, the skin loses supportive collagen and elastin proteins, leading to reduced elasticity and the appearance of under-eye bags and hollows. Thermage may stimulate the production of new collagen and elastin, which could help improve the appearance of plumpness and support to the eye area.

Thermage Eye Treatment Process

Consultation

Our doctor will take the time to understand your concerns and what you hope to achieve with the Thermage treatment. We’ll then assess your suitability for the procedure by evaluating the skin around your eyes, discussing your medical history, and considering any previous treatments you’ve had. This evaluation helps reduce the risk of complications and ensures that the chosen approach aligns with your aesthetic goals.

 

By the end of your consultation, you’ll have a clear understanding of how Thermage works, the expected outcomes, and any potential risks or side effects.

Treatment Procedure

  1. Preparation: A temporary grid will be applied to map out the treatment area.
  2. Numbing: The area is cooled with cryogen to protect the surface layers, making the treatment more comfortable. A cornea eyeshield will be placed to protect the eyes.
  3. Treatment Execution:
    • Our doctor will use the Thermage device, placing it against your skin to deliver short pulses of energy. Each pulse is accompanied by a brief cooling sensation to protect the skin’s surface. 
    • The radiofrequency (RF) energy heats the deep layers of your skin, stimulating collagen production and tightening existing collagen fibres.
  4. Cooling and Monitoring: Throughout the procedure, our doctor will monitor your comfort level and adjust the intensity of the treatment as needed.
  5. Completion: The treatment typically lasts between 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the area being treated.

Can Thermage Eye Treatment Be Carried Out in Areas That Have Undergone Laser Treatments?

Yes, Thermage eye treatment can be safely performed on areas that have undergone previous laser treatments. However, it’s always important to consult with a doctor first.

Is Thermage Eye Suitable for All Skin Types?

Thermage eye treatment is generally suitable for all skin types, including darker skin tones. A consultation with a qualified medical professional is recommended to assess whether Thermage is appropriate for your individual skin concerns and treatment goals.

Results and Post-Treatment Care

Following the treatment, it is essential to follow specific aftercare instructions to ensure optimal results and minimise any potential side effects:

  • Moisturise: Apply a gentle moisturiser to keep the skin hydrated.
  • Sun Protection: Use sunscreen with a high SPF to protect the treated area from sun exposure.
  • Avoid Irritants: Steer clear of harsh skincare products (like retinoids or acids) for at least a week post-treatment.
  • Gentle Cleansing: Cleanse the area gently, avoiding scrubbing or using hot water.
  • Hydration: Drink plenty of water to support skin health and collagen production.

After the procedure, your eyes may feel slightly numb, so we recommend avoiding contact lenses until the numbness wears off. You can wear glasses in the meantime.

How soon will I see Thermage results around the eyes?

While some patients may notice subtle results within 2-4 weeks, the most obvious improvements are typically seen between 2-6 months after treatment, as it takes time for collagen to rebuild.

How long do the effects from Thermage last?

With proper care and maintenance, results from Thermage can last 1-2 years.

Will my skin look natural after Thermage?

Yes, Thermage eye treatment typically delivers a subtle, gradual improvement in skin tightness and smoothness around the eyes without an overly dramatic or artificial appearance.

Is there any downtime required for recovery?

No, Thermage eye treatment requires minimal downtime. Since it’s a non-surgical procedure that works beneath the skin’s surface, most patients can resume their normal activities immediately after treatment.

Are there any side effects with this treatment?

Thermage eye treatment is generally safe, with only minor swelling or temporary redness on the treatment area that usually dissipates within 24 hours.

Technology Used

Lux Aesthetic Clinic offers Thermage eye treatments designed to address skin laxity around the eyes. The specific Thermage device used is engineered to deliver radiofrequency energy in a controlled manner, promoting collagen production in targeted areas. This non-invasive treatment is popular among those seeking to improve skin tightness and reduce fine lines.

Thermage works by gently heating the deeper layers of the skin, stimulating the body’s natural healing processes. Over time, this may result in a smoother, more refreshed appearance. Treatment duration and experience can vary based on individual skin conditions.

In certain cases, complementary procedures like dermal fillers may be recommended, depending on the patient’s goals and overall skin condition. These options are determined during a personalised consultation, ensuring that the treatment plan is tailored to each individual’s needs.
