Who it’s for

  • Combined Erbium consultation assessing under-eye fat, tear troughs and skin concerns separately.
  • Eye Thermage FLX uses radiofrequency and an eye tip for periorbital wrinkles and skin firmness. Eyelid treatment requires appropriate eye protection; face tips must not be used over the eyes. It has a different purpose from filling hollows or repositioning fat. Examination distinguishes protruding fat, hollows, skin laxity, pigmentation and eyelid function. A combination is not necessary for everyone; a single treatment or another approach may suit you better.

Suitability requires an examination. Skin thickness, health and previous procedures may make a different approach more appropriate.
