Who it’s for

  • Combined Erbium consultation assessing under-eye fat, tear troughs and skin concerns separately.
  • Eye Ultherapy PRIME uses ultrasound imaging to assess brow laxity and supporting tissue, with a modest brow lift as a possible goal. Avoid the eyes, eyelids and inside the orbital rim. A shallower transducer does not make direct eyelid treatment appropriate. 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.

How it works

The Eye Ultherapy menu name does not imply direct eyelid treatment; the area and wound status require assessment.
