Treatment areas

- Eye Thermage FLX assesses wrinkles and firmness of the skin around the eyes using a dedicated tip. When treating the eyelids, appropriate eye protection is needed, and the tip is distinguished from the facial tip. If eyelid drooping is severe or fat protrusion is significant, surgical options are also compared.

Sessions & results
We distinguish the initial tightening sensation from later changes in skin firmness. Eye-area skin texture and wrinkles are checked at follow-up, and rather than increasing the number of shots, further plans are made by looking at the cause of any remaining concern and your recovery. Whether to use the 225-shot tip or the 450-shot tip again is also decided by eyelid condition rather than shot count.
How it compares
| Comparison | Thermage FLX | Sofwave | Ultherapy PRIME |
|---|---|---|---|
| Selection | 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. | Eye Sofwave is a treatment that uses ultrasound to trigger a collagen response in the skin to address brow laxity and facial lines. Whether it suits thin eyelids is judged from the condition of the eyelids as well, not only from its working depth of about 1.5 mm. Brow lifting and direct eyelid treatment are distinct; the instructions guide treatment boundaries. | Eye Ultherapy PRIME is a lifting treatment performed while checking brow laxity and the surrounding supporting tissue on real-time ultrasound imaging. It aims for a modest improvement in brow position, and treatment must avoid the eyes, the eyelids and the area inside the orbital rim. A shallower transducer does not make direct eyelid treatment appropriate. |
They work differently and suit different goals. The right choice is decided after examination.
