How Does Eyelid Thermage Work?
As we age, the collagen that is responsible for keeping our skin firm begins to break down. This decrease in collagen production is what is responsible for wrinkles, aging skin, and fine lines. Thermage works by using radiofrequency energy to heat the deeper layers of your skin while simultaneously cooling the upper skin layers so no damage occurs to them. The heat causes collagen hidden in the deep layers of skin to contract therefore encouraging new collagen to grow. The new collagen production results in the appearance of smoother, rejuvenated-looking skin.
What Is Eyelid Thermage Used For?
Along with improving collagen production in the eye region, Eyelid Thermage can also:
- Reduce the appearance of wrinkles on the eyelids
- Reduce the appearance of “hooded” eyelids
- Improve the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines below the eyes
- Help maintain the results from eyelid surgery
Eyelid Thermage is not the best treatment to improve the appearance of crow's feet as these wrinkles are caused by the action of the smile muscles, not just due to the lack of collagen production. Eyelid Thermage also does not improve the appearance of under-eye fat pads; these need to be removed surgically to improve their appearance.
Eyelid Thermage Results And Treatments
Standard Thermage Eye Treatments only require a single session to achieve skin-tightening results that improve over time. Right after your treatment, you will notice an immediate tightening of the skin and a little bit of puffiness. It typically takes 3-6 months to see the full effects of your Eyelid Thermage treatment as the collagen builds up in your skin to smooth out wrinkles and fine lines. It is recommended to receive an Eyelid Thermage treatment annually to continue to support new collagen production. One of the best benefits of Eyelid Thermage treatments is that the treatment does not require any downtime. You can go back to work or resume your daily activities right after your appointment, unlike other laser treatments that require longer periods of recovery.
