Thermage uses radiofrequency waves for a variety of non surgical cosmetic treatments. After being treated with Thermage, eyes and eyelids are lifted for a younger, more awake look. This is particularly beneficial for people that have loose or sagging skin around the eyes. Thermage can smooth and tighten the skin around the eyes and the eyelid. It is an attractive option for patients looking for a treatment that requires no surgery or injection. What’s more is that it is safe and the non invasive Thermage eye skin treatment is FDA approved.
Aging Skin
The skin is made up of the epidermis, dermis and subcutaneous tissue. The epidermis is the outer most layer of the skin that makes contact with the outside world. The dermis is the under layer where the collagen resides and the subcutaneous tissue contains the fat deposits. The collagen and subcutaneous tissue is made up of proteins that give the skin its elasticity, fullness and keeps things tight and smooth.
With exposure to the elements like sun, weather and even age, the collagen breaks down. As we age the body is less able to rebuild collagen fast enough to replace it. This lack of collagen causes the skin to become loose, sag and develop lines and wrinkles.
What Thermage Eyes Offer
Over time the aging of skin around the eyes will cause it to look tired and the upper eyelid will begin to look flat or pointed, sometimes known as “hooding”. 
The texture of the eyelids becomes crepey making it more difficult to apply makeup while “crow’s feet” develop with wrinkles and fine lines.
After the treatment, the eyes will look brighter and more awake with the lifting effect on the skin. The skin will also be smoother and under eye sagging will be reduced. Fine lines and wrinkles will be softened and the improved texture will make it easier to put on makeup.
Thermage Eye Treatment
The radiofrequency waves heats the deep layers of the skin. This tightens existing collagen and the subcutaneous tissue while promoting the production of new collagen. It also triggers the body’s natural skin rejuvenation process of replacing old cells with new, healthier skin cells. There is also a cooling process that keeps the surface tissue from being affected by the heat of the radiofrequency waves. No other tissue in the area is affected by this treatment so it is safe and reliable procedure.
Results From Treatment
The procedure usually lasts less than an hour and there is no downtime required. This means that the patient is able to return to work immediately and can even apply makeup right after the treatment is completed.
For effective results, only one Thermage eye treatment is necessary which is vastly different from most other non invasive skin treatments that require multiple sessions. With Thermage eyes, just one treatment will produce results almost immediately while the treated area continues to improve over the next few months.
