Eye Thermage Treatment: 3 Key Points for Eye Area Elasticity Beomgye, Pyeongchon, Beomgye Station, Pyeongchon Station, Hogye-dong, Bisan-dong, Gwanyang-dong, Dongan-gu, Indeogwon, Geumjeong, Anyang

The skin around the eyes is the thinnest on the entire face and has fewer sebaceous glands, making it a region where elastic fibers can easily break down.

As a result, sagging and fine wrinkles become noticeable here sooner than in other areas, leading more people to seek out eye Thermage effects.

Eyelid sagging begins when collagen and elastin decrease with aging, weakening the skin's supportive strength.

This area has thin muscle and fat layers, making it highly susceptible to UV rays and facial expressions.

Unlike areas with thicker fat layers such as the forehead or cheeks, the eye area has a structure where muscle fibers are directly exposed, making sagging more prominent with facial expressions.

Radiofrequency (RF) lifting used around the eyes works by delivering thermal energy to the deep layers of the skin to induce collagen regeneration.

Unlike other parts of the face, the space between the bone and skin around the eyes is narrow, requiring much more precise control of energy intensity and depth.

If the energy penetrates too deeply, it can cause overly sensitive reactions, so shallow and precise irradiation is crucial.

Achieving proper eye Thermage results hinges on the precision of energy control.

Typical cases where eye Thermage effects are needed include under-eye sagging, fine wrinkles around the eyes, and changes in impression due to drooping outer corners of the eyes.

Concerns with different underlying causes, such as dark circles or bulging under-eye fat, cannot be resolved with RF lifting alone, necessitating a prior diagnosis.

If fine wrinkles around the eyes are shallow and in their early stages, there is a growing trend of managing them proactively as a preventive measure.

Conversely, if sagging is significantly advanced, consultation is needed to consider combining it with other lifting procedures.

Before the procedure, we go through a process of checking the skin thickness and degree of sagging around the eyes.

Afterward, the tip is moved in a grid pattern to uniformly deliver energy.

If only the eye area is treated, the procedure time is not long, making it an area that can be completed in a short period.

If you have a history of double eyelid surgery or epicanthoplasty, the tissue condition may be different, so it must be disclosed in advance.

If you are pregnant or suffer from ophthalmic diseases, it is also an area where the possibility of the procedure must be confirmed first.

Results are not achieved with a single treatment; changes become clearer when treatments are accumulated at regular intervals.

Because a certain amount of time is needed for new collagen to form, changes appear stably when accumulated stimulation builds up.

The recommended cycle varies depending on the degree of sagging and skin condition, so a consultation process is needed to adjust it.

Due to the nature of the area, pain is often felt as a mild stinging sensation, and swelling subsides within a few days.

This procedure has a short downtime, allowing for a quick return to daily life.

Immediately after the procedure, avoid using irritating cosmetics around the eyes and manage the skin barrier with sufficient moisturizing.

Sunscreen protection should be more thorough for thin areas like the eyes to prolong the maintenance period.

As it is an area sensitive to temperature, it is best to avoid high-heat environments like saunas or jjimjilbangs on the day of the procedure.

The name 'eye Thermage' might lead one to think it refers to a specific device, but it is closer to a general term for radiofrequency lifting applied to the eye area.

The precision of energy control, tailored to the skin thickness around the eyes, is what determines the results, more so than the device name.

The eye area is the most sensitive part of the face, requiring meticulous planning.

Ggeut Clinic follows an even more thorough pre-procedure planning stage, especially for sensitive areas like the eyes.

This principle applies equally when applying eye Thermage effects to the eye area.

At Ggeut Clinic, before the procedure, we first go through a design process where tips are arranged in a grid pattern while the patient is in a seated position.

In a lying position, the eye tissue is positioned differently from the direction of gravity, obscuring the location of sagging, so we first check the sagging lines while the patient is seated.

Without this process, the same energy would be delivered to both severely and mildly sagged areas, leading to significant variations in results.

Ggeut Clinic manages the delivery of cumulative energy evenly across the entire eye area using the Superpass technique.

If the energy is not uniform, differences in elasticity can occur between different parts of the eye area, potentially leaving an unnatural impression.

Ggeut Clinic records and shares how much energy was delivered to which area using a lifting card.

During the next visit, based on previous records, changes in the eye area can be compared, and the direction for the next procedure can be determined.

Having this record allows consultations to be based on evidence rather than conjecture when deciding on future procedures.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q. How many days until I notice the effects of Eye Thermage?

A. While there are individual differences, the effects of Eye Thermage often gradually appear a few weeks after the procedure, as collagen regeneration occurs, rather than immediately.

Q. How many sessions are recommended to see the effects of Eye Thermage?

A. It varies depending on the degree of sagging, but the effects of Eye Thermage are more stably maintained when treatments are accumulated at regular intervals rather than just a single session. Kkeut Korean Medicine Clinic provides guidance on the exact number of sessions through consultation.

Q. The eye area is sensitive; isn't the pain severe when receiving Eye Thermage for its effects?

A. With the use of numbing cream, the sensation is typically a bearable tingling, so you don't have to endure excessive pain for the effects of Eye Thermage. Kkeut Korean Medicine Clinic first checks the skin thickness around the eyes and then adjusts the energy intensity to reduce the burden of pain.

Q. Can dark circles also improve with Eye Thermage?

A. Dark circles have various causes such as hyperpigmentation, visible blood vessels, or fat protrusion, so they may not be resolved solely by the effects of Eye Thermage. An accurate diagnosis of the cause is paramount.

Q. How long do the effects of Eye Thermage last?

A. It depends on the level of care and the speed of aging, but if you receive consistent treatments, the duration of Eye Thermage effects tends to be longer. Kkeut Korean Medicine Clinic records your treatment history with a lifting card to manage your next cycle together.
