[H1] WHAT KIND OF RESULTS CAN YOU EXPECT FROM THERMAGE EYE TREATMENT?
Aging with grace is the first statement that we think of when we hear the word ‘age.’ It not only highlights the refined personality one has in his late 40s, but also brings changes to how do they look and feel.
Whenever we think of ourselves aging, we imagine having wrinkles and wilted skin. The appetency of having tight and fresh-looking young skin all their lives comes to a person naturally. Once a woman hits 30, she starts getting skin tightening creams and solutions, which do not prove to be of much help.
“The eyes are the window to your soul.” –William Shakespeare.
Your face reflects your energy, and when you meet someone, eye contact is the foremost thing you do.
Droopy eyelids or saggy eye bags give the vibe of a person being tired or unhappy.
Crow’s feet, tear troughs, and fine lines are some type of wrinkles people experience around their eyes. They make sure they do every possible thing, from home remedies to using expensive serums to get rid of them. Unfortunately, none has promising results.
By happy chance, with advancements in the biological and technological fields, researchers have come up with Thermage eye treatment.
[H2] What is Thermage Eye Treatment?
The main reason behind wrinkles is the reduced production of collagen in your skin, and Thermage has the very accurate function of stimulating it. The device emits radio waves at the perfect frequency, which heats up the deeper dermis that contains the highest value of skin collagen. At the same time, it cools down the surface of your skin to which your body naturally responds and increases blood flow to the skin that boosts the production of collagen. This reduces the sagginess of the skin and gives it a glowing tight look.
[H2] What happens during a Thermage Eye Treatment Session?
Before the treatment begins, the physician asks you to remove any makeup or contact lens. He provides you with a pair of special contact lens that protects your eyes and vision during the process.
At the very start, a grounding patch is placed on your abdomen, and an eye ointment is applied to make the skin numb to make the process completely pain-free. A temporary grid is placed to guide the therapist, and a laser-like device is used to direct radio waves into the skin. These current waves are converted to thermal energy that heats the skin that is also the main objective around which thermal eye treatment works. Simultaneously, the skin surface is being cooled down, which creates a gradient and concentrates all the heat in the deeper layers.
The device is moved all over the eye in a circular motion over small patches starting from the brow bone down to the eye socket. A person feels nothing except for a light heating and vibrating sensation. Thermage can be used collectively with either eMatrix or Fraxel laser for better results.
After about 2 hours, the thermal eye treatment session is complete, you can notice the clear difference and see that your eyes are almost wrinkle-free.
[H2] Thermage for the Eyes
With effective results, Thermage eyes treatment can be used for.
[H3] 1. Thermage Brow Lift
Previously Botox was the only treatment available for saggy eyes, but now Thermage provides us with a safer option that requires no injectables. The Brow lift is like a mini facelift that gives you a fresh, clean look.
[H3] 2. Thermage Eye Lift
Thermage eye lift has completely replaced the need for eye lifting surgeries. With the production of new collagen fibers under the skin, the eyelids tighten up, and you get rid of hooded eyes. Now your eyes look more open, and you can easily flaunt your eye makeup.
[H3] 3. Thermage Eye Tightening
The new collagen produced smooths out your skin surface and reduces bagginess. It helps tone down the crow’s feet and fine lines around the eye orbit.

- It is a non-invasive process.
- It is ideal for the thin and delicate skin around the eyes.

[H2] Research Studies on Thermage
To support the idea of Thermage Eye treatment as one of the most beneficial therapies, multiple studies and research projects were conducted, which showed unexpected results.
In a study, 45 women who were using radiofrequency for treating facial wrinkles were surveyed. After six months, 46.7% were satisfied, and 17.8% were delighted, which showed the effectiveness of the treatment.
In anotherresearch, a skin biopsy was done after the individuals were treated with Thermage for three months. It showed a significant increase in type 1 and 3 collagen in the skin, which plays a major role in skin rejuvenation.
Clinical studies have come out in support of non-invasive skin tightening treatments like Thermage, which use radio waves and provide realistic results.
[H2] Some common Myths regarding Thermage Eye Treatment
There are many assumptions and myths regarding Thermage eye treatment, that need to be cleared so that you do not have any misconception and can go for the treatment in confidence.
Myth #1: IT IS VERY PAINFUL
On no grounds, this myth stands out to be true. You feel nothing except for a vibratory sensation. Moreover, a numbing cream is applied to make the process completely pain-free.
Myth #2: WRINKLES CAN ONLY BE TREATED WITH SURGERY
Well, then this is good news for you because Thermage has been effective in giving a natural skin tightening effect by stimulating collagen production.
Myth #3: IT IS NOT FOR EVERYONE
Thermage is one of those treatments which can be used by every single person irrespective of gender, age, ethnicity, and race.
Myth #4: IT HAS SERIOUS SIDE EFFECTS
The treatment uses radiofrequency waves, which have no potential effects on the health of a person. No major side effect has been reported to date.
Myth #4: IT ONLY TREATS WRINKLED SKIN
This myth is busted with the fact that Thermage eye treatment not only treats skin that has wrinkles but also prevents them while aging. By increasing collagen in the skin, the chances of having wrinkles are greatly reduced.
[H2] How much Thermage Costs in Singapore
Depending on the area you are getting Thermage for, it costs around $2800 to $4500. Though this may look expensive, you only need to get Thermage once every two years or maybe longer. It is a long-term treatment and thus one of the most cost-effective options for treating age-related skin issues.
[H2] Who can NOT get Thermage Eye Treatment?
Thermage is a treatment that can be used by everybody, but it is better to be avoided by people who are more than 75 as their eyes get more sensitive and the waves might have minor effects on their vision.
It is also not recommended to people who have had laser or eye surgery in the past six months or are about to get one in the next two months.
It is always beneficial to consult your eye physician or consultant before going for Thermage eye treatment. It is better to know just in case you may have any underlying condition like glaucoma that might be exacerbated by Thermage.
The MINOR Side effects
Though the side effects are minor, it is still better to know them all and be well informed with everything associated with the treatment. People undergoing Thermage eye treatment may face
- Increased sensitivity for a few hours
- Tingling sensation at the site of application
- Reddening of the area to which the waves were applied, the redness subsides in an hour or two.
- Swelling around the eyes almost occurs every time and takes 2-5 days to go down
- Blisters or scab may form, but they can be easily treated
- Bruising might happen but is very rare with Thermage
- You might feel some irregularities or indentations on your skin, but the chances are very low
[H2] Bottomline
With rising concerns against the side effects that come along with cosmetic surgery and botox, they are now being discouraged. Natural remedies are what people are looking forward to, but they are a time-consuming process that is difficult to keep up to.
On the other hand, Thermage eye treatment met the expectations of people and raised no concerns. It requires no incision or drug but only radio waves to boost the natural process of collagen production in our body.
However, sometimes people might not see visible results even though their skin biopsy shows increased collagen and might need to go for the second session in a shorter time period.
