Thermage FLX Eyes explained

Thermage FLX Eyes is the eye-area version of Thermage FLX. It uses a small, dedicated eye tip designed for the delicate eyelid skin. It aims to reduce hooding, crepey texture and fine lines without surgery.

How Thermage FLX Eyes works

Monopolar radiofrequency energy heats the deeper layer of the eyelid skin while the surface is cooled. The heat makes existing collagen contract and triggers new collagen over the following months. Protective plastic eye shields are placed under the eyelids before the upper and lower lids are treated.

• Mild upper eyelid hooding
• Crepey skin on the lower eyelids
• Fine lines around the eyes

• Pregnant or breastfeeding women
• People with a pacemaker or implanted electronic device
• Heavy excess eyelid skin that needs surgery (blepharoplasty)
• Active eye infection or recent eye surgery
• Those who cannot tolerate eye shields (for example, some contact lens or eye conditions)
