Is ThermiSmooth ok for tightening under eye hollowness or is it hype?

Lasers, fillers, microneedling/PRP work best for this area.  If you are wrinkles thermismooth can help but hollows need fat or fillers.  Best, Dr. Emer.

Thank you for your question. Thermismooth is great for skin wrinkles/laxity. That being said, it does NOT address hollowness. The way radio frequency works is that it heats the underlying tissues to a certain degree of temperature quickly, and maintains for a number of minutes. These we know by science; increases and stimulates the production of collagen. It will not increase enough to fill in hollow areas, it may even make them appear more hollow due to the fact that the heat also shrinks fat cells. I would recommend you try an HA filler under the eyes such as Restylane Silk, Volbella, or Belotero. Best of luck!#holloweyes #teartroughs #eyebags

ThermiSmooth works nicely to tighten skin but does little to improve volume.  I would agree with a comprehensive approach using the following:ThermiSmooth (around the eyes)HA Filler (to the tear troughs or under-eye hollows)Micro needling (locally or entire face) + topical bone-derived stem cellsI hope that helps!

ThermiSmooth helps the body produce more collagen in the dermis of the skin. This collagen helps tighten loose skin to some extent but does not build up volume of underneath tissues to fill in hollowness. Fillers are used to revolumize the face.The information provided in Dr. Shelton's

ThermiSmooth will help tighten the loose skin under the eyes. Hollowness is caused by volume loss. If you have loose skin under your eyes it will help. If your main issue is hollowness from volume loss then fillers may be more appropriate. Hope this helps.

I would suggest a combination approach for this condition including:
ThermiSmooth to promote collagen growth and to correct skin crepiness
Fillers to improve volume loss and hollowness
Advanced Clinical Skincare regimen to improve skin texture
Make sure you go to an experienced provider.

Thermismooth is a great treatment around the eyes to tighten the skin and thereby help with eyelid hooding and wrinkles around the eye, but it won't help with hollowness. For volume replacement under the eye we have found that PRP injections with microneedling (Dermapen) work best. Typical fillers like Restylane and Juvederm can be used but sometimes result in unwanted under eye puffiness.

Thank you for your question. I utilize Thermismooth for tightening and it works very nicely. It is typically done in a series of 3-6 treatments. For volume loss injectable fillers such as Restylane are typically ideal but it does depend on the individual so an in person consultation is best.Dr. Daniel Ritacca

The thermismooth treatment has been used successfully to tighten skin and minimize lines in the lower and upper eyelids. It will not help the hollowness, which might be treated with fillers ( your own fat or Hyaluronic acid ). It is the most common treatment in our office at this time.

ThermiSmooth is a non-surgical procedure that will tighten the skin of the upper & lower eyelid and peri-orbital areas. It is not a primary treatment for hollowness under the lower eyelids.   In these cases most would suggest a more comprehensive approach using appropriate filler.  I find that ThermiSmooth offers the only procedure I can do with results that requires no anesthesia and no downtime, in less than 30 minuets I can have the patient back to her full and regular activitie
