Is Thermismooth an alternative to giving a subtle lifting of the eye/brow area after eyelid surgery? (photo)

having upper eyelid surgery. My brow seems to be in a good position right now, so I don't want to have a brow lift. I can't have Botox bc of allergy and its costly anyway. I've heard great things about Thermismooth. Is that a good alternative to giving a subtle lifting of the eye and brow area after eyelid surgery? I have heard that some people experience eyebrow desent after blepharaplasty and that is what is scaring me.

As with any non-invasive technology, ThermiSmooth takes time to see results. Collagen takes time to build itself up. The best way to describe collagen reproduction is like the structure of a house - to make that foundation strong you have to lay the ground work. With a treatment like T...

A series of 4-6 treatments spread about three weeks apart are recommended to achieve the desired cosmetic result, but can vary per patient. Some patients see the desired results after three treatments, others may need more.

Hi Julie.  Although there are no studies to answer your question, we use a bit of common sense.  We try to perform lasers and all other heat generating treatments that we use in the same area as fillers BEFORE the filler treatment.  The reason is that it's possible (not proven) that the heat ...
