Eye bags appear after ThermiSmooth: Is this inflammation or water retention? (Photo)

March 21, 2018
Asked By:qxy2014 in Vancouver, BC

I had thermi smooth yesterday, and I saw redness and swelling under my eyes. I was told that is normal and will be gone in several hours. I found it gets worse in the evening and today there are two big eye bags appear under my eyes. I was told it is safe and no downtime. Is this inflammation or water retention caused by RF? Any way to get rid of the eye bags? My low eyelids are very tight and almost no eye bags before the treatment.

Larry S. Nichter, MD, MS, FACS says:

Thank you for your question. Thermismooth uses radio frequency which is a wonderful treatment for stimulating collagen in your skin. When using it around the eyes, a smaller electrode is used which does not penetrate deep enough to effect fat cells, so I do not understand how this could have...
