Thermi smooth can be used to help treat the upper and lower eye area. Other options are fractional laser resurfacing and Thermage . Special eye shields ( similar to contact lenses) must be worn when treating over the eyelid itself. Other procedures such as ultherapy treat the upper brow area to help tighten skin and can provide some improvement to the skin in the upper eye area
Thank you so much for your question! ThermiTight is not approved for use on the eyelids. However, you could definitely try ThermiSmooth for the area. Generally you need a series of treatments for ThermiSmooth. Other non-surgical options that you could look into to treat the upper eyelids are injectables like filler or botox to lift the eyebrow, CO2 laser, and IPL.
ThermiTight is approved to be used on the neck, breasts, arms, abdomen, thighs and knees. Unfortunately, it is not used for the upper eyelids. ThermiSmooth can be used to tighten upper eyelid skin. Another non-surgical rejuvenation option for eyelid tightening is the Fractional Co2 Laser treatment, which reduces the furrows of wrinkles and improves elasticity of the skin. However, a consultation with your board-certified surgeon is necessary to determine what treatment is best for you.
ThermiSmooth is a component of the Thermi radiofrequency system that can help tighten the facial skin and lower lids. As well the user can make passes along the upper lid below the eyebrow (along the brow bone), which can help tighten the upper lid. We don't pass the handheld instrument directly over the thin lid skin directly overlying the globe of the eye (eyeball) because we don't want excessive thermal energy on this direct location. I have had this procedure done several times along my lower lid and periocular (around the eye) skin and really like its effect. Like many forms of RF for skin tightening, one may have to undergo several (3-4) treatments to achieve the best response. Also, those with more elastic skin respond better- older individuals with folds of eyelid skin may actually benefit more from a surgical blepharoplasty (with or without a browlift) to rejuvenate this area.
For the best lift, I recommend a combination using ThermiRF. I use VASER liposuction with ThermiRF, ultrasound and fat grafting in order to get the most fat removal, skin tightening and lift. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a body contouring expert. Sometimes adding sculptra helps...
ThermiTight is a well-tolerated procedure. Most patients feel the application of the anesthetic more than they do the treatment itself. Of course, pain thresholds vary by individual, but most people rate the pain as minimal. There are no real side effects, either, other than some temporary...
My vote is for ThermiTight - nothing on the market will tighten skin like that; and it will also "melt" some fat. It is more expensive, because it is "surgical," meaning that the area(s) to be treated will have to be numbed and a small poke is made in the skin in order to get the ThermiTight ...
