Eye Thermage Device & Tips
The Thermage FLX system uses monopolar radiofrequency with cryogen cooling to deliver precise energy to the periorbital dermis (~2–3 mm). The Eye Total Tip (0.25 cm²) is engineered for the thin eyelid skin.
Precision RF System
Thermage FLX delivers controlled monopolar radiofrequency to support collagen remodeling and gradual tightening around the delicate eye area.
AccuREP™ Technology
AccuREP™ helps calibrate energy delivery for each REP, supporting consistent performance in delicate areas around the eyes.
Comfort-Focused
Controlled heating, cooling, and Comfort Pulse vibration support a precise, comfortable treatment.
Treatment Process
01Consultation & Assessment
A board-certified dermatologist examines the periorbital area and skin thickness.
02Treatment Planning
The specialized Thermage Eye Tip is selected for precise energy delivery.
03RF Treatment
Controlled radiofrequency energy is delivered around the eye area using the dedicated Eye Tip.
04No Downtime
Treatment takes about 30–45 minutes; patients can resume normal activities immediately.
Recovery & Care
Same day
No downtime. Makeup, contact-lens use, and normal eye-area skincare can resume immediately. Mild warmth resolves within hours.
Week 1
Avoid aggressive eye-area actives (high-strength retinoids, AHA/BHA, strong scrubs) while skin settles.
Long-term
Daily SPF 50+ around the eye area plus sunglasses to protect remodeling collagen from UV. Continue normal eye skincare.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q.Is Eye Thermage painful?
Most patients describe a warm, tolerable sensation. The treatment includes a comfort pulse system to minimize discomfort.
Q.How is Eye Thermage different from regular Thermage?
Eye Thermage uses a smaller, specialized tip designed for the thin periorbital skin. Regular Thermage tips are too large and powerful for the eye area.
Q.Can I combine Eye Thermage with face Thermage?
Yes, many patients receive both in the same session. The dermatologist will plan the sequence and energy levels for each area.
