Thermage FLX Eyelid Singapore

Thermage FLX Eyes: Non-Surgical Eyelid Lift in Singapore

As we age, our skin naturally loses elasticity due to collagen degradation. This loss can lead to various issues like wrinkles, fine lines, and sagging, especially noticeable around the eyes.

What Is Thermage FLX Eyes?

Thermage FLX Eyes is a non-surgical treatment that uses radiofrequency waves to stimulate collagen production and tighten loose skin around the eyes. This method offers a non-invasive solution for saggy eyelids, giving your eyes a fresher, more youthful look.

How Does Collagen Affect My Eyelids?

Collagen, produced by fibroblast cells in the skin, is crucial for maintaining skin structure and support. It makes up about 80% of your skin. As you age, you lose around 1% of collagen each year, leading to visible signs like sagging, wrinkles, and fine lines. 

In the eye area, collagen loss can cause:

– Droopy eyelids (hooded eyes)
– Under-eye sagging (ectropion or lower eyelid sagging)
– Under-eye bags

How Does Thermage FLX Eyes Work?

Thermage FLX Eyes uses monopolar radiofrequency (RF) technology to rejuvenate skin and lift the eyelids by:

1. Heating the Skin: RF energy penetrates deep into the dermis, causing collagen to contract immediately and tighten the skin.
2. Stimulating Collagen Production: The heat triggers the body’s natural repair response, leading to the creation of new collagen over time.
3. Improving Skin Texture: The skin continues to tighten and smooth out as collagen production ramps up in the months following treatment.

Advantages of Thermage FLX Eyes

– Non-invasive: It tightens skin without surgery, making it a great option for those who want results without going under the knife.
– Long-lasting: Results can improve for up to six months and last 1 to 2 years after a single session.
– Addresses the Root Cause: It not only provides immediate results but also stimulates natural collagen production to restore skin structure.
– Quick Treatment: The upgraded 4.0 cm² tip covers a larger area, making each session last just 20 to 90 minutes.

Thermage FLX vs. Thermage CPT

– Thermage FLX: Uses a 4.0 cm² tip, making it 25% faster than previous models. It features AccuREP Technology for precise RF energy delivery and a multi-directional vibration with a double cryogen cooling system for added comfort.
– Thermage CPT: The predecessor, using a 3.0 cm² tip, provides similar benefits but is slower compared to the FLX version.

Overall, Thermage FLX Eyes offers a quick, effective, and comfortable way to achieve a youthful eye area without surgery.

What to Expect During a Thermage FLX Eye Session

1. Preparation: Before your treatment, you’ll need to stop using chemical exfoliants and retinoids for at least two days. On the day of the session, our staff will cleanse the area around your eyes to remove makeup and skin products. We’ll then apply a grid-like marking paper to guide the treatment.
2. Eye Protection: To shield your eyes from the RF energy, we’ll insert eye shields similar to contact lenses. Numbing eye drops will be used beforehand to reduce any discomfort.
3. Contact Lens Advice: If you wear contact lenses, avoid using them for 24 hours after the procedure. Make sure to bring a pair of glasses for after the treatment.
4. RF Current Flow: A return pad, connected by a cable, will be placed on your back or thigh to help the RF current flow through your body. Water-based coupling fluid may also be applied to enhance RF energy conduction.
5. The Treatment: The treatment tip will deliver RF energy according to the grid marks. Each pulse of RF energy will feel like a warm sensation on your skin.

Overall, the process is designed to be as comfortable and effective as possible, aiming to provide you with a refreshed, youthful appearance.
