Treatment Overview
Eye Lift with Thermage FLX is a non-invasive radiofrequency (RF) procedure performed in Korea to tighten and lift the delicate skin around the eyes. Thermage FLX delivers controlled monopolar RF energy deep into the dermis, stimulating collagen production and remodeling without surgery.
This procedure improves upper and lower eyelid laxity, softens crow’s feet, and tightens under-eye skin. When combined with Juvelook skin boosters, the therapy enhances hydration and elasticity, reducing puffiness and fine lines for a refreshed, youthful eye area.
Purpose & Benefits
- Eyelid Tightening: Firms loose skin above and below the eyes.
- Wrinkle Reduction: Softens crow’s feet and fine lines around the eyes.
- Improved Elasticity: Stimulates collagen to enhance firmness and skin resilience.
- Brightened Eye Contour: Reduces mild under-eye sagging and puffiness.
- Non-Invasive: No incisions or downtime; safe for sensitive areas.
- Synergy-Ready: Can be combined with Juvelook, pico lasers, or RF microneedling for enhanced rejuvenation.
