Thermage Eye Program and Ultherapy Program (brow lift / around the eyes) each have distinct strengths depending on the skin concern and target area.
Thermage Eye Program uses radiofrequency energy (Monopolar RF) to volumetrically distribute heat within the dermis to stimulate collagen and tighten the skin — it can be applied directly over the eyelid skin and is suitable for patients with drooping eyelids and wrinkles around the eyes.
Ultherapy Program uses focused ultrasound energy targeting the deep SMAS layer to lift the brow tail and outer eye corners — it is suitable for patients with drooping brows and outer eye corners, but cannot be applied directly over the eyelid skin.
The doctor will assess which program is appropriate. If concerns exist in both the eyelid area and the brow/outer eye corner, both programs can be combined for more comprehensive results.
