What problems can periorbital Thermage improve?

Generally, periorbital Thermage can improve issues such as fine lines around the eyes, under-eye bags, dark circles, eyelid ptosis (drooping), and crow's feet. Periorbital Thermage primarily uses high-frequency radiofrequency technology to stimulate collagen regeneration, thereby improving problems like loose skin and wrinkles around the eyes. The reference cost is typically between 3,000 and 5,000 RMB per session. Results are usually visible within 1 to 3 months after treatment, although some side effects such as dry eyes or blurred vision may occur. It is recommended to undergo periorbital Thermage at a reputable medical facility under the guidance of a qualified physician to ensure both effectiveness and safety. A detailed analysis is as follows:

1. Periorbital Fine Lines

Periorbital Thermage works by stimulating the regeneration of deep dermal collagen, enhancing skin firmness and effectively reducing fine lines around the eyes. As people age, natural collagen in the skin gradually diminishes, which may lead to the formation of fine wrinkles. Thermage targets this area specifically, promoting new collagen production and helping restore a more youthful appearance to the skin surrounding the eyes.

2. Under-Eye Bags

Under-eye bags may result from laxity of the eyelid skin or protrusion of orbital fat. Periorbital Thermage uses thermal energy to stimulate collagen regeneration, helping tighten the eyelid skin and reduce the appearance of eye bags. However, it should be noted that this method is more effective for mild cases. For more severe under-eye bags, additional treatments—such as surgical removal—may be necessary.

3. Dark Circles

Dark circles can be caused by factors such as lack of sleep or poor circulation around the eyes. Periorbital Thermage improves blood circulation in the eye area through thermal effects, accelerating metabolism and helping fade dark circles. At the same time, it stimulates collagen production, enhancing skin elasticity and radiance, thereby contributing to an overall improvement in the appearance of dark circles.

4. Eyelid Ptosis (Drooping)

Eyelid ptosis occurs due to loosening of the eyelid skin or weakened eyelid muscle function. Periorbital Thermage stimulates collagen regeneration via controlled heat, improving skin tightness and alleviating drooping eyelids. This lifting effect not only enhances aesthetic appearance but may also help partially restore normal eyelid function.

5. Reduction of Crow’s Feet

Crow’s feet are radial wrinkles that appear at the outer corners of the eyes, commonly associated with aging and skin laxity. Periorbital Thermage promotes the growth of collagen and elastic fibers, actively reducing the visibility of crow’s feet and resulting in smoother, more youthful-looking skin around the eyes.

Individuals with severe ocular diseases, implanted medical devices, pregnant or breastfeeding women, and those with allergic constitutions should proceed with caution or avoid the treatment when necessary. A comprehensive medical evaluation is essential before undergoing the procedure, and decisions should be made under the supervision of a qualified physician to ensure both safety and efficacy.
