Undoubtedly, the eye area is where age is most revealed. Its sensitivity and delicacy makes it an area prone to faster expression lines, as well as ugly wrinkles. That is why it is very important to start taking care of her from the 20s when you still have the opportunity to do something to keep her radiant. There are many creams and treatments to achieve what we want, but nothing like a laser or radiofrequency treatment for better results. That is why we spoke with Dr. Sabrina Fabi to tell us about the resources we have to hide the wrinkles in that area and make our faces look fresher and more youthful.

Doctor, what is the best way to keep the eye area in optimal conditions?

“Part of the changes we see are caused by the muscle that no longer has bone to support it. So we start to see wrinkles and that really requires treatment with a type of toxin like Botox, Dysport or Xiomin that relaxes the muscle and improves the lines. When the volume and elasticity around the eyes begin to decrease, collagen needs to be stimulated to regain firmness. Energy products like lasers and radiofrequency treatments use heat to naturally stimulate collagen."

Are there non-invasive treatments that can help this area look fresher and wrinkle-free?

The Co2 laser is very effective, but requires recovery time and is not suitable for all skin types. Many of the lasers can cause skin color to worsen. For Latin, Asian, or olive skin tone women, I recommend using radiofrequency treatments, such as Thermi. This technique is a safer way to treat these patients and give them good, good results. Radiofrequency treatments are the only treatments that can be used in the eye area.

What are the most used radiofrequency treatments?

“The most common are Thermage, which has been around for a long time. ThermiSmooth, which is the new generation of radio frequency used in the eyes. And the last one would be Pellevé. Those are truly the only radiofrequency treatments that have the ability to treat this area."

What results can be obtained?

These radiofrequency treatments biologically attempt to restore younger tissue. After a series of ThermiSmooth treatments for 1 or 2 weeks, one begins to see that the tissue is thicker. For this reason, under-eye bags don't look as bad and wrinkles and skin quality look stronger and younger.”

What are the pros and cons of a treatment like this?

“The pros are that it takes time to recover and is non-invasive. The cons are that it will not give you the level of result as a surgery or using a Co2 laser. As long as the person has a realistic expectation, radiofrequency is an excellent treatment"

Is anyone eligible to receive it?

"Anyone is a candidate as long as they do it with someone who has experience and is qualified."

When can the results be seen and how often should they be done?

“Typically I tell my patients that it can take 4-6 ThermiSmooth treatments to see optimal results. After the last treatment, results can typically be seen within 3 months. I recommend that my patients have the treatment every year."

What is the price of this type of treatment?

“In our clinic, does ThermiSmooth cost anything before doing it?

“It is important that the patient is well informed, especially about who is going to carry out the treatment. Put yourself in the hands of a qualified professional and expert in these treatments”.
