Who it’s for

  • Combined Erbium consultation assessing under-eye fat, tear troughs and skin concerns separately.
  • Examination distinguishes protruding fat, hollows, skin laxity, pigmentation and eyelid function. A combination is not necessary for everyone; a single treatment or another approach may suit you better.

Suitability requires an examination. Skin thickness, health and previous procedures may make a different approach more appropriate.

How it works

A consultation option combining Erbium under-eye fat repositioning with Thermage FLX. Surgery and energy treatment have different roles and treatment areas; the need for each is assessed first. Thermage FLX guidance requires an appropriate eye-area tip and ocular protection. Electronic implants such as pacemakers, previous procedures and eyelid condition must be assessed.

Neither is “better” — they work differently and suit different goals. The right choice is decided after we assess your skin.

Safety & considerations

Possible reactions

  • Risks include bleeding, infection, scarring, asymmetry, difficulty closing the eyes, lower-lid position changes and revision surgery. Energy treatment adds risks such as pain, redness, swelling and thermal injury.

When to take extra care

  • Assess anatomy, eyelid function, dry eyes, prior surgery, fillers and medicines.
  • Thermage FLX guidance requires an appropriate eye-area tip and ocular protection. Electronic implants such as pacemakers, previous procedures and eyelid condition must be assessed.

Sudden visual change, severe eye pain or rapidly increasing swelling require urgent care. Combining procedures does not guarantee faster recovery or additional benefit.
