Sessions & results
Assess firmness over weeks to months. Immediate tightness or swelling does not establish the result. Review the response before deciding whether and when to repeat treatment. For Eye Sofwave, brow-area firmness and lines are compared with the first photos, and deep hollows or bags are treated as a separate issue. At follow-up, we compare the change with the original aim and the limits of this approach.

| Comparison | Sofwave | Ultherapy PRIME | Thermage FLX |
|---|---|---|---|
| Selection | Eye Sofwave uses ultrasound to stimulate a collagen response when addressing brow laxity and facial lines. A nominal depth of about 1.5 mm does not establish suitability for thin eyelids. Brow lifting and direct eyelid treatment are distinct; the instructions guide treatment boundaries. | Eye Ultherapy PRIME uses ultrasound imaging to assess brow laxity and supporting tissue, with a modest brow lift as a possible goal. Avoid the eyes, eyelids and inside the orbital rim. A shallower transducer does not make direct eyelid treatment appropriate. | Eye Thermage FLX uses radiofrequency and an eye tip for periorbital wrinkles and skin firmness. Eyelid treatment requires appropriate eye protection; face tips must not be used over the eyes. It has a different purpose from filling hollows or repositioning fat. |
Neither is “better” — they work differently and suit different goals. The right choice is decided after we assess your skin.
