Can Under-Eye Sagging Lifting Be Done with Eye Ulthera?

Can under-eye sagging lifting be done with Eye Ulthera?

"I'm worried because the skin under my eyes is sagging..

I'm afraid of surgery,

Are there any other methods?"

As people get older, some become concerned that the area under the eyes sags and looks puffy.

The skin under the eyes is thin, and the structure is complex, so it is true that improvement is not easy.

That is why some people think there is no option other than surgery.

However, if the sagging under the eyes is not severe, improvement may be possible without surgery.

One method is lifting the under-eye area with Eye Ulthera.

Today, I’ll explain in detail how Eye Ulthera improves under-eye sagging and what types of sagging it is effective for.

1. Why does the under-eye area sag?

Under-eye sagging lifting

First, let’s look at why the under-eye area sags.

Under-eye sagging is not simply a skin problem.

Around the eyes, there is a muscle called the orbicularis oculi and a thin membrane called the orbital septum.

As we age, these structures gradually weaken and stretch.

In particular, when the orbital septum loosens, the fat behind it is pushed forward.

This is the reason the under-eye area looks puffy.

In addition, the skin under the eyes is the thinnest area on the face.

As collagen decreases, fine wrinkles and sagging appear easily.

So, to improve the under-eye area, you need to address not only the skin but also the muscles and septum beneath it.

How does Eye Ulthera work?

Eye Ulthera refers to an Ulthera treatment applied around the eyes.

Like Ulthera, it uses focused ultrasound energy.

The ultrasound delivers heat to the desired depth within the skin, inducing collagen contraction and regeneration.

While standard Ulthera most commonly uses a 4.5 mm tip, Eye Ulthera uses 1.5 mm and 3.0 mm tips.

The 1.5 mm tip tightens the skin and dermal layer, while the 3.0 mm tip stimulates the orbicularis oculi muscle and orbital septum.

Because it addresses these two depths together, it can improve both skin sagging and fat protrusion at the same time.

There is a research paper that analyzed the effects of Ulthera on improving under-eye aging, so let’s take a look.

The researchers performed under-eye treatment using 1.5 mm and 3.0 mm tips.

They objectively measured the before-and-after changes through CT images.

The image shows the participant before treatment and 12 weeks after.

You can see that the puffy area under the eyes has decreased.

Overall, the under-eye line looks smoother.

According to the CT measurements, septal protrusion decreased by an average of more than 0.5 mm in both eyes.

Through this, we could see that Eye Ulthera may be effective in improving under-eye sagging.

What kind of sagging is it effective for?

Looking at the paper above, Eye Ulthera appears effective for under-eye sagging.

However, it cannot solve every type of sagging.

It is most effective at the stage when the under-eye area begins to look slightly puffy and the skin starts to loosen.

It may also help when fine wrinkles and reduced elasticity are concerns as well.

On the other hand, there are limitations when the under-eye fat is severely protruding.

Because this method tightens the septum and muscles, it is difficult to completely reverse fat that has already bulged out significantly.

In such cases, surgery should be considered.

Today, we talked about whether under-eye sagging can be improved with Eye Ulthera.

Eye Ulthera addresses both the skin layer and the muscle layer, so it can be effective when the under-eye area sags and protrudes.

However, there are limits when the fat protrusion is severe, so it is important to accurately understand your own under-eye condition.
