Hello.
I am Lim Young-soo, the CEO doctor of Troy Plastic Surgery, where I provide lifting treatments in Mokdong.
“Is Eye Thermage better for the eye area?”
“What is different from Eye Shurink?”
These are questions I often hear
in consultations about wrinkles around the eyes.
However, the two devices are not a matter of
“good” or “bad,” but rather a difference in
the depth of stimulation and the purpose.

Why should the eye area be considered separately?

AI-generated image to aid understanding
The skin around the eyes is
one of the thinnest areas on the face.
• Few sebaceous glands
• Thin skin
• Frequent movement
So if you approach it with the same strength as
a general lifting treatment,
it can actually be too much.
- Features of Eye Thermage



Principle of Thermage treatment to aid understanding
Eye Thermage uses
radiofrequency energy to deliver
thermal stimulation to the dermis.
• Induces collagen remodeling
• Improves fine wrinkles
• Improves skin texture
For thin areas such as around the eyes,
it is important to adjust the energy using a dedicated tip.
- Features of Eye Shurink

Eye Thermage Eye Shurink
Eye Shurink uses
HIFU (high-intensity focused ultrasound).
• Relatively deep-layer stimulation
• Focused on tightening
• Improves sagging
It is considered when decreased elasticity
under the eyes is the main cause.
- Which should be chosen in which case?

Eye Thermage Eye Shurink
The criteria I look at in Mokdong Eye Thermage consultations are:
• Are fine wrinkles the main concern?
• Is improvement in skin texture needed?
• Is decreased elasticity the main cause?
• Is there a lot of fat volume?
The approach changes depending on whether the cause of wrinkles around the eyes is thin skin, sagging, or changes in fat volume.
- Is it better to do both at the same time?

Doing the two procedures together
can sometimes create a synergistic effect,
but excessive stimulation can
instead cause swelling or
dryness.
For the eye area in particular, adjusting the intensity is key.
- Q&A

Eye Thermage Eye Shurink
Q. How many times should Mokdong Eye Thermage be done?
A. It is usually approached as once a year maintenance.

A. Some tightening is immediate, but collagen regeneration appears over 2 to 3 months.

Doctor’s note
Lifting around the eyes is about precision, not intensity.
- Summary

Eye Thermage Eye Shurink
Mokdong Eye Thermage and Eye Shurink
have different purposes and depths of stimulation.
• Fine wrinkles → Radiofrequency
• Sagging → Ultrasound
The standard is not which one is better,
but what your eye area needs.
