Your eyes are often the first to show signs of aging. Droopy eyelids, crow’s feet, hollowness, and puffiness frequently appear together, requiring a strategic, multi-solution approach. At her San Francisco medspa, board-certified and Harvard-trained Dr. Sheena Kong specializes in non-surgical eye rejuvenation tailored to each patient.
Let’s explore how EMFACE Eye and complementary treatments can help you restore a younger, more refreshed look to your eyes.
Why the Eye Area Ages First
The skin in the eye area is thinner and more delicate than the rest of the face, which makes it more vulnerable to early aging. As we grow older, skin elasticity declines, muscles weaken, and fat pads shift. Common signs of aging in the eye area include:
- Drooping or sagging upper eyelids
- Puffiness from fat pad protrusion
- Under-eye hollowness and dark circles
- Fine lines and crow’s feet from reduced collagen and elasticity
- A general tired or fatigued appearance
The Role of EMFACE Eye in Reducing Puffiness
EMFACE Eye is a breakthrough treatment that uses radiofrequency and HIFES™ stimulation to firm the muscles under the eyes and reduce puffiness caused by fat pad protrusion. It has been shown to reduce up to 1.4 mL of volume under the eyes, resulting in a smoother, less puffy contour.
This noninvasive treatment firms the skin and strengthens the muscles beneath your eyes—with no needles, surgery, or recovery time—making it ideal for patients seeking visible improvement with minimal disruption.
What About Droopy Eyelids or Fine Lines?
While EMFACE Eye is highly effective for under-eye puffiness, aging in the eye area rarely presents in isolation. For drooping upper lids and fine lines in the eye area, Thermage Eyelid is a leading non-surgical treatment. It uses radiofrequency to stimulate collagen production and tighten the skin above and around the eye, providing a noticeable lift without affecting natural expression.
Hollow Under Eyes? Fillers May Be the Answer
A well-placed dermal filler can make all the difference if your primary concern is hollowness under the eyes. When applied with precision and expertise, fillers help smooth the transition between the lower eyelid and cheek, reducing the shadowed or sunken appearance. The result is a brighter, smoother under-eye area that still looks completely natural.
Combining Modalities for the Best Results
As aging impacts multiple tissues in the eye area, Dr. Kong recommends an integrated approach. Depending on your needs, recommendations may include:
- EMFACE Eye: Reduces under-eye puffiness by strengthening muscles and tightening skin.
- Thermage Eyelid: Tightens upper eyelid skin and smooths fine lines using radiofrequency energy.
- Dermal fillers: Fills hollow areas under the eyes for a smoother, more rested appearance.
- EMFACE Forehead: Lifts and tones the forehead muscles to indirectly elevate the brows and eyelids.
Because none of these treatments require downtime, they are ideal for busy patients who want results that look natural and fit seamlessly into a busy lifestyle. Dr. Kong tailors each plan based on your unique aging pattern, eye structure, and goals.
