Hello! This is Seye clinic, embracing all the beauty in the world, and led by a Key Doctor (KOL) and Faculty Medical Team who teach and train other medical professionals.

Quick Summary

• Target: Under-eye sagging, heavy eyelids, and fine lines.

• Eye Ultherapy: Uses HIFU to target the SMAS layer for lifting.

• Eye Thermage: Uses Monopolar RF to target the dermis for tightening.

• Recommendation: 100-200 shots based on individual anatomy.

1. What is Under Eye Ultherapy? (Mechanism & Effects)

Studies show that the skin around the eyes is the thinnest on the face, making it highly susceptible to aging. Under Eye Ultherapy is a non-invasive treatment utilizing High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU). It safely bypasses the epidermis to deliver targeted thermal energy to the superficial musculoaponeurotic system (SMAS) layer.

Clinically proven effects include:

• Eyebrow Lifting: Elevates heavy eyelids for a refreshed, awakened look.

• Under-Eye Sagging Reduction: Tightens loose tissue to minimize the appearance of eye bags.

• Collagen Regeneration: Stimulates neocollagenesis over 1-3 months for long-lasting elasticity.

2. Safe & Precise Treatment at Seye clinic

The periorbital area has minimal fat and complex vascular structures. Dermatologists recommend extreme precision to avoid unwanted hollowing. At Seye clinic, our medical team utilizes real-time ultrasound imaging (DeepSEE™) to visualize up to 8mm beneath the skin. This ensures every shot is safely delivered to the exact target layer.

4. The Science of 1.5mm Tips & Shot Counts

Unlike full-face lifting that uses 4.5mm or 3.0mm tips, the delicate eye area requires a specialized 1.5mm tip to target the shallow upper dermis safely without damaging deeper structures.
