What
is Thermage®?
Thermage® is a safe and innovative cosmetic procedure
that provides a non-surgical method for tightening loose
skin and
wrinkles using radiofrequency energy. It has been clinically
proven to smooth out wrinkles and renew neck and facial contours.
The incision-free procedure is fast and easy, and requires
no downtime from normal activities. Some people may experience
mild
redness (like a sunburn) after the treatment, but it usually
disappears quickly.
How does Thermage® work?
The Thermage® employs patented radiofrequency (RF) technology
called ThermaCool™. The ThermaCool™ device uses
a sophisticated treatment tip called ThermaTip™, which
delivers a controlled amount of RF energy. With each touch
of the skin the ThermaTip™ devise uniformly heats a
large volume of collagen in the deeper layers of the skin
and its
underlying tissue while simultaneously protecting the outer
layer of the skin with cooling. The deep uniform heating
action causes deep structures in your skin to immediately
tighten.
Over time, new and remodeled collagen is produced to further
tighten skin, resulting in healthier, smoother skin and a
more youthful appearance.
What results will I see?
Measurable tightening improvements will be seen immediately.
However, over the next six months collagen will continue
to produce, tightening and filling in the lines and grooves,
giving you a younger, more vibrant appearance.
How many treatments
will I need?
Unlike many laser procedures requiring four or more sessions,
a single Thermage® treatment has produced results in
the majority of patients. The course of treatment that
is right for you will be determined during your complimentary
consultation.
How long does it take?
The Thermage® procedure can take anywhere from a few
minutes to an hour, depending on the size of the treatment
area. Additional
time may be required for skin preparation prior to the procedure.
