THE THERMAGE PROCEDURE FOR TIGHTER SKIN

The Thermage procedure reduces the signs of aging skin, giving you a more youthful appearance. Also called ThermaLift, ThermaCool, and Radiothermoplasty, the Thermage procedure utilizes superior technology to tighten skin and minimize wrinkles around the eyes.

WHAT IS THE THERMAGE PROCEDURE?

The Thermage procedure is an advanced method of tightening skin that requires only the touch of a sophisticated treatment tip. It is performed with an advanced radiofrequency device called ThermaCool TC™, and requires no incisions or recovery time.

IS THERMAGE SAFE?

The Thermage procedure is very safe. Although it is possible that skin damage can occur, this advanced treatment has been studied carefully in hundreds of patients with minimal reports of lasting adverse events.

HOW LONG DOES TREATMENT TAKE?

The Thermage procedure can take anywhere from a few minutes to an hour, depending on the size of the area being treated. Additional time may be required for skin preparation prior to the procedure.

WHEN WILL I SEE RESULTS?

Recently published studies conducted on the use of Thermage shows that measurable tightening improvements appear gradually over 2-6 months after a single treatment session; however, many patients report seeing an earlier response. The Thermage procedure causes an immediate tightening of the Collagen structure with additional tightening over time. Unpublished reports by experienced physicians indicate that results may last 18 months or longer based on the patient’s natural aging process. However, there is a small percentage of individuals who may see minimal improvement or none at all.

HOW MANY TREATMENTS WILL I NEED?

For best results, two treatments 3-6 months apart are required, although there are patients who have been happy with one treatment. The doctor will assess the number and frequency of treatments required to achieve optimal results for your skin. Most people return to their regular activities the next day. Some people experience mild redness (like a sunburn), but it usually disappears quickly. There is no special care needed after treatment, but sunscreen is recommended as a part of good skin care.
