Thermage

If you are one of the many people who would like to maintain a youthful look for as long as possible, Thermage treatments produce incredible results, addressing the visible signs of aging in minutes. It is a one-time non-surgical treatment, with no injections and little to no downtime.

What is Thermage?

The Thermage device delivers non-invasive radiofrequency energy to the skin, tightening, smoothing, and restoring. The energy emitted by the device enters the deeper skin layer, triggering natural collagen production. This treatment tightens existing collagen fibers for visible skin tightening immediately, with long-term improvements in skin quality as natural collagen is regenerated.

How does Thermage work?

Collagen is nature’s skin-firming protein. Young skin is loaded with collagen, giving it a beautiful, firm quality. Over time, the collagen fibers break down, weaken, and stretch, causing fine lines, wrinkles, and creases. The Thermage device was developed to deliver energy to the collagen-rich area of the skin. The energy separates the water molecules from the collagen fibers in the skin, causing an immediate tightening effect. In the weeks and months ahead, the skin continues to become firmer as the collagen is regenerated.

What is the treatment experience with Thermage?

The Thermage device was developed for ultimate comfort. A “Thermacool” tip delivers controlled RF energy, heating the collagen in the deeper skin layers, while keeping the skin surface cool and comfortable. Your skin will first be cleansed, and a pad placed on your back or leg to create the circuit for the RF energy. The area to be treated is marked with a grid pattern (which easily washes off) so that the treatment is uniform. You will feel the pulses of the energy, which can be increased or decreased for your comfort.

What skin areas can be tightened with Thermage?

Thermage treatments can be performed on any face or body area where the skin has lost its firm, supple quality. The most common facial areas to be treated include:

• Forehead
• Around the eyes
• Midface
• Lower face

• Under chin
