Today there are a host of minimally invasive anti-aging techniques available. Now there’s a revolutionary, non-surgical cosmetic procedure that offers a less costly method for tightening skin and generating new collagen. Unlike facelifts, Thermage® helps Vancouver, BC residents achieve a younger look without incisions or downtime. The Thermage® procedure reduces the signs of aging skin by actually tightening the underlying tissue. It is currently used for non-surgical browlifts and the non-surgical tightening of facial wrinkles on the forehead, around the eye, the mid and lower face and the neck.

Thermage® Benefits
This treatment uses radiofrequency energy to enhance facial contours and tighten the skin.
- non-invasive
- used for non-surgical brow and jowl lifts, facial wrinkles and sagging skin
- very safe

Thermage can be used as an alternative to surgical face lift in Vancouver in cases where the skin is only slightly lax or only a small degree of sagging occurs. Your skin care specialist will help you decide if Thermage is ideal for your skin concerns.
How Thermage® Works
The Thermage® procedure is a non-invasive treatment that delivers tighter skin, renewed facial contours and healthier collagen. With the touch of a sophisticated treatment tip to the skin, Thermage® is an advanced way of tightening skin using patented radiofrequency energy. The top layers of skin are protected with a cooling spray while the radiofrequency energy heats up the collagen in the lower layers. This deep volumetric heating causes the skin to tighten and new collagen to grow, producing a more youthful appearance.
What to Expect
The treatment can take up to 3 hours. Each time treatment is delivered, there is an immediate cool sensation followed by a brief hot sensation, followed again by a cool sensation. We offer additional measures to increase your comfort during Thermage® treatments at The Vancouver Laser & Skin Care Center. Each person is unique and results are variable. Every time treatment is delivered, there is an immediate cool sensation followed by a brief hot sensation, followed again by a cool sensation. We recommend patients rest the day of the procedure. Some people choose to go back to work on the following day. Results appear gradually in 2 weeks to 6 months.
