* This procedure is for enhancing
facial contours and skin tightening.
Today's consumers have a host of minimally
invasive anti-aging techniques available to them. And now there's
a revolutionary, non-surgical cosmetic procedure that offers a less
costly and non-invasive method for tightening skin and generating
new collagen. Unlike facelifts, Thermage treatments require no incision
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.
Benefits:
- non-invasive
- used for non-surgical brow and jowl lifts, facial
wrinkles and sagging skin
- very safe
- virtually no downtime
How it 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 three hours. Each time treatment is
delivered, there is an immediate cool sensation followed by a brief
hot sensation, followed again by a cool sensation. At our clinic
we offer additional measures to increase your comfort. 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 two weeks to six months.
