Thermage®

As seen on the "OPRAH SHOW". The Thermage® procedure provides a skin deep "Lift" without surgery, giving you a more youthful appearance.

The Thermage procedure for tighter skin...
The Thermage procedure reduces the signs of aging skin, giving you a more youthful apperance. Also called ThermaLift, ThermaCool and Radiothermoplasty, the Thermage procedure is performed with a technology cleared by the US FDA for the treatment of wrinkles around the eyes.

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

Is it safe?
The Thermage procedure is very safe. This advanced treatment has been studied carefully in thousands of patients with minimal reports of lasting adverse events.

How long does it take?
The Thermage procedure takes about 60-90 minutes. Additional time may be required for skin preparation prior to the procedure.

When will I see results?
Recently published studies conducted by Thermage show immediate response with measurable tightening appearing gradually over 2 to 6 months after a single treatment session.

How many treatments will I need?
A single treatment has produced good results in a significant number of patients. However, your doctor will assess the number and frequency of treatments required to achieve optimal results for your skin. Most people only need one treatment. Some patients may opt for a second treatment to improve upon the results, but this would not be done before 6 months.

How long will the effects of the Thermage procedure last?
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 Unpublished reports by experienced physicians indicate that results may last 18 months or longer based on the patient's natural aging process.

How long before I can return to my normal activities?
Most people return to their regular activities immediately following the Thermage procedure. 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.

How does it work?
The top layers of your skin are protected with a cooling spray while radio frequency energy heats the collagen in the lower layers. This heating action causes deep structures of your skin to tighten immediately. Over 2-4 months, new collagen forms to further tighten your skin and produce a more youthful appearance.

What does the Thermage® procedure feel like?
With each touch of the Thermage® treatment tip, you will experience a brief intense heating sensation as the collagen in deep layers of your skin is heated. To protect your skin and make the treatment more comfortable, a cooling spray is delivered before, during and after each application of the treatment tip.
