Thermage is a revolutionary new procedure that provides patients with tightened and contoured skin in just one treatment. Unlike most procedures, there is no need for surgery or injections, and patients generally require little to no downtime. After just a single thermage treatment, patients will experience a reduced appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, skin that is smoother and tighter, and an overall more youthful countenance.
Thermage Treatment
Unlike most treatments that rely on lasers, injections, or surgical procedures, Thermage uses radiofrequency to safely and gently heat the layers deep within the skin while cooling the outer layers. The deep heat stimulates the body’s own natural skin renewal process that produces new collagen and tightens existing collagen. The cooling action prevents damage to the surface of the skin, so patients do not look like they have undergone a cosmetic treatment.
The collagen and underlying tissue is what keeps skin looking youthful and vibrant. With age and sun exposure, however, collagen production slows down, and existing collagen breaks down faster. This can cause the skin to become wrinkled or saggy. When collagen production is stimulated with Thermage, aged skin is gradually replaced with skin that is smoother and tighter and has an improved texture and tone. The results appear very natural, and because the outer layers of the skin are left intact, there is usually no need for any downtime.
Recovery From a Thermage Treatment
During the procedure, patients feel sensations of heating and cooling. These sensations are generally mild and do not cause major discomfort. The entire process generally lasts 45 minutes to an hour and a half. After the procedure, there is no need for extended healing or complicated aftercare. Regular skin maintenance and the use of sunscreen is all that is required. In many cases, visible results begin to appear immediately. Full results tend to become apparent within 2 to 6 months. Unlike other procedures that require additional treatments to achieve or maintain results, patients need just one Thermage treatment to experience its full benefits, and the results can last for several years without further treatments. Currently Thermage is the only non-surgical cosmetic treatment that can achieve dramatic, lasting results in just one session.
Another aspect that sets Thermage apart from other treatments is that the potential side effects are very limited. They may include redness, swelling, bumps, or blisters. These side effects are generally mild and typically clear up on their own without further treatment
