Thermage

What is Thermage?

Thermage is a safe, non-invasive, clinically proven way to tighten, smooth, and contour skin for an overall younger looking appearance. Through the stimulation of your own collagen, improvements in your skin tone, contour and texture will occur naturally. Thermage procedures can help smooth, tighten and deep contour skin for an overall younger looking appearance, without surgery.

The Thermage skin tightening treatment delivers natural looking results with little or no downtime? on all skin colors, all body parts, in one single procedure. Since the Thermage procedure is non-invasive, you can return to your normal activities immediately.

How does Thermage work?

To best understand how Thermage works, you need to know a few facts about your skin.

The facial skin is made of three distinct layers: a visible layer on the surface called the epidermis, a collagen-rich under-layer beneath the surface called the dermis, and an inner layer beneath the dermis call the subcutaneous layer (also known as the fat layer), which has a web of collagen fibers running through it.

The collagen in these three layers breaks down from a variety of different causes including genetics, sun exposure, smoking, weight loss, and just plain old aging. As you age, the collagen in your skin breaks down resulting in wrinkles and sagging skin. Skin treatments that work on just the surface can’t do anything to restore the collagen in the under-layer or the inner-layer of your skin. Thermage is the only non-invasive procedure available that tightens and renews your skin?s collagen in all three layers.

The actual technology that Thermage harnesses has been used in many medical applications for decades. However, it is the unique method of controlling and applying the technology that puts Thermage in a class of its own. Thermage’s unique patented radiofrequency (RF) technology safely heats your skin’s under-layer and the web of collagen in the inner layer, causing an immediate tightening as well as improved tone and texture. Existing collagen is stimulated, and new collagen begins to grow which helps skin look younger.

Due to continuing new collagen growth, these improvements will become even more noticeable for the four to six months following treatment. The net result of a Thermage laser skin tightening procedure is more youthful looking and feeling, tighter skin.
