Thermage™ is a clinically proven, safe treatment to tighten, "lift", and contour skin, with improvements in tone, shape, and texture. Thermage™ rejuvenates skin and restores a youthful appearance.
Collagen is the most abundant protein in our body, which provides elasticity and structural support. As we age, collagen becomes thin, weak, and less elastic, resulting in sagging features, loose skin, and wrinkles.
Thermage™ is completely non-invasive. A single treatment tightens the existing collagen and stimulates new collagen growth. Improvements from a single treatment are both immediate and progressive. This will continue up to 6 months. Thermage™ is FDA approved and works on all skin types and tones.
How long does Thermage treatment take?
Thermage treatment lasts just 30-90 minutes depending on how much area is being treated. Radiofrequency energy is directed just below the surface of the skin into the collagen with no surgery, injections, or incisions. During the treatment, a cooling spray is used to make the procedure more comfortable and protect your skin. You may also be given a pain medication to reduce discomfort.
Who is the ideal Thermage patient?
The ideal candidate is between age 35 and 60, but almost anyone can benefit from Thermage's skin tightening procedure.
Who CAN'T have Thermage?
Although rare, poor candidates for Thermage are those who have implanted cardiac devices like pacemakers, or people who are chronic users of NSAIDs, which are non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs like ibuprofen, prednisone, and naproxen.
