Thermage® No surgery. No needles. No downtime. A safe, non invasive, long lasting treatment that helps smooth, tighten and contour skin in a single treatment. Thermage can be preformed all over the body including the face, eyes, lips, tummy, hands, arms, legs and buttocks. Treatments are effective for patients of all skin types (i.e. it’s colourblind) and generally require only one treatment.
An aesthetic procedure performed by a highly trained clinician it is an excellent choice for skin tightening when creams are no longer enough and surgery is too much. Thermage helps tighten existing collagen and helps stimulate new collagen growth to reduce sagging, renew contours and improve the smoothness and texture of the skin’s surface. Results are long lasting, vary from subtle to dramatic and continue to improve for months after treatment. What is the Thermage procedure?The procedure is non-invasive, generally requires only a single treatment with little or no downtime allowing you can generally return immediately to your normal activities.
The Thermage procedure delivers heat deep into the skin to tighten existing collagen and stimulate new collagen growth. Collagen is the building block that provides structure to your skin. It is suitable on most body parts including face, eyes, lips, tummy, arms, hands, thighs and buttocks. How does it work?A hand piece with a smooth, flat tip delivers Thermage’s unique radio frequency (RF) technology, which saftey heats the deeper layers of your skin. This stimulates existing collagen and promotes new collagen growth over time resulting in smoother tighter skin. What does the Thermage treatment feel like?When the energy is applied you will feel a deep, but brief, heating sensation, an indication that collagen is reaching effective temperature for tightening. The surface of your skin remains cool with the cooling spray which is delivered before and during each application of energy. Throughout the treatment your feedback is used to ensure your comfort and to help achieve maximum results. What kind of results can I expect?Everyone can expect some collagen tightening. The degree of visible improvement varies from subtle to dramatic. Generally, some improvement is immediately visible and continues up to six months as new collagen forms in the skin. Patients experience:
- -Overall tightening
- -Contouring
- -Softening of wrinkles and lines
- -Improved skin texture
How many treatments will I need?Unlike many laser procedures requiring four or more sessions, a single Thermage treatment produces results in the majority of patients. How long will the results last?The Thermage procedure stimulates new natural collagen production for up to 6 months following the treatment. Results can last for years depending on your skin condition & aging process. |
