thermage
Thermage is a safe, non-invasive procedure that helps smooth, tighten, and contour
skin anywhere on the body for a naturally younger looking appearance. Thermage uses
radiofrequency to heat the deeper structures of the skin such as the collagen fibers.
Heat tightens these fibers that have become loose and stretched with age and also
stimulates new collage growth to make your skin feel smoother over time.
Although thermage has been around for a number of years, the latest breakthroughs
in technology have made the procedure even better and expanded its use beyond facial
aesthetics to include body contouring, including the treatment of cellulite. In
fact, it is the only FDA cleared single treatment for temporary improvement of cellulite.
Thermage is performed in one single treatment and most patients report immediate
results that improve over a 4 to 6 month period and last for around 3 years. Thermage
can be used on the face to increase jaw line definition, tighten skin around the
neck, reduce jowls, improve the texture and tone of the skin, and rejuvenate the
eye area. It is also used on the body to reshape and tighten the abdominal skin
as well as reduce inches around the abdomen and waist. It has been shown to tighten
and refine upper arm skin as well as tighten skin on the thigh.
