What
is Thermage?
Thermage is
a noninvasive procedure that has been known as the "lunchtime
facelift." It tightens and lifts the skin by stimulating
the collagen that supports it.
There is no surgery, no downtime and no recovery time. It has
been featured on Oprah and Good Morning America, and is a very
safe and simple procedure.
How
Does It Work?
As we age,
the collagen under the skin thins and stretches, leading to a
sagging of the skin. Thermage uses a radiofrequency wave to contract
these collagen bundles, significantly lifting and tightening the
skin.
Over the next several months, additional collagen has been stimulated
to form naturally, leading to more tightening without any further
treatments. The complete result is seen in around 3 months.
How
long does it take?
The thermage
procedure can be done in as little as one hour.
When
will I see results?
Immediately
upon completing the procedure, appreciable tightening and lifting
are visible. Over the next 3 months, your body takes over and
additional collagen is laid down, leading to even more impressive
tightening.
How
many treatments do I need?
One! The vast
majority of patients only need a single treatment.
Which
areas of my body can it be done on?
Just about
anywhere! Thermage can be performed on the face, neck, arms, legs,
breasts and buttocks.
