Thermage – Enhance Your Natural Skin Renewal Non-surgically

Are aging signs making you shy away from public life? If that is the case, you can consider facial treatments that will rejuvenate your skin for a more youthful appearance. Thermage®is one of the safest non-surgical skin treatments that reverse the signs of aging. This non-surgical treatment uses controlled radiofrequency energy to treat wrinkles, cellulite, fine lines and small skin bulges. Thermage skin treatment uses a physician-controlled handheld device to deliver focused radio frequency energy on areas needing treatment. Thermage treatment takes about 45 minutes for the face and 90 minutes for the entire body.

Am I a good candidate for Thermage®?

You may consider having Thermage skin treatment if:

• Your skin doesn’t have any infections
• Your skin is showing signs of laxity after an operative procedure
• You have mild to moderate skin laxity on the face, neck, arms, chest and abdomen
• Your skin has wrinkles or fine lines
• You want to improve the quality of your skin
• You are not willing to undergo an invasive skin treatment to improve your wrinkles or skin laxity
• You have realistic expectations with the treatment

Consultation with a qualified physician is your first step in finding out if you qualify for the radio frequency skin treatment.

How it works, what it does

Thermage is a proven radiofrequency treatment that transforms skin by working below the surface and addresses a wide range of surface imperfections that result from age and environmental factors. Benefits include the smoothing of wrinkly or uneven skin, better definition of facial features around the eyes, jaw and neckline, and even the smoothing and toning of unsightly bulges, dimples and wrinkles on the face and body. Thermage radiofrequency energy works with your body, remodeling your collagen to help your skin get that smooth feel and youthful look you want. Thermage treats targeted problem areas – so the results are focused and effective.

What results can I expect with Thermage®

Thermage skin treatment has no downtime. Your skin may, however, appear red which is temporary. After treatment, results may begin to be visible in as little as one day. The results will, however, continue to improve for up to 6 months as the body builds new collagen. New collagen is produced and gives your skin a smooth and taut,, effect which appears healthy and very youthful. With good treatment, the results can last for several years.

Don’t smoke

Smoking makes your skin look older and contributes to wrinkles. Smoking narrows the tiny blood vessels in the outermost layers of skin, which decreases blood flow. This depletes the skin of oxygen and nutrients that are important to skin health.

Smoking also damages collagen and elastin — the fibers that give your skin strength and elasticity. In addition, the repetitive facial expressions you make when smoking — such as pursing your lips when inhaling and squinting your eyes to keep out smoke — can contribute to wrinkles.
