Thermage - Los Angeles

Face and Body by Thermage is the only non-invasive treatment that has been clinically proven to tighten and gently lift skin to smooth out wrinkles and renew facial contours.

A Thermage Los Angeles treatment can help smooth, tighten and provide deep contouring for an overall younger looking appearance without surgery or injections.

As you age, the collagen in your skin breaks down resulting in wrinkles, crepiness, sagging and bulging skin. A Thermage Los Angeles treatment can tighten and renew your skin’s own natural collagen through all three skin layers: the epidermis, dermis and deep subcutaneous fat.

With each touch to the skin the ThermaTip device uniformly heats a large volume of collagen in the deeper layers of the skin and its underlying tissue while simultaneously protecting the outer layer of the skin with cooling. This deep, uniform heating action causes deep structures in your skin to immediately tighten. Over time, new and remodeled collagen is produced to further tighten skin, resulting in healthier, smoother skin and a more youthful appearance.

The visual results are nearly immediate with a Thermage Los Angeles treatment, and there is virtually no down time or healing time required.

Thermage® Technology

Thermage® employs a patented radiofreqency technology called ThermaCool. Unlike lasers, the procedure can be performed on patients of all skin types and colors. After treatment sun doesn’t have to be avoided, as with laser procedures. Schedule your Thermage® in the summer or any time that’s right for you.

Thermage’s unique capacitive radiofrequency (RF) technology safely heats the deeper layers of your skin, stimulating existing collagen and promoting new collagen growth. The result: skin that looks and feels noticeably smoother, tighter and firmer.

What To Expect On The Day Of Your Treatment

A Thermage Los Angeles treatment is performed in The Kest Clinic by Thermage® certified personnel. The average treatment takes 45 minutes for the face and up to an hour and a half for other parts of the body, depending on the size, location and condition of the area to be treated.

How the Thermage® Treatment Works

During the procedure a handheld device is pressed against your skin to safely deliver heat to the inner layers, at the same time cooling the surface of the skin. Each time the device touches your skin you’ll feel a brief cooling sensation, followed by a deep but brief heating sensation, followed by another cooling sensation. The heating sensation is a sign that the deep layers of your skin are reaching effective temperatures for tightening.

Throughout the procedure your provider will ask for feedback on the level of heat sensation to help balance your comfort with maximum results. After treatment your skin may be slightly red, but most people resume regular activities immediately. There’s no recovery time or special follow-up care.

What the eye procedure treats:

• Tired looking eyes

Natural looking results:

• Brighter looking eyes that appear more lifted and less tired
• Smoother, tighter skin around the eyes
• Reduced under eye sagging and tauter contours around the eyes
