What is the Thermage® procedure?
The Thermage procedure is the only non-invasive treatment that delivers tighter skin, renewed facial contours and healthier collagen. (Collagen is the building block that provides structure to your skin.) The visual results are immediate and there is virtually no healing time required. The Thermage procedure employs a patented radiofreqency technology called ThermaCool. It has been clinically proven to tighten and gently lift skin to smooth out wrinkles and renew facial contours. Unlike lasers, the procedure can be performed on patients of all skin types.

How does it work?
The ThermaCool™ device uses a sophisticated treatment tip called, ThermaTip, which delivers a controlled amount of RF energy. With each touch to the skin, the ThermanTip device uniformly heats a large volume of collagen in the deeper layers of the skin and it’s 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.

When will I see results?
Recently published studies conducted by Thermage show that measurable tightening improvements appear gradually over 2 to 6 months after a single treatment session. However, many patients have reported seeing an earlier response.

How long does it take?
The Thermage procedure can take anywhere from a few minutes to an hour, depending on the size of the treatment area. Additional time may be required for skin preparation prior to the procedure. The best part of all is that the results are immediate! You walk out looking noticeably better.
