Thermage

“Brow lifting, smoothing of crow’s feet, improving jowls, tightening the neck and cheek skin are all possible with Thermage™.”

Thermage™ is an innovative radiofrequency device that delivers energy to the deepest layer of skin, while cooling and protecting the skin’s surface. The recent introduction of the NXT system and new and improved treatment tips by Thermage™ have improved results, enhanced patient comfort and lessened treatment time. The radiofrequency energy heats and contracts collagen fibrils resulting in tightening of the skin. Cells responsible for collagen production are stimulated to produce new collagen for months after the treatment. The results are gradual, seen over a six month period. Lifting brows, smoothing crow’s feet, tightening eyelid skin, improving jowls, tightening the neck and cheek skin are all possible with Thermage™. Almost everyone may be a candidate for this treatment, but the best candidates are those who aren’t ready for surgery yet, or who have had surgery and just need a little tune up to tighten the skin.

Are You A Candidate?

What may make you a good candidate for Chin Augmentation:

Some signs to look for that may make you a good candidate for a Thermage procedure: Your skin has mild laxity and early jowl formation. You do not need a full surgical facelift, but want gradual and subtle improvement. You are also realistic about results. Thermage can have dramatic results, but can also be very subtle in some patients. Would you be comfortable having the procedure if you turned out to be one of the “non-responders”?

Results You Can Expect

Right after the procedure your face is mildly red, which disappears within an hour. You may be aware of a general facial skin tightening right away, although it may also take up to 6 months for the final result to be evident. Everyone experiences some tighten, but results vary and are not the same in all people.
