What is Thermage, Thermacool or Thermalift Treatment?

The Thermage procedure employs a patented radiofrequency (RF) technology called ThermaCool™. It has been clinically proven to tighten and gently lift skin to smooth out wrinkles and renew facial contours. The incision-free procedure is fast and easy, and requires no downtime from normal activities. Unlike lasers, the procedure can be performed on patients of all skin types. The ThermaCool device has been cleared by the FDA for the non-invasive treatment of facial wrinkles and rhytides.

What Are The Indications of Thermage Treatment?

Thermage is a safe and simple cosmetic procedure that reduces the appearance of aging skin through a non-surgical method of applying radiofrequency energy to the skin. Facial skin and the skin along the neck can be tightened providing a non-surgical browlift or facelift effect. This treatment is often used for sagging jowls. The tightening effect may be also used to firm up loose or sagging tissue in other parts of the body such as the abdomen or legs.

Am I A Candidate?

Anyone who desires tighter, firmer skin without downtime can benefit from Thermage treatment.

What Can I Expect With Thermage Treatment?

The advanced Thermacool system incorporates a cryogen-cooling spray to protect the skin&rsquos outer surface while the RF energy heats and modifies the soft tissues beneath the skin. This causes the collagen to contract and tighten. Each treatment is customized through the system&rsquos computer to control the depth and degree of the heating process.

Our advanced, computer-controlled Thermacool system gives your physician precise control over the tissue tightening process. The cooling spray maintains the cool skin surface while the RF energy gently heats and modifies the soft, underlying connective tissues. The procedure is rapid and bloodless.

With the development of newer tips for Thermage, it is now possible to treat sagging or dimpled skin in areas like the legs, arms or abdomen. It may be used to even out irregular areas after liposuction.

What Are The Advantages?

Thermage is non-invasive. There are no incisions and no tissue damage. A level of control can be achieved that is difficult with other treatments. There is also no bleeding or bruising.

How Long Is The Thermage Procedure?

30 min- 1hour

How Many Treatments Are Required?

Unlike many laser procedures requiring four or more sessions, a single Thermage treatment has produced results in the majority of patients. Your physician will determine the course of treatment that is right for you. 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 Do The Results of Thermage Last?

The Thermage procedure causes immediate tightening of the collagen structure, with additional tightening over time. Unpublished reports by experienced cosmetic physicians indicate that results may last 24 months or longer based on the patient's natural aging process.

Will I Have Pain?

With each touch of the ThermaTip device, you will experience a brief, deep heating sensation as the RF energy is delivered to your skin and underlying tissue. This deep heating sensation is your indication that your collagen is reaching effective temperatures for tightening. The operator controls the amount of energy delivered to balance procedural comfort with maximum results. The ThermaTip device is cooled before, during, and after heating to protect your skin and make the treatment more comfortable. Prior to treatment, an anesthetic cream may be applied to enhance your comfort. Additionally, we may also prescribe relaxants and/or pain medication.
