Can you tell us a little about Thermage and how it works?
Thermage tightens and contours the skin, improves skin texture and minimises pore size. The Thermage procedure offers dermatologists and patients a non-invasive facelift and body contouring option without the downtime and recovery period associated with invasive cosmetic procedures such as conventional face-lift surgery and liposuction. All the Thermage procedures use a unique radio-frequency technology for controlled heating of tissue that is backed by years of clinical research. The device was cleared by the FDA in 2002. Thermage’s deep-heating, produced by radio waves, contracts patients’ existing collagen and stimulates new collagen growth. The end result is tighter and firmer skin. Patients benefit from a single treatment and results can be subtle to dramatic depending on the individual patient. Unlike lasers, Thermage works on all skin types and tones. Its immediate results are visible and continue to improve for up to six months.
