Our Services: Thermage
"Thermage Center of Excellence"
 You
can take years off your appearance with clinically proven thermage. Thermage
helps smooth, tighten, and contour the skin on your face, eyelids, tummy,
buttocks, thighs, hands or arms for a naturally younger looking appearance
without surgery or injections and little to no downtime. Thermage is a safe,
clinically proven way to tighten and contour skin, with improvements in
tone, contour, and texture occurring naturally through the stimulation of
your own collagen.
Thermage is completely non-invasive—no surgery, no injections. A
single treatment tightens your existing collagen and stimulates
new collagen growth. Improvements are immediately visible and continue
for up to six months. The results can last for years. Thermage
works on all skin types and tones. And, unlike injections or fillers,
Thermage works on your entire face: forehead, eyes, naso-labial
folds, jaw line, jowls and the area under your chin.
New!
Thermage's Body Shape procedure is a non-invasive procedure that can help
tighten, firm and shape the body following just one treatment, without surgery
or injections and little to no downtime.
Patients may expect:
- Tightening and lifting
- Circumferential reduction of body areas
- Flatter and smoother
skin
The Body Shape procedure is ideal for men and women who
are not significantly overweight and are looking to help firm
sagging skin and reduce unwanted bulges that dieting and exercise
alone cannot seem to change.
Results vary from subtle to dramatic. Generally, some improvement is immediately
visible and continues for up to six months. Results are long lasting depending
on your skin condition and the aging process.
How Thermage it Works
Thermage's unique Capacitive Radiofrequency (CRF) technology safely heats
your skin's underlayer and the web of collagen in the inner layer, causing
an immediate tightening as well as improved tone and texture. And the improvements
will continue and become even more noticeable for four to six months following
treatment due to new collagen growth.
The Procedure
Normally, the complete procedure can be performed in just one session lasting
from 20 minutes to two hours, depending on the treatment area. General anesthesia
is not required, but to make sure you are comfortable the doctor may offer
light pain medications prior to treatment.
During the treatment, you'll feel a brief, heat sensation each time Thermage
delivers radiofrequency energy to the underlayer of your skin. This indicates
that your collagen is being stimulated and tightened.
After treatment, your skin may be slightly red for a day or two. But most
people resume regular activities immediately after treatment, with no downtime
or special follow-up care.
How does the Thermage procedure work?
The procedure works by heating deep collagen fibers in the skin and underlying
tissue, while protecting the skin's surface with a cooling spray.
The treatment is performed with the ThermaCool device. A ThermaTip™,
attached to a handheld device, briefly touches the skin, delivering
the non-invasive CRF energy deep beneath the skin. This deep, uniform
heating action causes the deep structures in the skin and underlying tissue
to immediately tighten. Over time, new and remodeled collagen is produced
to further tighten skin and renew facial contours.
How long does the Thermage procedure take?
The Thermage procedure is a completely non-invasive, safe treatment that
is performed only in a doctor's office. Depending on the size of the area
to be treated, the procedure may take as little as 20 minutes or up to two
hours.
How many treatments will I need?
Unlike many laser procedures requiring four or more sessions, a single
Thermage treatment produces results in the majority of patients.
The treating doctor will determine the course of treatment that is right
for each patient, based on the patient’s needs and goals.
When will I see results?
Immediate results are visible, and improve over time. Measurable tightening
and contouring improvements appear gradually over a two to six month time
period following a single treatment session.
Is the Thermage procedure safe?
The Thermage procedure has an excellent safety record. With over 190,000
estimated worldwide patient treatments to date, the reported
incidence of side effects is less than 0.4%. The most frequently reported
incidents are classified as swelling, redness, bumps, and blisters
on or around the treated area. These side effects have disappeared
in a few days or weeks. A rare (<0.11%) but longer lasting side effect described
as a "surface irregularity" has also been reported. Consult
with your physician regarding this and any other questions you may have
on the safety record of the Thermage procedure.
Introducing the Cellulite Procedure
by Thermage and New ThermaTip™ CL
Treatment Tip
According to a recent study, nearly 90% of women
experience some degree of cellulite, and demand for non-invasive cellulite
treatments in the U.S. is expected to nearly double to over
750,000 procedures per year by 2011.
 This treatment is ideal for patients who have tried diet and exercise—or
even other cellulite treatments—without success. Now they can benefit
from:
- A single treatment with no surgery, injections or downtime
- Smoothing of dimples and improved skin texture
- Long lasting results
By using new procedure guidelines and the ThermaTip CL treatment tip,
collagen connective tissues are restored and circulation is improved
to help smooth skin and reduce the appearance of cellulite.
Results vary from subtle to dramatic. Generally improvements may be
immediately visible and continue to improve for up to six months. Results
are long lasting and depend on your skin condition and the aging process
