The FDA recently cleared Thermage, a non-surgical procedure that tightens skin to treat signs of aging in the facial area. The procedure employs ThermaCool, a patented Capacitive Radiofrequency (CRF) technology. The controlled ThermaTip distributes CRF energy to the deep layers of collagen under the skin, providing uniform heat to the underlying tissue while keeping the outer layer of skin cool. Some advantages of Thermage as compared to the traditional facelift: * Thermage is a non-surgical procedure, meaning that it is completely non-invasive. This is in contrast to traditional facelifts, which involve making small incisions. * The procedure is ideal for those not ready to commit themselves to the more invasive facelift. * The procedure takes less time to perform and recover from than the traditional facelift. * Thermage has also shown promising results on the upper arm, inner thigh and abdomen. * Thermage is easier and safer than traditional facelift procedures. * Only one treatment is needed to reap the full benefits of this patented procedure. Thermage works by safely heating the deep layers of collagen under the skin with the ThermaTip. This causes tightening and toning of the collagen and skin. With Thermage you are not only reducing signs of aging, you are also improving the health and elasticity of your skin and collagen. |
