Thermage uses a technology called Capacitive Radio Frequency. This is not laser technology, so it is able to be utilized safely on all skin types. The energy from this innovative technology actually diffuses into all three layers of skin; the Dermis, Epidermis and the Subcutaneous Layer. The energy from the CRF stimulates collagen production, therefore tightening the skin as it contours and tones. Thermage can be used many problem areas. It can be used on the face, including the eyes, along with the thighs and the abdominal area.

The treatment time takes anywhere from one to two hours, depending on the size of the area being treated. One treatment for any given area is all that is needed. While the procedure is in progress, the CRF energy emits momentary heat pulses that penetrate the layers to stimulate collagen production. After the Thermage procedure, some people might experience temporary redness or puffiness within the treatment area. That is normal will go away within a few days. Others may not notice it at all. Very seldomly have any more serious side effects been reported, like blistering or irritation. There’s no need to put off normal activity for recovery, it can be resumed right after the treatment.

Almost instantly, the positive results from Thermage can be seen. As time goes by the final results are seen. That can take anywhere from four to six months as the collagen that has been re-stimulated starts to repair the skin and the wrinkles start to fade away. The results look both natural and stunning.

Getting a Thermage treatment is an inventive way to get the results that are going to make a wonderful difference to the skin and its appearance. The ability of this non-invasive treatment to contour, shape and tone the skin while removing wrinkles is revolutionary. Using Thermage on the abdomen and the thighs enables contouring that diet and exercise alone can’t give. Ask your plastic surgeon today about this innovative treatment.
