How it Works:
As we age, the collagen that keeps skin firm breaks down, resulting in sagging skin, fine lines, and wrinkles.
Thermage® FLX uses radiofrequency technology to heat the deep, collagen-rich layers of the skin, while the tip vibrates and cools the surface to help aid in patient comfort. The applied heat separates the water molecules from the fibrous collagen, causing an immediate contraction, resulting in skin tightening. Over the next few months, the secondary healing response continues as collagen is deposited and remodeled. The new collagen growth tightens the skin further over time. For smoother, tighter skin after just one treatment, with continued improvement for up to six months.
FAQs
What is Thermage®?
Thermage is a safe, non-invasive procedure that’s clinically proven to help smooth wrinkles in the skin for an overall younger looking appearance. The treatment delivers natural looking results with little to no downtime – on all skin colors, on and off the face, all in a single procedure. Since there is no surgery involved you can generally return to normal activities immediately following the procedure.
How long has Thermage been available?
The Thermage device was first cleared by the FDA in 2002. Over a million treatments have been performed in physician offices since then. Our office has been treating patients with Thermage since.
How does it work?
A handpiece with a smooth, flat tip delivers radiofrequency (RF) technology which safely heats the deep, collagen rich layers of your skin. The heat helps stimulate the formation of new collagen over time, which can reduce sagging, and improve the smoothness and texture of the skin’s surface.
How long is the treatment?
Thermage treatments average about 90 minutes for the face and up to an hour and a half for other parts of the body, depending on the size, location and condition of the area to be treated.
What parts of the body do Thermage procedures treat?
Thermage procedures can effectively and safely treat skin on most body parts, including the face, eyes, lips, tummy, arms, hands, thighs and buttocks. Thermage can also temporarily reduce the appearance of cellulite. In this office, Thermage procedures are performed on.
What kind of results can I expect?
Your skin can look smoother and more youthful as the underlying collagen is regenerated. Depending on what you have treated: Your eyes can look brighter with reduced hooding. Elsewhere on the body, wrinkled, crepey or sagging skin can appear smoother. You can also see improvement in your cellulite. Your skin will be smoother with reduced dimpling. Results vary depending on age and skin condition.
When do the results appear, and how long do they last?
Some immediate results are usually visible and improve over time in the course of your body’s natural collagen rebuilding process. For most patients, results gradually appear in the two to six months following a single treatment session. Results can last years depending on your skin condition and aging process.
How many treatments will I need?
Unlike many laser procedures requiring four or more sessions, Thermage treatment delivers results in a single treatment for most patients. We will determine the course of treatment that is right for you, based on your needs and goals.
What will I look like immediately after the procedure? Can I go right back to work?
There’s no special care needed after treatment and most patients return to their regular activities immediately following treatment.
Does it hurt?
Each time the treatment device touches your skin, you’ll feel a brief cooling sensation, followed by a deep but brief heating sensation, followed by another cooling sensation. The heating sensation is a sign that the deep layers of your skin are reaching effective temperatures for smoothing wrinkles, while the cooling sensation protects the surface of your skin. Throughout the procedure, your physician will ask for feedback on the level of heat sensation to help balance your comfort with maximum results. For Thermage CPT providers: We offer Thermage CPT®, which stands for Comfort Pulse Technology™. These treatments incorporate vibration, which has been shown to significantly improve patient comfort.
