Getting Older Is Inevitable - Looking It Doesn't Have To Be

Some people call it a "tired" look, while others refer to it as a "fallen down" appearance. Regardless, it's not something that you want to be called. It's not who you are. Of course, getting older is a fact of life. That's okay, because there are some positives to getting older such as knowledge. You know more about life now then you did when you were younger and you learn even more about yourself everyday. You're smarter. But, how much do you know about Thermage®? What you don't know can help you lose the "tired, fallen down" look and give you Younger Looking Skin.

Thermage® Radiofrequency Energy For Skin Rejuvenation

The looseness of skin that you see reflected in the mirror is but the tip of the iceberg. It's what you don't see - what's underneath - that's really behind the signs of aging. What's visible is but the result of the thinning and, ultimately, the disappearance of the once thick and tight collagen - known as "structural collagen" - deep underneath the skin.

Thermage® uses non-invasive, radiofrequency (RF) energy that is transformed within the skin into a thermal process to lift up brows and cheeks that have that "fallen down" look, to tighten skin around the eyes and to Flatten Your Tummy & Slim Your Waist & Thighs. And, Thermage® not only repairs the signs of aging, but can also help to prevent them on everything from the face and neck to the arms, chest, abdomen, thighs and legs.

Depending upon the size of the area being treated, your procedure could take between 1 to 2 hours. During the procedure, energy is delivered deep into the skin. This energy heats collagen, which results in an immediate tightening of the skin. This is followed by a progressive repair and rebuilding of fresh, deep collagen over a period of 6 to 9 months, ultimately achieving Lifting & Tightening - Without Surgery - all with no downtime. Skin rejuvenation can extend as long as 2 years, and can be further enhanced when combined with LipoSelection™ or Laser Lipolysis. Although there is no downtime associated with Thermage®, some patients might experience a slight redness.
