What is Thermage ?


Thermage is a radiofrequency treatment to eliminate bulges, dimples, and other skin irregularities. It remodels the collagen within the skin to smooth and tighten it. It also stimulates the tissue to build more collagen. Thermage works to reverse the signs of aging and sun damage. Radiofrequency therapy can help shrink jowls and sagging skin at the corners of the mouth. Treatments can be completed in under 90 minutes, and normal activities can be resumed immediately after a session. The skin on the face, neck, and hands can be treated with Thermage.

Thermage Downtime and Recovery


Recovery from Thermage treatment occurs very quickly. Since the procedure is non-invasive, there are no surgical incisions to heal. The skin will immediately feel tight and firm. There may be some redness and soreness for a few days. Bumps or mild burning may occur and will resolve within a week. Follow-up treatments may be necessary to achieve the desired goals.

Alternatives to Thermage


Mini facelift 

The mini facelift surgical procedure uses small incisions to tighten and smooth the face giving it a more pleasing appearance. This procedure is often used to diminish wrinkles and lines, eliminate sagging neck skin, and eliminate flabbiness. The mini facelift is directed at the facial area and does not typically affect the neck region. Results are considered permanent and can last for 12 years.

 

Dermal Fillers

Dermal fillers are agents that are injected into the skin to establish a more healthy-appearing face. They are usually injected into areas where muscles have stopped contracting to reduce lines and wrinkles. Dermal fillers can be deposited in under an hour, and effects last up to 18 months. Since the treatment does not require surgery, patients typically experience minor pain and rapid recovery time.  

 

Botulinum toxin 

Botox is administered through an injection into the muscles and causes wrinkles to disappear. This happens because the muscles relax and give the skin a chance to soften and flatten out. This results in brighter, healthier appearing skin. Botox treatments are completed in a short period of time, and regular activities can be resumed right after the injection. Results are frequently seen within a week of treatment and last for six months.
