The process is through a radio frequency (RF) technology that safely stimulates the body’s ability to produce collagen.
Through the aging process, skin can lose its elasticity due to the breakdown of collagen cells, causing wrinkled, crepey, sagging skin as well as cellulite. Thermage works by targeting the deeper layers of skin, stimulating existing collagen and new collagen growth for smoother, more youthful looking skin.
Benefits of Thermage
- Reduces sagging or crepey skin
- Softens appearance of wrinkles and fine lines
- Diminishes appearance of cellulite
- Improves Firmness of Skin
- Little to no downtime
- Noticeable results in just one treatment
- Effective for all skin types
What to Expect
The Thermage treatment takes approximately one hour per region.
- A topical numbing agent will be applied to the area 20 minutes prior to treatment. Patients with sensitive skin can request a light pain medication prior to the procedure.
- The practitioner will then guide the hand-piece over the treated area.
- During the treatment patients tend to feel a brief sensation of heat with each pulse. However, the practitioner will adjust the heat intensity levels to maintain the patient’s comfort.
- Recovery time is minimal with some patients noticing smoother and tighter results almost immediately. Most patients tend to see the most dramatic results two to six months after treatment as the collagen continues to produce. Although rare, minor swelling or redness can occur but usually resolves after 24 hours.
Results
Thermage results are immediate and continuous. Just one of our state-of-the-art Beverly Hills Thermage treatments can give results that last up to several years, depending on the patient’s aging process. In some cases, a follow-up session is recommended to patients after one year.
