Be sure to ask about the NEW Thermage Cellulite Procedure
Thermage is a simple new cosmetic procedure that reduces the appearance of aging skin through a non-surgical method of applying radiofrequency energy to the skin. Patients who have undergone Thermage have been thrilled with their new younger look. If your skin has suffered over time, from sun damage, smoking, or just the effects of plain old age, there is a terrific alternative to plastic surgery available to you now. Results can begin to appear in as little as 3 weeks. This procedure is also known as Thermal Face Lift, ThermaCool or Therma Cool and was featured on Oprah on December 8, 2005. When Thermage treatment is combined with Fraxel laser resurfacing, it is sometimes referred to as ThermaFrax.
Thermage, Inc. recently launched two new special indications for the ThermaCool treatment. Body by Thermage is used to treat lax skin on the arms, back, abdomen, thighs, and buttocks.
Eyes by Thermage is a non surgical blepharoplasty designed to treat crow's feet, drooping eyelids, and/or tired-looking eyes. Thermage was featured on Oprah's "Sinkers or Saggers" program
