Dr. Bill Johnson, of Innovations Medspa, studying instant effects of Thermage 16.0 on Cellulite.
Dallas, TX—January 26, 2009 - Dr. Bill Johnson’s Innovations MedSpa, a pinnacle award winner for Thermage procedures, announced it is conducting clinical trials on cellulite reduction using the new Thermage 16.0 procedure.
The clinical trial will consist of 6-10 Stage #2 cellulite patients, in or close to their ideal weight range, and multiple skin types. The trial will be performed at Innovations Medspa by Thermage technician Linda Porter.
The goal will be to show an instantaneous reduction in cellulite, in one treatment, without any downtime.
The latest tip from Thermage, 16.0, is a body tip that treats both cellulite and body shaping.
"In our clinical trial evaluation, we saw results in both areas and every patient saw an instant reduction in his or her problem area. One patient lost 3cm instantly, an additional 6cm at 3 months post, and 2cm more at 6 months. This is an 11cm total reduction in abdomen circumference in a 6 month period." – Dr. Bill Johnson
The 16cm2 is larger than previous tips and cuts the treatment time in half, making this treatment much more convenient than the original Deep Contouring Thermage. The average time an Innovations Medspa Thermage technician needs is 45 minutes per 16.0 tip.
Patient comfort is also improved due to the quickness of the procedure. Only doctors with the new, updated NXT Thermage machine will have access to this brand new technology.
"The speed of the new 16.0 tip allows Innovations Medspa to perform more procedures in the same day than with previous tips. We are very excited that more patients can experience their own great results more quickly." -Dr. Bill Johnson
Dr. Johnson and Innovations Medspa have performed more Thermage procedures than any other practice in the United States.
In 2008, Innovations MedSpa was the only practice in Fort Worth to receive the Pinnacle Award, the highest award given by Thermage.
To date, Innovations MedSpa has performed more treatments with the 16.0 Tip than any other Thermage practice in the nation.
Thermage 16.0
Thermage 16.0, built off the Thermage DC and CL design, helps tighten, firm and shape the body in a single treatment without surgery, injections, all with little to no downtime. Thermage is the only non-invasive procedure available that tightens and renews your skin's collagen in all three layers.
Thermage's unique Capacitive Radiofrequency (CRF) technology safely heats your skin's underlayer and the web of collagen in the inner layer, causing an immediate tightening as well as improved tone and texture. The improvements will continue and become even more noticeable for six to nine months following treatment due to new collagen growth.
The new 16cm2 tip heats 79% deeper than the original Thermage tips for increased collagen tightening in the subcutaneous layer of the skin for the abdomen, "love handles," thighs, buttocks and arm areas.
The treatment is ideal for patients who are not significantly overweight but want deep tightening of sagging skin and reduction of unwanted bulges.
