Thermage ThermaCool Eyes by Thermage Body by Thermage Thermage Face Lift
A non-surgical alternative to the facelift
Now available in select cities, the NEW Thermage ThermaCool is the next generation of Thermage, with faster treatment times, larger treatment tips, and no increase in price.
The main advantage of New Thermage Thermacool is a larger treatment tip, measuring 3 x 3 centimeters, which facilitates faster, more comfortable, and almost immediate results for the same price as original Thermage.
Everyone has wrinkles, whether from laughing or crying too much, too much fun in the sun or plain old age. Sagging skin and discoloration tend to increase with the years, though for some people this natural progression is something to avoid at any cost.
Enter the Thermage ThermaCool skin-tightening and tone-evening treatment: a non-invasive procedure which tightens and contours for a naturally younger looking appearance with no surgery, injections, and little to no downtime. A patient benefits after a single treatment with results that can last for years
Why Choose Thermage?
Each individual has a different vision of what they consider acceptable skin appearance. For one person this means even skin tone, for another the absence of all wrinkles is a critical component to self-confidence. Having comfort in one's own skin comes from many factors and appearance is a valid reason. Other motivations for undergoing a Thermage treatment include boosting self-esteem, avoiding traditional face life surgery, renewing facial contours and decreasing signs of age.
How Thermage - ThermaCool Works
How can a skin treatment that does not require lasers, injections or surgery create consistent results that can last for years? The secret is in tightening all three layers of the skin, rather than focusing on only the top layer like many other current skin renewal treatments.
The facial skin is made up of three layers: the epidermis, the collagen-rich inner layer called the dermis, and the third layer called the subcutaneous layer. In order to receive a comprehensive change in the skin's appearance and health, all three layers must be transformed.
Therma Cool targets the collagen incorporated in the under layers with Capacitive Radiofrequency (CRF) technology that tightens and contours the skin to create a smoother tone and more youthful appearance. A treatment will last from 20 minutes to 2 hours depending on the areas of skin the patient wishes to treat. One of the most compelling reasons for the Thermage popularity is its instant-gratification factor. Results begin immediately as soon as treatment takes place and improvements to the skin's texture and appearance will continue as new collagen grows, often for months.
This one-stop shop can work wonders on all types of skin needs from wrinkles to discoloration from overexposure to the sun or tanning beds to loose skin that occurs with the natural aging process. Although women aged 35-60 usually have the best results, anyone interested in changing his or her skin is encouraged to consult with a doctor to discuss Thermage treatment options.
What to Expect from Your Treatment
One aspect of Thermage that sets it apart from other cosmetic surgery procedures is that during the treatment session no anesthesia is needed. Upon request by the patient, a pain medication may be used prior to the start of the procedure, however, pain is minimal. Patients should expect to feel a heat sensation each time the CRF releases energy into the layer of skin and the most common side effects include a reddening of the skin that may last for a few days.
Typically a person can resume normal activity on the same day as treatment without any inhibitions. The Thermage procedure has a proven track record of safety with a reported incidence of adverse effects less than 0.4% within 190,000 treatments worldwide. As with any cosmetic enhancement or change, the risk of long-term negative effects is a possibility. However, with proper preparation and consideration of the process most patients can expect to have a fully harmless experience.
In order to get the most out of a Thermage treatment, patients are encouraged to ask many questions in a discussion setting with a qualified physician. Having answers to questions about risks, realistic results, experience-level of the surgeon and appropriate techniques to request will make the process smoother and more comfortable for both patient and doctor. Financial responsibilities are another aspect to discuss with a doctor prior to agreeing on a treatment. Thermage costs in the United States range from $1,000 to $5,000 with variations depending on the location of treatment and the physician conducting the procedure.
Thermage is a safe and innovative new cosmetic procedure that provides a non-surgical method for tightening loose skin and wrinkles using radiofrequency energy. This procedure is also known by the names ThermaCool, Radiothermaplasty, and ThermaLift. It is normally used to treat the neck, lower and mid face, forehead, eyes, and brow, but other parts of the body can be treated as well (see Thermage for Stretch Marks).
Thermage Thermacool is a safe and simple procedure that reduces the appearance of aging skin. Your skin is supported by collagen, which is a naturally occurring protein in your body that can become depleted by the age, environment, diet, smoking, or sun damage.
The Thermacool procedure typically lasts for 30 to 90 minutes depending on how much area is being treated. Radiofrequency energy is directed just below the surface of the skin into the collagen with no surgery, injections, or incisions. During the treatment, a cooling spray may be used to make the procedure more comfortable and protect your skin. You may also be given a pain medication to reduce discomfort.
Over the next 6 months, your skin will slowly begin to produce more collagen, filling in the lines and grooves in your skin and producing a younger, more vibrant appearance. Many patients who have undergone Thermage have been thrilled with their new younger look. Results can begin to appear in as little as 3 weeks.
Thermage is very safe, but with any medical procedure there are a few risks involved. Some of the complications that can occur include temporary skin damage, mild redness or swelling, or mild pain beneath the jaw. It is important to point out that these side effects are minor compared to those of a traditional face lift. Discuss the risks and any questions or concerns you have with your physician before the procedure.
Recovery is very easy and most people can return to their regular activities right away. Other rejuvenation therapies may be recommended such as diet, nutritional supplements, or the Obagi Nu-Derm system.
This procedure is also sometimes referred to as Therma Cool, ThermaLift, Thermal Lifting, ThermaFrax, Therma Plasty, Thermoplastic contouring, Radiofrequency Skin Lift, ThermalCool, ThermoCool, and Non-surgical Skin Tightening
