What is the Thermage procedure?
The Thermage procedure is an advanced method for tightening loose skin that requires only the touch of a sophisticated treatment tip to your skin. The treatment tip delivers radiofrequency energy just millimeters under the surface of the skin without the need for incisions, injections, or surgery.Is it safe?
The Thermage procedure is very safe. Although it is possible that skin damage can occur, it is usually temporary. This treatment has been carefully studied in hundreds of patients with minimal reports of adverse events. It is common to experience mild redness or swelling after the procedure. For treatment of the face, it is also common to experience some mild soreness under the jawbone. The side effects are minimal compared to traditional face-lifts or other surgical tightening procedures. How long is the procedure?
The Thermage procedure can take from one-half hour to an hour and thirty minutes depending on the body part(s) to be treated. A typical Thermage "face lift" procedure may take one hour. Drs. Magaziner and Greenberg offer treatment to the neck, lower and mid face, eyes, brow and forehead. Other areas of the body can also be treated to tighten loose skin. When will I see results?
Recently published studies conducted by Thermage show that measurable tightening improvements appear gradually over 2 to 6 months after a single treatment. In some cases, our physicians have obtained dramatic results in as little as three weeks. How many treatments will I need?
A single Thermage treatment has produced good results in the majority of patients. During your consult, our doctors will assess the quality and laxity of your skin to determine the treatment schedule. Furthermore, we will discuss and recommend complementary therapies to assist in skin rejuvenation such as diet, nutrient supplements, and the Obagi Nu-Derm system. How long before I can return to my normal activities?
Most people return to their regular activities shortly after having the procedure. This compares most favorably to a face-lift, which often is accompanied by severe swelling, bruising, pain, and a lengthy period of recovery before returning to normal activities. Do I need to do anything special for my skin following the procedure?
There is no special care required. Patients can continue to follow their skin health regimen as recommended by our physicians. Makeup can be used immediately after the procedure. Sunscreen is recommended for good skin care. How does Thermage work?
The Thermage procedure uses a special treatment tip to deliver radiofrequency energy into the collagen layers of the skin. This form of energy produces a heating action to cause a tightening of the collagen. Over a period of about 6 months, new collagen grows to further tighten your skin and produce a more youthful, vibrant, natural appearance. Our patients describe it as "turning back the hands of time". Many patients prefer the look of natural rejuvenation that Thermage provides versus the "pulled" appearance of a face lift. What is collagen?
Collagen is a protein molecule that supports the structure of the skin. Over time, collagen becomes depleted or damaged by the sun, smoking, dietary or environmental factors. Collagen also becomes depleted during the aging process, and is usually controlled by heredity. The results are visible signs of aging, such as loose skin, wrinkles, and fine lines. What does the Thermage procedure feel like?
With each touch of the Thermage treatment tip, you will experience a brief intense heating sensation as the collagen in deep layers of your skin is tightened. To protect your skin and make the treatment more comfortable, a cooling spray is delivered during the application of the treatment tip. Additionally, as part of pretreatment, a pain medication is given to reduce the discomfort of the heat sensation.
