Thermage Thermalift is a noninvasive, FDA approved procedure that tightens sagging tissue by using radio frequency technology. The radio frequency is able to reach the deep dermis and subcutaneous skin tissues and heat them up. This deep heating not only tightens up the collagen already in the tissue, but stimulates the growth of new collagen. Consequently, younger-looking, smoother skin is the result of this nonsurgical treatment.
However, the deep heating is only part of the treatment. At the same time as the deep heating is occurring, the Thermage Thermalift procedure is also cooling the epidermis, or outside surface of the skin. This cooling keeps the outside layer free of any heat and potential burns, and so there is no recovery time needed. Patients can quickly return to their daily commitments.
One of the best features of Thermage Thermalit is that only one treatment is required, which lasts 45 minutes to one hour.
The results of the treatment become evident gradually as the collagen tightens and grows. Some patients notice their skin looking less wrinkled in a few weeks. Generally, skin improvement is noticeable within 3 to 6 months.
Thermage Thermalift is beneficial to those individuals who want to lose those wrinkles and fine lines around the eyes, forehead, and mouth. It also helps eliminate the sagging skin under the chin and jaw. It has also been approved to treat acne and the scarring associated with acne.
Thermage Thermalift has also been FDA approved for treatment on the rest of the body. If the skin is wrinkled or sagging on the legs, knees, buttocks, tummy, arms and hands, Thermage Thermalift can tighten up the skin without surgery.
