NO SURGERY, NO INJECTIONS, NO DOWNTIME

FACE BY THERMAGE
®
  • SINGLE TREATMENT.  Generally some improvement is immediately visible and continues for up to six months.
  • LITTLE OR NO DOWNTIME.  After a treatment, you can quickly get back to your normal routine .
  • FACE BY THERMAGE® IS COLOR BLIND.  Unlike lasers, Face By Thermage works on all skin types and colors.
  • THE YEAR ROUND PROCEDURE.    After a Face by Thermage® procedure,  you do not have to avoid the sun as with a laser treatment.  Schedule your Thermage® procedure in the summer or any time that's right for you.
Do you feel that you no longer look as young as you feel. If the mirror doesn't reflect the way you feel on the inside, now there's a way to turn back the clock.  The FACE BY THERMAGE®  procedure helps to smooth, tighten and  contour  facial skin, softening wrinkles around the  mouth, eyes and forehead, giving you improved skin texture and reducing the sagging of your skin. Thermage® also affects deep beneath the skin surface, helping to redefine your jawline and reduce excess skin under the chin, all in a single treatment.


EYES BY THERMAGE®  
Thermage® is the first and only company to receive FDA clearance for non-invasive eyelid treatments. EYES BY THERMAGE® helps smooth and tighten skin around the eyes and eyelids, decreasing wrinkles, lines and hooding. You'll have younger looking, more lifted eyes that look less tired. Plus, the smoother skin of your eyelids will make it easier to apply makeup.


Q & A


What Does The Procedure Feel Like?
When the energy is applies, you will feel a deep, but brief, heating sensation, which is an indication that collagen is reaching effective temperatures for tightening.  To protect the surface of your skin, a cooling spray is delivered before, during and after each application of energy. You will be asked for feedback on the level of heat sensation experienced during the procedure to help balance your comfort with maximum benefits.

Is The Procedure Safe?
Thermage® has an excellent safety record.  Of course, as with any procedure, there's always some risk. Side effects are generally mild and may include redness, swelling, blisters, bumps and rare instances of surface irregularities.


How Long Will The Results Last?
The procedure stimulates new natural collagen production for up to six months following a single treatment. Results can last for years depending your skin condition and natural aging process.


How Long Before I Can Return To My Normal Activities?
There is no special care needed after the procedure and most patients return to their regular activities immediately following the treatment.  Some people may experience mild redness, but it usually disappears quickly.
