Thermage RF Skin Tightening Vancouver
Reverse the skin sagging effects of aging.
Thermage is a non-invasive cosmetic treatment that uses radiofrequency energy to help improve the appearance of aging skin. The treatment is designed to stimulate the body's natural collagen production, which can help to tighten and lift sagging skin, reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and improve skin texture and tone.
Thermage can be used to treat the following areas:
Face
Eyes
Neck
Body
During the treatment, a handheld device is used to deliver controlled radiofrequency energy to the skin. The device is passed over the treatment area, gradually heating the underlying layers of skin to a precise temperature. This heat energy stimulates collagen production and remodeling, which can help to improve the appearance of aging skin.
Most patients report feeling a mild to moderate heat sensation during the treatment, which is typically well-tolerated. The treatment can take anywhere from 30 minutes to several hours, depending on the size and number of treatment areas.
After the treatment, patients may experience some mild redness, swelling, or discomfort at the treatment site. These side effects are typically temporary and should resolve on their own within a few days to a week.
The results of Thermage are typically gradual and can be seen over several months following the treatment. The results can be long-lasting with proper maintenance, although individual results may vary depending on factors such as the patient's age, skin type, and overall health.
Overall, Thermage is a non-invasive alternative to more invasive procedures like facelift surgery, with little to no downtime. If you are considering a Thermage treatment, it's important to discuss your individual needs and concerns with a qualified healthcare provider to determine if the treatment is right for you.
How It Works
1. As we age, the collagen fibers under the skin surface start to weaken, resulting in increased wrinkles and decreased skin volume.
2. Thermage uses heat to stimulate collagen under the skin, while the cooling tip helps with patient comfort.
3. The applied heat causes separation of water molecules from collagen tissue, resulting in contraction of collagen and tissue tightening.
4. Over the next few months, new collagen growth occurs to further reduce skin laxity and increase skin volume.
5. New collagen growth tightens the skin further over time.
6. Smoother, tighter skin occurs immediately with just one treatment, with additional tightening that occurs over the next 6 months.
