ABOUT  THERMAGE®
Thermage® is a non-invasive procedure that uses radiofrequency energy to create an uniform heating effect in the deep dermis. This gentle heating tightens existing collagen and stimulates the production of new collagen. It reduces wrinkles and achieves brow lifting, cheek lifting and jaw line lifting. Although a few patients show immediate improvement, response to treatment for most clients is gradual with progressive improvement over 2-6 months. 80-90% of patients show noticeable effects at 6 months and the effects will last for a year.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
Thermage® treatment is all about energy focusing radiofrequency to kick start the body’s own natural renewal process. Like most smart technologies, the process is relatively simple. It’s a combination of heat energy to treat deep tissue, and cooling effects, to protect the skin surface and deliver better patients comfort.
WHICH AREAS CAN BE TREATED WITH THERMAGE®?
