Thermage Unveils Cellulite Solution for Trouble Spots


Advertisement

With its continued success in body contouring and skin tightening treatments, Thermage has become one of the leading non-invasive surgery options for skin rejuvenation. Thermage is designed to treat fine lines, wrinkles and aging skin by stimulating collagen growth and improving the texture of the skin.   

Now the technology can be used to zap away cellulite as well; Thermage has released a cellulite tip that works with the radiofrequency device to penetrate deep within the skin’s layers and stimulates the treatment area to smooth out the skin’s surface. If you’ve been struggling with unsightly cellulite on the thighs, abdomen, back or arms, a Thermage treatment may be able to break down cellulite and firm up the surrounding skin – all without surgery.  

The Cellulite Tip from Thermage  

After 21 months of clinical research and development, the FDA has approved the ThermaTip CL and ThermaCool system as a temporary solution for cellulite reduction. The cellulite tip is an attachment for the Thermage device that also delivers radiofrequency energy to the deepest layer of skin, only this time, the goal is to break down fatty tissue and encourage natural fat removal.   

Cellulite is a result of fat pockets that expand with an increase in water levels. This creates the ‘dimpled’ effect that millions of men and women have come to loathe, but few people can successfully get rid of cellulite with diet and exercise alone. Liposuction and laser lipo procedures are a few options available, but these can be painful and offer varied results. Thermage presents a non-invasive option for reducing the appearance of cellulite and enhancing the skin in the process.  

The ThermaTip CL treatment works by heating up the skin and breaking down the fatty tissues. After that, the treatment helps to rebuild collagen and encourages the tissues to heal for a smooth and natural appearance. The entire process can take up to two hours depending on the treatment area, and can be used for trouble spots including the abdomen, inner thighs and back. Innovations MedSpa in Dallas, Texas is one of the first treatment centers in the U.S. to offer the cellulite-reducing technology, and patients are already enjoying immediate results after just one session. According to American Health and Beauty, Thermage has produced noticeable results in over 450,000 patients and continues to be one of the most popular cosmetic treatments for men and women alike.  

The addition of the ThermaTip CL means your Thermage treatment could also be a valuable cellulite removal solution. It’s designed for anyone who wants to get rid of dimpled skin and unsightly fatty deposits, along with their skin tightening treatment. Thermage treatments can only be performed by a Thermage-certified professional, and are available at several medical spas and cosmetic surgeons’ offices across the country.   

The Thermage Procedure

If chemical peels and body wraps at the spa aren’t helping to tighten and tone up your skin, a Thermage treatment may be the next step for creating a more youthful appearance. As a skin tightening treatment, Thermage is a safe and effective way to tighten and tone the skin without surgery; the procedure can be used as an alternative to a facelift, and can be combined with other facial and skin rejuvenation procedures to eliminate the signs of aging. Plus, Thermage can be used to tighten up loose or sagging skin on any area of the body.
