When the telltale signs of aging begin to show up on your face – fine lines around the eyes, wrinkles around the mouth or sagging skin under the jawline – a facial rejuvenation treatment can help restore your youthful looks. Skin tightening treatments such as Thermage are just one of several anti aging procedures that can erase a few years and give your skin a boost. 

Thermage works by stimulating the muscles and fibers deep within the skin’s surface, and as the heat causes the skin fibers to contract, the body begins to produce collagen at a rapid rate. Collagen is the essential compound that gives skin that tight and firm appearance. 

If you want to look younger and restore your skin to good health, here are seven reasons why Thermage skin tightening treatments could be your best anti aging treatment of choice:

#1: Thermage Reduces the Appearance of Scars

Plumping up the skin and increasing collagen production can help reduce the appearance of scars, a common side effect of the aging process. Scars can develop after acne, or just from day-to-day activities. Since aging skin does not heal very quickly, a skin tightening treatment can increase the rate of healing to create a smoother texture.

#2: Thermage Tightens Up Crow’s Feet

If you’re not interested in trying injectable fillers to plump up fine lines and wrinkles around the eyes, Thermage can help tighten and tone up the skin in this delicate area.  Thermage treatments applied near the eye and eyebrow area can give you an instant ‘lift’, and results will improve after a period of a few weeks.

#3: Thermage Helps Reduce the Appearance of Wrinkles 

A single skin tightening treatment won’t get rid of wrinkles immediately, but it can help reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles in key areas of the face. Skin tightening treatments work best after a period of a few weeks, and you’ll slowly start to see wrinkles diminish as the skin rebuilds and repairs itself.

#4: Thermage Reduces Sagging Skin Under the Chin

Jowels or loose skin right under the jawline can give away your age, but Thermage can be applied to these key areas to tighten and tone this trouble spot. Thermage is specially effective at tightening and toning the neck and lower cheek areas to create a smooth and contoured appearance.

#5: Thermage Helps with Laugh Lines

Laugh lines may be attractive to some people but can give away your real age. Laugh lines develop from overusing the facial muscles around the mouth and lower cheeks, and only become deeper with age (and more laughing). Thermage can help reduce these lines to create a smoother, more youthful look.

#6: Thermage Improves the Contours of the Face

When you’re tightening and toning key facial muscles and areas of the face, your facial contours become more streamlined and appear smoother. Thermage can recreate a more youthful face shape and results will only improve over time.

#7:  Thermage Increases Collagen Production for the Long-Term

Even if you undergo just one or two Thermage sessions, your body will continue to produce collagen at a higher-than-average rate for weeks after the treatment.  This means you can maintain results naturally for months after the procedure, keeping your face looking smooth and young for the long-term.
