Tightened, toned and blemish-free skin isn’t reserved for fashion models or those blessed with good genes; thanks to today’s innovative laser technologies and radio energy therapies in the skincare industry, non-invasive treatments can help reduce the signs of aging and improve the quality of almost any skin type for a lifetime.   

The ThermaCool system uses Thermage technology, and is one of the latest innovative radioenergy wave treatments available at your cosmetic surgeon’s office. The treatment takes less than an hour to administer and produces results after just one week. If you’re looking for a non-invasive alternative to facelift surgery, the ThermaCool Facelift could be a valuable procedure for getting the results you want.  Here’s what to expect with the ThermaCool Facelift:  

How the ThermaCool Facelift Works  

The Thermage device makes use of radio frequency energy waves to target the skin tissues, and can be used to treat loose and sagging skin on the body, in addition to the face. The ThermaCool Facelift is designed to tighten and tone the skin on key areas of the face such as the neck, around the jawline, and around the eyes. It is especially effective in targeting crow’s feet, helping to strengthen and tighten the fragile tissues around the eyes and stimulating collagen production.   

Thermage can be administered on the:

• Brow area – to ‘lift’ the eyes and tighten and firm skin above the eyelid and around the edges of the eyes
• Cheeks – to increase the firmness and density of the skin, especially in hollowed areas that are no longer responding to topical treatments
• Forehead – to tighten up sagging skin and reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines. This can be a valuable, long-term solution for wrinkle removal on the forehead, and may even be a better investment than BOTOX
• Jawline – Thermage can be administered to tighten up loose and sagging skin along the jawline and upper neck areas  

Key Benefits of the ThermaCool Facelift  

The ThermaCool procedure offers several benefits for both young and old patients; you can expect results after just one treatment, and it is effective for all skin types. Other key benefits of the ThermaCool facelift include:

• Continuous collagen-building in key areas – once the collagen has been stimulated in the skin’s layers, you can look forward to continued improvements in your appearance as cells turnover every few weeks
• Safer than a laser – Thermage and the ThermaCool system are non-invasive antiaging techniques that safely heat up your skin without scarring, burning or incisions No downtime – you can return to daily activities a few hours after the treatment, so you don’t have to schedule recovery time or adjust your schedule to accommodate for the procedure
• Cost savings on anti-aging treatments – undergoing a ThermaCool Facelift means you can cut costs on antiaging products and skin rejuvenation therapies over time. 

When your skin is naturally producing collagen on a regular basis, you may not even need topical treatments and serums as part of your skincare regiment.
