Thermage for the Face - What to Expect
Advertisement
Skin tightening and facial renewal treatments are an increasingly popular option for men and women that want to eliminate fine lines and wrinkles. Instead of turning to costly facelift surgery or using dermal fillers that only provide temporary results, skin tightening treatments such as Thermage may help restore those youthful looks with ease.
Thermage is an innovative skin tightening procedure that is commonly used to tighten up loose skin after liposuction; a facial rejuvenation procedure using the Thermage treatment process can help many people get rid of wrinkles and tighten up sagging skin in the delicate areas of the face. The procedure takes between 20 minutes to 2 hours depending on the treatment area, but offers lasting results for almost all skin types.
How Thermage for the Face Works
Many doctors tout Thermage as a non-surgical face lift because it helps to tighten, reshape and sculpt the face without needles or surgery. The treatment involves the application of radio frequency energy waves to the surface of the skin; these waves heat up the collagen deep in the dermis which then causes the collagen to contract and tighten.
After a series of treatments, the skin begins to renew itself and adapt to the new formation of skin cells; the results can be dramatic, especially for individuals who have sagging or loose skin around the jawline, eyes or soft creases around the nose and mouth.
Key Benefits of Thermage for the Face
Thermage works by tightening and toning the skin while increasing collagen production. It can be used on just one area of the face, or around the entire face for a full ‘facelift’ treatment. The key benefits of this process include:
- Toned and tightened jawline
- Reduction of fine lines and wrinkles around the eyes
- Smoother skin around the mouth
- Reduction or elimination of acne scars and skin depressions
- Elimination or reduction of fine lines on the forehead
- Reduction or elimination of a ‘double chin’
The procedure works best on those who have a long and thin face and low levels of body fat around the face. However, some surgeons may recommend mild mini-liposuction to get rid of excess fatty deposits around the face, followed by skin tightening treatments to reshape and sculpt the treated areas.
Other Information About Thermage for the Face
The makers of Thermage report that Thermage can only be performed in a doctor’s office by individuals who are Thermage-certified. The best candidates for the treatment are women between the ages of 35 and 60, and patients who already have strong skin will see the most noticeable results. Noticeable skin improvements can be seen a few days after the first treatment, but the skin will continue to tighten and contract on its own for up to six months after the procedure.
Thermage facial treatments offer a number of benefits for those who do not want to undergo facial surgery or puruse dermal fillers to restore facial volume. Learn more about Thermage in our information guide, or consult with an anti-aging specialist in your area for a Thermage consultation.
