Why Thermage Suits Summer Jun:11

Thermage® is a non-invasive procedure that helps smooth and tighten your skin for an overall naturally younger looking appearance. Using radiofrequency technology, the Thermage procedure safely heats the deeper layers of your skin, stimulating existing collagen and activating new collagen growth – reducing the signs of aging skin.

Since Thermage does not utilize laser technology, it is one of the few anti-aging procedures that can be performed in the summer. There is no need to avoid the sun before and after your treatment. For the same reason, the treatment works on all skin types and colours.

This skin tightening treatment is useful for patients who have mild to moderate facial or body laxity. While the results are not as dramatic as a surgical facelift, Thermage is a safe procedure that allows you to return to your regular activities without any bruising, swelling or sutures.

Key benefits of the Thermage procedure:

• Summer-friendly – no need to avoid the sun
• Only a single treatment is needed
• Little to no downtime – return to your regular activities after treatment
• Improvement to the skin continues for up to twelve months post-procedure

What Can Thermage Do for Me?

Thermage can be used on the face, eyes and body. On the face it treats sagging skin, wrinkles and fine lines around the mouth or forehead; and lack of definition in the jaw line and under the chin. For the eye area it treats excess skin on the upper eyelid (also known as “hooding”) and crepey eyelids. On the body it treats the appearance of cellulite; and wrinkled, crepey or sagging skin on the stomach, knees, arms, legs or buttocks. This last treatment is popular after pregnancy or weight loss.

What is Thermage CPT?

Pacific Dermaesthetics utilizes the technologically advanced Thermage CPT (Comfort Pulse Technology™), which provides a faster, more comfortable skin tightening treatment with better results than the previous model. The Thermage CPT system utilizes a vibrating hand piece that provides the most comfortable Thermage procedure yet - often eliminating the need for pain medication. A more uniform heat delivery to the treatment area via redesigned treatment tips creates consistent, beautiful results.

What Can I Expect?

Only one session is needed and takes approximately two hours. Immediate results are subtle but continue to improve for up to twelve months following treatment due to new collagen growth. Results can last for years depending on your skin condition and natural again process.
