Thermage

Thermage is a safe and effective peak technology method capable of giving back the proper texture and tonicity of a rejuvenated skin. It is a completely non invasive technique because it does not use surgical means or injections. Instead, Thermage functions by heating the fibers of the skin collagen and underlying tissue, through the employment of a technology of capacitive radiofrequency, while the surface of the skin is protected with a cooling spray. The uniform and deep heating action provokes an immediate reaffirmation in the skin structures that is caused by the safe heating of the intermediate layer and the net of collagen of the internal layer. Thus an increase of the production of collagen is obtained that will tighten and stretch the skin causing a modeling of the face contour. The tonicity and texture achieved through Thermage occurs in a natural way by the stimulation of the proper collagen.

Thermage can act on skin of any type and color. The effects of this technology become gradually visible in a period of two to six months after only one treatment and, depending of each person, its results can last for a prolonged period of time. One unique session lasting between 30 minutes to two hours is necessary for having a new youthful face.

Only a professional accredited by Thermage is capacitated for treatments with this technique. The best results are obtained in patients between 35 and 60 years of age. After the treatment the skin may remain lightly reddened for one or two days. Most of the patients can retake their daily activities after the intervention without the need of any special care.

Thousands of patients have been treated with Thermage and over 2,500 dermatologists, plastic surgeons and esthetic physicians all over the world are using this technique.

It is a treatment that can be combined with other procedures frequently employed in esthetic medicine as: Botulinus Toxin, glycolic acid peelings and others. In the last instance, it is up to the physician to determine what combination of therapy is adequate to each case, according to the patient’s needs and expectations.
