What it is: Thermage is the latest in skin rejuvenation technology with no downtime. It is a non-invasive FDA approved procedure that has the ability to tighten and gently lift the skin to smooth out wrinkles, soften nasolabial folds, improve sagging jowls, and decrease acne scarring as well as infection.
What it does: This technique uses radio frequency to heat beneath the skin's layers causing the skin’s natural collagen fibers to shrink. This stimulates the growth of new collagen, the result is tightening and firming of the surface layer that smoothes away wrinkles.
Dr. Hanna’s Notes: Thermage is effective for tightening and contouring the cheek and jaw line along with softening smile lines. The full results can take 4 to 6 months for the maximum tightening and smoothing to take effect. The end result is tighter, firmer skin, which can last two years or more. This treatment is excellent for maintaining a more youthful look! Additionally, Thermage is beneficial for all skin types and you can resume normal activities the same day. Further, the combination of Restylane and Thermage can give an excellent facelift effect without surgery.
