What is Thermage and Does it Really Work?

Everyday, thousands of computer users will go online to get information about the Thermage Procedures for erasing fine lines and wrinkles on their bodies. Most inquires ask what Thermage is and does it work?
What is Thermage:
Thermage is gaining in popularity across the nation as the safe alternative to plastic surgery. Thermage is a non-surgical skin tightening procedure that effectively eliminates subtle signs of aging in the face and around the neck, legs, tummy and buttocks and other body areas. It is FDA approved and the treatments are performed only by certified physicians, nationwide. During Thermage treatments, high levels of heat are applied to the different areas of the body using radio frequency energy, and during the heating process, collagen rebuilds itself and over time, tightens the skin and smoothes out lines and wrinkles. Just prior to a Thermage treatment, a topical anesthetic cream is applied to the area of treatment, and this numbs the skin so the patient does not feel any pain during the treatment. Anesthesia is usually not used during Thermage treatments. Most Thermage treatments last about 30 minutes, depending on the size of the area being treated.

Results:
The results of the thermage procedure will vary according to the patient’s skin and collagen fiber production. Patients who have healthier skin tend to experience more dramatic results. Over the months following the treatment, the patient’s skin should gradually improve. The gradual improvements are a result of the skin tissues healing with gradual collagen production.

Here in Hollywood, you hear and see everything new and everything to do with beauty and looking beautiful just about every minute of every day and all I am hearing about is the new CARBOXYTHERAPY stretch mark removal procedure that is catching on everywhere. There is a short treatment down time which is certainly helpful in making it popular, it is painless and very few follow up treatments are necessary. Up to recently, stretch marks were pretty much untreatable. Injecting very small amounts of carbon dioxide gas just below the surface of the skin, the procedure tricks it into increasing blood circulation to the treated area.

carboxitherapforcellulite2Carbonxytherapy causes the formation of new collagen and subsequently thickens the skin to improve the appearance of the stretch marks by rebuilding the collagen matrix. This procedure is showing great promise by softening stretch marks by increasing the blood flow to the stretch mark regions and allowing them to constrict and contract, thus blending them better with the surrounding healthy skin.

Along with stretch marks this process is also being used as a treatment for dark under eye circles, cellulite and stretch mark smoothing and removal.

While at my gym doing my daily, and almost un-noticeable daily-after-work workout routine, I could not help but notice how hard some of the guys worked at the equipment, with little positive results shown. I’ve belonged to this gym now for about 10 months and have made some friends and know where some of us started and have watched the progress on some and total lack of any positive results on others over this period. I cant help but think that many of these guys would be good patients for trying the ‘Thermage Stomach’ Procedure’ that is so popular now. ba_30_beforeba_30_after

Before After
After the procedure, some patients report a noticeable smaller waist, looser fitting clothing and skin that feels firmer and tighter with improved tone.
You will notice smoother skin texture also. Many patients see noticeable reductions in deep wrinkles and healthier skin texture. After treatment, some patients that had been suffering from stretch-marks, say their stretch marks are less noticeable and much smoother.

Thermage uses unique radiofrequency (RF) technology to safely heat the deep layers of your skin, while cooling the surface of your skin to keep it intact during the procedure. This deep heating stimulates your body’s natural skin renewal process, which helps tighten existing collagen and form new collagen. Over time, sagging or wrinkled skin is replaced with smoother, tighter skin; improved tone and texture; and an overall younger looking appearance.
