Thermage

Thermage®, a medical device company founded in 1995, has developed an advanced FDA approved method for tightening skin through radio frequency. “Thermage® requires no incisions, no recovery time and can be completed in less than an hour.” BodyNew MedSpa is the leading provider of Thermage treatments in Arizona.

The tip of the hand unit for the ThermaCool TC™ delivers a brief, intense heating sensation that tightens the deep collagen fibers of the skin and its underlying tissue. This deep thermal tightening of collagen bands also signals a natural biological repair process that causes additional skin tightening and restoration resulting in a younger skin appearance. There are no topical anesthetics required for Thermage® because the device has a cooling system built in.

Generally, a single Thermage® treatment can produce good results. The Thermage® system is in no way a replacement for the traditional “facelift” procedure, but is an effective alternative for those not needing or wanting a surgical facelift. The results of the Thermage® treatment are not typically instantaneous; but the tightening occurs gradually over a six month period.

The Thermage® procedure reduces the signs of aging skin by actually tightening the underlying tissue. It is currently used for non-surgical brow lifts and the non-surgical tightening of facial wrinkles on the forehead, around the eye, the mid and lower face and the neck. The Thermage® procedure is also known as ThermaLift, Thermal Lifting, Therma Plasty and Thermoplastic contouring.

Eyes by Thermage™

Eyes by Thermage™ is a procedure that smooths and tightens skin and decreases wrinkles and hooding in the eye area without surgery, injections or downtime. You’ll have younger looking, more lifted eyes that look less tired. Plus, the smoother skin of your eyelids will make it easier to apply eye shadow and eyeliner. Eyes by Thermage™ only takes about one hour, and because there is no bruising, swelling or sutures, you can apply make-up and return to your normal routine after the procedure.

How does Thermage® work?
The Thermage® radio-frequency (RF) energy uniformly heats the dermis while cooling and protecting the epidermis. Thermage® is designed to cause immediate collagen contraction followed by new collagen production which occurs over a period of time.

What does a Thermage® Procedure feel like?
Each time a Thermage® treatment is delivered, there is an immediate cool sensation followed by a brief hot sensation, followed again by a cool sensation.

How long will the Thermage® Procedure take?
Depending on the size of the area treated, the Thermage® procedure itself may take anywhere from thirty minutes to an hour.

After the Thermage® treatment, when can I return to my normal activities?
You may return to your normal activities immediately after your Thermage® treatment, as there is usually no “downtime.” Minimal redness is seen in some patients but in most cases it disappears shortly after treatment. Heat-related complications may occur but are uncommon. There is no special care needed after a Thermage® treatment. As part of your skin care program, sunscreen is recommended.

When will I notice results from my Thermage® treatment?
Recently published studies, conducted by Thermage®, show that measurable tightening improvements appear gradually over 2 to 6 months after a single treatment session. However, many patients report seeing an earlier response to Thermage®.

How many Thermage® treatments will I need?
A single Thermage® treatment has produced good results in a significant number of patients. However, your practitioner will assess the number and frequency of Thermage® treatments required to achieve optimal results for your skin.

How long will the effects of the Thermage® Procedure last?
The Thermage® procedure causes tightening of the collagen structure over time. Unpublished reports by experienced physicians indicate that Thermage® treatment results may last as long as 18 months or longer, based on the patient's natural aging process.

How safe is Thermage®?
The Thermage® procedure is very safe. Although it is possible that skin damage can occur, this advanced treatment has been studied carefully in hundreds of patients with minimal reports of lasting adverse effects.
