THERMAGE/ THERMACOOL

ThermaCool™ Thermoplasty Non-Surgical Face-Lift: Uplifts and Tightens Skin Without Surgery. A Face-Lift from the inside out in an average 1-2 treatments

Thermacool uses radio frequency (RF) waves to “lift” and tighten the skin and provides an alternative to traditional face lifts. It is a non-invasive, no downtime procedure that tightens existing collagen and builds new collagen to lift the sags and improve wrinkles.

ThermaCool gives patients results without the pulled appearance that often accompanies a face-lift. Patients need not take time off from work or undergo the risks of anesthesia. This medical device utilizes radio frequency energy- the same heat and energy that surgeons have used in surgery to stop bleeding. ThermaCool uses this heat and energy to tighten existing collagen and stimulate new collagen growth. This combination of tightening and new growth results in lifting the sags and improving wrinkles with no cutting, bruising, swelling or downtime. It may very well revolutionize plastic surgery, delaying or even eliminating “going under the knife” for a face lift.

How does it work?

The ThermaCool produces heat energy in the deeper layers of skin where it tightens the collagen already present. This heat causes a wound healing response resulting in the development of new collagen. The end result is tighter, firmer skin. It’s amazing to be able to damage from the outside and get the improvement on the inside without anything showing on the surface. Nothing, that is, until those improvements tighten and lift the skin.

The treatment session takes about 40 minutes. Our Thermacool treatments are done using the newest head available where each treatment pulse is only 1.6 second. Patients leave the office looking and feeling normal. There are no restrictions in activity afterwards. And the energy is unaffected by skin pigment, so dark or light can be treated. Results are achieved as early as one month, or average 3-4 months.
