About Thermage FLX
Thermage is a non-invasive anti-aging procedure that uses heat through radiofrequency to contour, smooth and tone the skin. The procedure has little to no downtime so it is a great option for patients with busy lifestyles. It is also a great choice for patients who want a subtle, natural and youthful appearance.
How it Works
Thermage works by gradually heating up the deep dermis to stimulate new collagen. Several passes of the treatment area are completed and then identified problem areas are targeted to ensure optimal results. Immediately post treatment, there can be mild redness and swelling which will subside by the next day. The toning and tightening come into effect gradually as it takes time for the new collagen to be formed. Improvements can be seen as early as two to three months and will continue to improve as the collagen forms over the year following treatment.
Areas of Treatment
The face: to improve conditions such as sagging skin, turkey neck, and loose jowls by stimulating collagen production.
The eyes: to minimize drooping on the upper or lower eyelids, and even improve brow position to make the patient look younger and more relaxed.
The body: to firm up the skin on parts of the body that begin to sag or bulge and even to temporarily improve the look of areas affected by cellulite.
