Thermage

Thermage is a safe, clinically proven way to tighten and contour skin, with improvements in tone, contour, and texture occurring naturally through the stimulation of your own collagen.

Thermage is completely non-invasive-no surgery, no injections. A single treatment tightens your existing collagen and stimulates new collagen growth. Improvements are both immediately visible and continue up to six months. The results can last for years.

In January of 2006, the FDA gave clearance for use of Thermage skin tightening on the entire body. The results are dramatic. Now skin laxity of abdomens, arms and legs can be tightened in the same way and with the same lasting results that are obtained when treating the face.

Also new to Thermage is the only non-surgical, FDA approved answer for tired, loose eyelids. Both wrinkling and laxity of the lower lid and hooding and tired appearace of the upper lid can show significant improvement with Thermage. Just one treatment and no surgery.

The Thermage Procedure

Thermage treatments are only performed in a doctor's office by Thermage-certified personnel. At Maia Skin, Dr. Magnus personally performs the procedure.

Normally, the complete procedure can be performed in just one session lasting from 20 minutes to two hours, depending on the treatment area. Bigger treatment areas take longer. General anesthesia is not required, but you may choose to have a light pain medication or sedative prior to treatment.

During the treatment, you'll feel a brief, sensation of heat each time Thermage acts on the deeper layers of your skin. This indicates that your collagen is being stimulated and tightened.

After treatment, your skin may be slightly red. But most people resume regular activities immediately after treatment, with no downtime or special follow-up care.

Immediate Results

You should feel and see your skin being smoother, firmer, and tighter immediately after your Thermage treatment. You may also notice some contouring effects which will begin enhancing the shape of your face.

Continued improvement over time

After the procedure, you should continue to see improvements to your skin as a result of the production of new and increased collagen, as well as some additional contouring effects due to continued tightening over time. These effects will continue for up to six months. You should see lasting results.

Unlike lasers, Thermage works on all skin types and tones. And unlike injections or fillers, Thermage works on your entire face — forehead, eyes, nasolabial folds, jaw line, jowls and the area under your chin.
