Thermage can be used on all skin types and can be effective for treating a variety of areas of the body, including the face, neck, abdomen, and thighs. Thermage radiofrequency treatment can be combined with liposuction to shrink loose skin in the abdomen. By virtue of its noninvasive nature combined with its high safety profile, this complementary use of Thermage and liposuction provides an attractive alternative to surgical procedures for patients who want to treat skin laxity. Thermage for body contouring is part of the ThermaCool ® System, which is FDA cleared for the noninvasive treatment of wrinkles and rhytides.
According to Dr Helina She said About Thermage The thermage is for patients with excess fat on the arms, thighs, abdomen or buttocks. “If skin laxity is the only issue, I would use the STC tip instead,” she explained. “What I’ve noticed when contouring with the deep tip is that every patient has noticed a two-inch decrease in measurements either at the waist or hip within two to three weeks of treatment. And that’s with one treatment and no downtime.” Dr. Hillelson’s patients seem just as excited about the new procedure. “I hate to say we have a 100% patient satisfaction rate because it sounds candy-coated, but it has been 95% or greater.”
Improved skin laxity: Thermage can tighten sagging skin, especially in areas such as the cheeks, jowls, and neck.
Reduced wrinkles and fine lines: Thermage can soften wrinkles and fine lines, especially around the forehead and eyes.
Increased collagen production: Thermage stimulates the body to produce more collagen, which can improve skin texture, contour, and tone.
Non-invasive: Thermage is a non-surgical treatment that does not require incisions or general anesthesia.
Minimal downtime: Thermage does not require a lengthy recovery period, and patients can usually return to their normal activities immediately after treatment.
