The “Non-Surgical Face Lift”

Thermage is an exciting new non-surgical procedure that offers an innovative way to rejuvenate your face…without surgery. It involves the application of radio frequency energy to your face. This energy strategically heats collagen, which composes your skin. In response to heat, your loose, weakened, and disorganized collagen will strengthen, tighten, and become organized. This translates into tighter, younger-appearing skin…all without surgery! (Caution: Continue reading before you decide that Thermage is the best thing since sliced bread).

The Benefits of Thermage

Thermage will provide the following benefits in many people:

• Tighter skin
• Improved jowling
• Tightened Jawline
• Tighter skin under your chin
• Higher eyebrows
• Softer forehead lines
• Softer scowl lines
• Softer crow’s feet
• Softer nasolabial creases (around nose and mouth)
• Reduced active acne
• Softening of acne scars
• Unlike laser treatments, Thermage works just as well on people with darker skin types as those with light skin types.

The Bad News

Although thermage is called a “non-surgical face lift,” it is not a substitute for a face lift. It will give a portion of the improvement that a facelift will give in many people. There are, however, some people who will see no improvement following Thermage (especially those who have very loose skin and are really ready for a facelift, or those with very heavy faces). For these people, a second treatment may be performed six months after the first. This second treatment may or may not yield improvement. Thermage seems to work best in people with thin faces who are just on the verge of needing a facelift and want to put it off for a few years. In other words, if you have looses skin, sagging jowls, and a turkey gobbler, you can try thermage, but you may not see much improvement.
