To understand
how Thermage™
works, it helps to know a little about how your skin works.
The facial skin is made up of three
distinct layers: a visible outer layer on the surface
called the epidermis, a collagen-rich underlayer beneath
the surface called the dermis, and an inner layer beneath
the dermis called the subcutaneous layer, also known
as the fat layer that has a web of collagen fibers running
through it.
When the collagen in these three layers break
down due to sun exposure, family heredity, or the normal aging
process, your face begins to sag and wrinkle. Naturally, treatments
that work on just the surface can’t do anything to restore
the collagen in the underlayer or the innerlayer of your skin.
Thermage™
is the only non-invasive procedure available that tightens
and renews your skin’s collagen in all three layers.
How? Thermage™’s
unique Capacitive Radiofrequency (CRF) technology safely heats
your skin’s underlayer and the web of collagen in the
inner layer, causing an immediate tightening as well as improved
tone and texture. And the improvements will continue and become
even more noticeable for four to six months following treatment
due to new collagen growth.
Thermage™
is safer than invasive cosmetic procedures. And unlike lasers,
Thermage™
works on all skin types and colors. Best of all, you only
need one Thermage™
treatment to obtain the full benefits — not three to
five as you would with some laser therapies. And there is
no downtime, so you can quickly resume your daily routine.
