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. It 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. Results can last for years depending on
your skin condition and aging process.
The Thermage procedure is normally done as a single treatment that
takes from 20 minutes to 2 hours depending on the treatment area.
Best of all there is no downtime, so you can quickly resume your
normal routine. Unlike lasers, Thermage works on all skin types and
tones. And unlike injections or fillers, Thermage works on your
entire face.
If you want to look the way you feel, schedule a consultation with
Dr. Byrd to see what Thermage can do for you.
What is Thermage?
Thermage is a non-invasive procedure available that tightens and
renews your skin's collagen in all three layers. 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 works on all skin types and colors. Best of all, you only
need one Thermage treatment to obtain the full benefits rather than
three to five as you would with some laser therapies. There is no
downtime, so you can quickly resume your daily routine. Thermage is
FDA cleared for the non-invasive treatment of wrinkles and rhytids.
Side effects are generally mild and may include redness, swelling,
blisters, bumps and rare instances of surface irregularities.
What happens during the Thermage procedure?
Normally, the complete procedure can be performed in just one
session lasting from 20 minutes to 2 hours, depending on the
treatment area. General anesthesia is not required, but to make sure
you are comfortable, Dr. Byrd may offer light pain medications prior
to treatment.
During the treatment, you'll feel a brief, heat sensation each time
Thermage delivers radiofrequency energy to the underlayer of your
skin. This indicates that your collagen is being stimulated and
tightened.
What happens after the procedure?
After treatment, your skin may be slightly red for a day or two. But
most people resume regular activities immediately after treatment,
with no downtime or special follow-up care. The good news is that
you'll see immediate results. You may 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.
After the procedure, you may 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. Results can last for years
depending on your skin condition and aging process.
