Face Lift
Thermage Skin Tightening
How do you deal with skin that has been stretched and thinned by age and exposure? For loose and sagging skin on the face, the traditional answer has been the surgical “face-lift,” in which the layers of skin are separated, stretched back towards the ears and sutured down. However, the scars from this procedure cannot be hidden and the pulling gives the face an artificial stretched look. In addition, the traditional procedure forces you to hide your face for weeks of recovery, while also putting you through a good deal of pain. Finally, even if the results are less than stellar, you are stuck with your new, unimproved face.
True MD, however, approaches the same problem with an advanced non-surgical solution that heals and tightens your skin from the inside out, using a procedure called Thermage [ther-MAAJ]. This treatment (also known as ThermaLift, Thermal Lifting, Therma Plasty, and Thermoplastic Contouring) simultaneously tightens the protein and collagen of the dermis (deep skin) and stimulates the production of new collagen, thickening and strengthening the dermis and causing new deep skin growth for up to half a year. The shrinking of the skin pulls wrinkles out naturally and the production of new collagen fills out the skin from the inside, giving you smooth, healthier skin.
Utilizing cutting-edge technology, the Thermage procedure applies focused radio wave energy through a cooling wand so that the deep dermis level is heated and stimulated while the epidermis is kept cool and protected. The wand first feels cool, then briefly hot, then cool again, each time the radio waves are applied. Your physician may offer you a mild pain medication before the procedure to ensure your comfort. The treatment may take up to an hour, depending on how much skin you want to treat and the only side effect is some minor redness, which quickly fades.
Thermage can easily be applied to any area of your skin that you would like to see smoothed, not just the skin on your face. Anywhere the sun has caused your skin to age beyond its years is a prime location for a Thermage treatment.
Unlike traditional face-lifts and skin treatments, Thermage requires virtually no recovery time since heat-related complications are rare. The effect of the treatment grows as the dermis gradually builds itself up, making your skin look better and better every month after treatment, up to half a year. Best of all, most people only need one treatment every few years to maintain great-looking, healthy skin!
