What is
ThermaLift?
A new,
exciting,
no down
time,
procedure
to tighten
the skin
of the
face and
neck
without
surgery.
ThermaLift
is a new
non-surgical,
non-invasive
procedure
developed
by the
first
doctor in
the world
to use
ThermaCool
for
cosmetic
purposes.
ThermaCool,
is an
advanced
high
technology
medical
device
product of
extensive
research
by
Thermage,
Inc.. This
device
which,
uses
radiofrequency
allows the
physician
to treat
by
delivering
deep
intense
heat into
the skin
without
injury to
the
epidermis.
How
ThermaLift
works
Essentially
a deep,
intense,
uniform,
sustained
heat in
the tissue
underneath
the
surface of
the skin
will
produce
contraction
and
tightening
of
excessively
flaccid or
lax skin.
Therefore,
the
ThermaLift
provides
the heat
required
in
performing
such a
task.
It is
extremely
safe.
Although
it is a
new
procedure
and new
technology,
great
effort on
the part
of the
company
has gone
into
making it
as safe as
possible.
The record
of adverse
effects is
clean so
far with
the unit
currently
in use.
Although
there is
no ideal
age, the
younger
the
better. As
soon as
early skin
sagging is
first
noticed by
the
patient.
The
earlier
the better
since
younger
skin is
generally
in better
condition.
For many
patients
one
treatment
will
suffice.
Repeat
treatments
may be
needed for
others.
Deciding
when and
if you'll
be able to
have
additional
treatments
will be up
to you
doctor.
Technically
after one
month,
although,
because
results
will take
four to
six months
to show,
it is a
good idea
to wait
for the
effect of
the first
treatment.
In some
cases of
extreme
skin
laxity,
your
doctor may
advise
multiple
treatments
from the
start.
Exactly
how long
the
treatment
may last
is unknown
at the
moment,
although,
they are
long
lasting.
Months to
years, or
may even
be
permanent.
But
because
the aging
process
continues,
skin
laxity
will
naturally
increase
again with
time.
However,
there is
no
"Cinderella
effect" in
which the
results
from the
treatment
will
disappear
suddenly
one day.
Where
is
ThermaLift
applied?
Tightening
skin in
certain
key areas
can be
advantageous
for
cosmetic
improvement,
for
example:
Treating
the skin
of the
forehead
can lift
the
eyebrows
and
enhance
the
appearance
of the
eyes,
making the
eyes look
more open,
less
tired,
more
alert.
Previously,
this
result
could only
be
obtained
with major
surgery.
Other
areas of
the face
such as
the skin
of the
cheeks can
also be
treated to
reduce the
flaccidity,
which
produces
deep folds
with
aging.
This
results
are
similar to
those of a
surgical
face-lift
but are
gradual
and do not
require
post-operative
care since
there is
no wound
involved.
The
ThermaLift
is done in
about 30
minutes,
with
topical
anesthesia.
There is
usually no
post-operative
care, no
swelling,
no
redness,
and no
pain
afterwards.
The
patient
can return
immediately
to normal
activities
and it
will not
show that
anything
was done.
