| Thermage Skin tightening for face, lips, & hands, and around eyes PROCEDURES
PERFORMED BY ED BECKER, M.D., MELISSA PATTEE, PA-C Thermage is a safe treatment that tightens and contours skin, with improvements in tone and texture that occur naturally through the stimulation of the skin’s own collagen. The procedure is completely non-invasive, with no surgery and no injections, with minimal downtime for recovery. In addition to its initial application for enhancing or rejuvenating facial features, the Thermage procedure can now be performed specifically to enhance and smooth the eyelids and areas immediately around the eyes. This procedure can also be implemented to restore fullness to the lips and smooth the skin around them, and to produce more youthful-looking hands. Unlike lasers, Thermage works on all skin types and tones, and unlike injections or fillers, it works on the entire face — forehead, eyes, nasolabial folds, jaw line, jowls and the area under the chin. Improvements are visible immediately, and can increase for up to six months. The procedure is generally performed in a single treatment -- with results that can last for years depending on skin condition and your own unique aging process. The Thermage treatment takes from 45 minutes to several hours, depending on the treatment area, using Capacitive Radiofrequency (CRF) technology to safely heat the the dermis and subcutaneous tissue, while applying a cooling spray to the epidermis. Results of Thermage treatment may include immediate tightening, and continuing improvements to appearance, tone and texture, with new collagen growth, for four to six months. Eyes by Thermage is a specialized application of the Thermage procedure that smoothes and tightens skin and decreases wrinkles and hooding in the eye area, reduces under-eye bags, and softens fine lines and crow's feet -- providing younger looking, more lifted eyes that look less tired. In addition, the resulting smoother skin of the eyelids makes it easier to apply eye shadow and eyeliner.
Lips by Thermage is a single-treatment procedure that helps smooth and tighten the skin for naturally fuller, more defined lips with decreased fine lines - without surgery or injections and little to no downtime. Lips appear plumper and fuller with more defined lip lines and diminished vertical fine lines and wrinkles around the mouth. Lipstick doesn't feather and lasts longer.The long-lasting results -- which can vary from subtle to dramatic -- are visible immediately and can continue improving for up to six months.
Hands by Thermage helps smooth and tighten the skin on your hands so that it looks brighter and more radiant and fine lines and wrinkles are smoother and less prominent. Hands look noticeably younger and more luminous.
