Thermage® Skin Tightening

Thermage® is an FDA-approved cosmetic procedure used for skin tightening, wrinkle reduction, and the alleviation of other signs of aging. Read on to learn more about why the Thermage® ThermaCool® procedure is rapidly becoming known as the non-surgical face lift of the future.

What Is Thermage®?

The Thermage® system relies on heat to tighten the underlying layers of the skin. This produces an instantaneous and marked reduction in the appearance of wrinkles, jowls, and sagging skin in the neck or brow area. Thermage® is also an effective method of skin tightening for other areas of the body. It is painless, non-invasive, and requires no recovery time, yet offers immediate and consistently excellent results.

Thermage® Candidates

Patients who desire more subtle results and quicker recovery times than are possible with surgical face lift procedures are often ideal candidates for Thermage®. Skin tightening with the Thermage® ThermaCool® system is also beneficial for patients who are developing prominent folds and sagging in areas of the face but are not considered suitable candidates for a traditional face lift.

Cost of Thermage® Treatment

The cost of Thermage® skin tightening is one of its chief advantages. Averaging between $1000 and $5000, Thermage® ThermaCool® treatment is considerably less expensive than surgical facial rejuvenation alternatives, such as face lift, which can total $10,000 or more.
