Why THERMAGE Might Be The Right Choice For You

When it comes to our skin, tighter is always better. Having loose, droopy skin on the face, neck, and body can really make us look old. But unlike your bum or your tummy, a few squats and crunches might not do the trick. To firm up your skin, you sometimes need to go to extremes. Some women opt to go under the knif, and for some, the idea of surgery is too scary to consider. So that's why THERMAGE has really taken off.

THERMAGE is a device that uses sound energy to heat the deep layer of the skin - this, in turn, tightens the existing collagen and stimulates the production of new collagen! As we enter the third and forth decades of life, our skin starts to lose volume, elasticity, and healthy fat, leaving deep marks and and wrinkles from from facial movement.

This effective and non-surgical treatment involves managing all three changes! It combines Botox for the facial lines, fillers for the volume loss and THERMAGE for the skin tightening and over all improvement of texture and tone.

THERMAGE is safe procedure, and it has been designed to be used on the face and body. For the face, it will soften the folds and lines, improving shape of the jawline and neck, raising the eyebrows, and increasing lip volume. For the body, it will tighten the skin of the arms, thighs, buttocks, tummy and improve the appearance of new onset cellulite of the thighs. It can also reduce the fat volume of the thighs and abdomen with a deeper treatment.

With this alternative to surgery, there is no downtime so you can return to normal activities the next day! Even better, it lasts two years and can be repeated every six months to a year.

Would you ever consider THERMAGE? Or are you happy with your skin?
