What
Is Thermage?
Thermage was developed to help
erase the signs of aging skin. It works by targeting collagen structures
beneath the skin's surface to tighten and firm underlying skin
tissue. On the face, it is used for treating periorbital (around
the forehead and eye) wrinkles, tightening the cheeks and jowl
area, and reducing sagging under the chin. The treatment also can
also be used to tighten skin anywhere else on the body including
breasts, thighs, and arms.
How Does It Work?
During
your treatment, capacitive radiofrequency (CRF) energy uniformly
heats the dermis while cooling and protecting the epidermis. The
treatment is designed to cause immediate collagen contraction followed
by new collagen production which occurs over a period of time.
The Thermage procedure is the only non-invasive method to tighten,
contour, and rejuvenate loose skin on the face, thighs, stomach,
arms, and hands.

How long will the Thermage procedure take?
The procedure may take from 30
minutes to two hours depending on the number of treatment areas
and the size of the area treated. You can elect to have your procedure
performed with oral sedation in our office.
What does a Thermage procedure feel like?
Each time the ThermaCool NXT
system delivers radiofrequency energy to the skin, you will feel
a brief heat sensation, followed by a cooling sensation. In most
instances, the energy can be adjusted so that no topical or local
anesthetic is necessary.
When can I return to my normal activities?
Because the procedure generally
involves no "downtime," you can return to your normal
activities immediately. Depending on the degree of treatment, some
patients may experience mild to moderate swelling or redness, and
choose to take some time off after the procedure. There is no special
care needed after treatment, though wearing sunscreen on the treatment
areas is very important. Continuing to protect your skin will also
prolong the results of your Thermage treatment.
When
Will I See Results?
Because Thermage treatments affect
the body's natural production of collagen, results from the procedure
continue for many months. Most of our south Florida area patients
see results gradually over two to six months, although some patients
notice improvement as early as two weeks after treatment.

How many treatments will I need?
A single treatment has produced
good results in many of our patients. However, Drs. Gottlieb and
Goldman will assess the number and frequency of treatments required
to achieve optimal results for your skin. Larger areas of the body,
like the thighs, stomach, and buttocks may need more than one treatment
to produce your desired results.
How long will the effects of the procedure last?
Recently published studies show
that improvements continue for at least six months after a single
treatment session. Other studies show that thermal collagen changes
can last several years, depending on the rate of the aging process.
How safe is it?
All Thermage treatments are FDA
approved, have been studied carefully on hundreds of patients,
and are very safe. In rare cases skin damage can occur which is
why it is important to go to doctors like Dr. Gottlieb and Dr.
Goldman that are board certified dermatologist trained in this
new technology.
Can Thermage be combined with other procedures?
The treatment can be safely combined
with other types of rejuvenation, such as chemical
peel, Botox® Cosmetic, Restylane®, Radiesse™ and laser
therapy.
