Body Thermage: Radiothermoplasty

June 8th, 2008 By Sookyee | Posted in Thermage No Comments »

You may have heard of Thermage, the innovative new non-surgical method of attaining tighter, younger-looking facial tissue with no needles or scalpels. Thermage technology is now being applied to various other parts of the body and is producing exceptional results.

What is Thermage?

Traditional Thermage gives you all the benefits of an invasive face-lift operation, with no scalpels or needles. This technology is now being used on problem areas of the body as well. Using ThermaCool TC with patented Capacitive Radio Frequency (CRF) technology, achieving younger-looking and healthier skin has never been easier or faster.

The system works by sending radio frequency energy through your skin, gently heating deep skin layers, while simultaneously protecting the surface of your skin with the cooling action of the patented ThermaTip “wand.” This heating action causes deep structures of your skin to tighten immediately. Over time, new collagen grows to further tighten your skin and produce a more youthful appearance.

What areas can be treated with Thermage?

While Traditional Thermage techniques were developed to treat the skin around eyes, jaw lines, and necks, Body Thermage is now being used to treat numerous problem areas of the body, including:

– Arms - Body Thermage can be used to tighten loose, sagging skin on the upper arms, as well as significantly improve the texture and tone of your skin.

– Legs - Also improves texture and tone of skin in thighs as well as smoothing the skin above the knees.

– Abdomen– Body Thermage can drastically improve the look of your midsection and is comparable to a tummy tuck– with no surgery required. Thermage also works exceedingly well for women who have recently given childbirth, left with stretch marks. However, any further pregnancies will obviously negate the treatment. Stretch marks or loose skin gained from excessive or rapid weight loss can also be significantly improved in the same manner.

Who is Body Thermage for?

Body Thermage is perfect for all skin types and skin colors. Individuals between 35 and 60 are the ideal candidates for Body Thermage due to the mild to moderate skin laxity found at those ages.

Who is Body Thermage NOT for?

Radiothermoplasty is not recommended for individuals with implanted cardiac devices, such as pacemakers. The radio frequency energy used during the Thermage procedure may interfere with these medical implants.

Body Thermage is not recommended for people using non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAID), such as ibuprofen, naproxen, and prednisone.

Is Radiothermoplasty safe?

Body Thermage was approved by the Federal Drug Administration (FDA) in 2006. The FDA approved the Thermage procedure in 2002, originally for the treatment of facial rejuvenation. In 2006 the FDA provided additional clearance for the extensive use of treatment anywhere on the body.

What are the side effects of Body Thermage?

The occurrence of any side effects as a result of Thermage treatment are exceptionally rare. In fact, the percentage of people who do complain about any unwanted side effects is at less than 1%. These temporary side-effects are usually described as red, irritated, or sometimes blistered skin and typically dissipate in 3-10 days.

How does Melbourne Thermage work?

May 25th, 2008 By Sookyee | Posted in Thermage No Comments »

In Melbourne, Thermage is not a very complicated procedure if you select a high-quality plastic surgery professional, working with a reputable clinic. The technology used is fairly cutting edge, but is well documented, as being an extremely safe, and effective, skin tightening tool.

It is used to great effect on various parts of the body, where the skin has lost its elasticity, and has become loose, or flabby; you commonly find these kinds of problems on the neck, just under the jaw, or perhaps on the underarms, particularly in older ladies.

In Melbourne, Thermage is the same technology that is used all over the world. The machinery employs RF, or radiofrequency, technology that allows a skilled surgeon, to gently smooth away wrinkles, lifting and tightening, the skin.

This can be employed to tighten loose skin, because of its ability to deliver a very regular, and controlled, amount of RF energy that penetrates deep into the skin. But at the same time, protects the outer layers, by keeping them cool.

In Melbourne, Thermage sends out a very uniform level of heat, and the heat reaches the collagen well below the surface of your skin, and then warms the collagen to a temperature of 60° C.

The miraculous effects of this heating are that it modifies the collagens molecular structure, and the delicate fibres of the skin then thicken and contract, which instantly tightens the skin.

The response from the body to these changes is to begin immediate wound healing, which causes the skin to remodel, which in turn causes even more tightening of the skin during the next three to six months.

What is Thermage Melbourne?

May 25th, 2008 By Sookyee | Posted in Antiaging Skin Care, Thermage No Comments »

You have quite probably never heard the term, Thermage, in Melbourne. It is a revolutionary non-surgical procedure that allows cosmetic surgeons to contour, and tighten skin, without the discomfort, and stress, of using traditional plastic surgery.

It works by using radio frequency technology, which is also known as RF. Thermage technology will tighten up, lift, and help to contour, loose skin. It can be used on just about any part of the body.

One of its most common uses is below the jaw, to assist in the improvement of sagging jowl lines, another common use is on the on the underarms, to tighten them, and make their arms appear less ‘flabby.’

Another example is to tighten, and smooth out the loose skin, covering the area of the abdomen. Cosmetic laser surgery can produce similar results but Thermage; Melbourne style, would allow a skilled surgeon to use the procedure on all types of skin, and all skin colours, which is something that the lasers cannot do.

This is now the main RF technology being used for the purpose of tightening skin, there is a large amount of research, and scientific study that has concluded that, the procedure is both efficient and very safe.

These procedures can easily be conducted on an outpatient basis, as there is no requirement for actual surgery. Once the process has been completed the patient should feel no ill effects whatsoever, and will be able to immediately go about their normal daily lives without any recovery period needed.

Thermage: breakthrough non-invasive facial rejuvenation!

May 24th, 2008 By Sookyee | Posted in Thermage 3 Comments »

Would you like to reduce the signs of aging skin, giving you a more youthful appearance? Does the thought of a surgical face lift make you slightly wince in pain? Well, now you can reevaluate your options because Thermage, Non-Surgical Tissue Tightening gives you all the benefits of an invasive face-lift operation, with no scalpels or needles. 

How does Thermage work?

Thermage is made possible by a technological breakthrough called the ThermaCool TC system. ThermaCool TC is a patented Capacitive Radio Frequency (CRF) technology, designed to tighten facial tissue. The patented ThermaTip wand sends radio frequency energy through the skin, heating deep skin layers while protecting the skin’s surface with a cooling action.

With age, collagen fibers (collagen is a building block that provides structure to skin) start to thin, shorten, and rigidify. The epidermis then wrinkles, collapses, and eventually begins to sag. Thermage works by stimulating the collagen fibers with safe radio frequency technology. This stimulation promotes health and growth of collagen fibers, tightening the skin and reducing wrinkles.

What is the Thermage procedure like?

With the Thermage system, you can attain dramatic anti-aging results and improved appearance of skin with only one single visit to the doctor. This single treatment typically takes only 15 to 90 minutes depending on the specific area being treated.

There is absolutely no recovery time required. You can walk out of the doctor’s office and go about your daily routine straight away.

Since the Thermage process does not put anything directly into your body, but rather promotes the health and growth of skin, results can, and usually do continue to improve for several months afterward. The effects of the Thermage procedure will continue to last for several years.

Is the Thermage system safe?

Thermage and the ThermaCool TC system were cleared by the Federal Drug Administration (FDA) in 2002 and recognized as a safe, non-invasive option to surgery.

Is there any pain felt during or after the procedure?

Thermage promoters describe the process as a painless, short, deep heating sensation. The patented ThermaTip wand, which is used to apply the radio frequencies, uses a cool spray to both protect the surface of the skin, as well as to provide comfort to you. Some patients who have undergone the Thermage process have reported mild pain felt at first, but then quickly disappearing. Patients are usually given a mild pain reliever to alleviate any discomfort.

What are the side effects of the Thermage procedure?

Thermage technology is now being used world-wide. With over 70,000 treatments already performed, the reported side-effects come from less than 1% of patients. The most common side-effect is described as mild redness, such as a sunburn. These temporary effects are normally gone in 3-10 days.

Will my insurance cover Thermage?

Since Thermage is considered an elective procedure, most insurance companies will not cover the procedure. Check with your insurer to find out more.

Is Thermage applicable to other parts of the body?

Thermage treatment has also shown positive results on the abdomen, upper arm, and inner thigh. This practice is called Body Thermage. Budda Oliver is a marketing agent for American Self. The leading specialists on non-invasive surgery options provides thermage treatments in and around Richmond Virginia.

Non-surgical face lifts

May 18th, 2008 By Sookyee | Posted in Antiaging Skin Care, Laser Treatment, Non Surgical Face Lift, Thermage No Comments »

The question why people are looking for non surgical face lifts is simple. Nobody likes to go under a surgery, especially not on a such sensitive area of the body. The face is the most important part of your personality, it’s not just a body part.

When the face lift goes wrong it will have deep emotional and social impact on the life of the patient.Even when the face lift is totally successful, you may still feel strange with your new look. It’s not unusual that you look ten years younger or even more. But every surgical facelift changes the look of the face in some way, there is no way around it. That’s why people would rather prefer non surgical face lifts before they decide for a surgery.

There are several different ways of less invasive face lift. One is called thermage and it uses the radio frequency energy to manipulate the collagen of your skin. It helps the skin to reorganize the collagen and the skin is tighter and therefore looks younger. Thermage works best for people in the age of 30 to 40 but not that well for older skin. Ideally you start using a thermage when you see the first signs of aging.

Another way of non surgical face lifts is the laser face lift. The energy of the laser tries to improve the quality of the outer skin layers. Similar to the thermage, the laser heats the collagen and tightens the skin. The effects are immediate but for best results you should repeat the procedure two or three times over the next months. Here again, laser face lift works best to treat the first signs of aging when the skin beings to sag.

What else could you do to avoid a surgery? There is also the so called bio-ultimate or microcurrent face lift. Your skin looks better because it gets stimulated by gentle electric currents. Skin activity improves, even the skin muscles are stimulated. Another option you have is trying one of the many face lift creams that contain amino acids. They also help to tighten the skin.

The thread face lift is your last option. It comes near to a surgery though but it has very good results. The cosmetic surgeon needs to make very small incisions. During the procedure which usually lasts one or two hours, he uses very thin threads to tighten the skin. You have immediate results which cost you just about the half of a traditional face lift.
