Thermage™ Thermal Lift
ThermaCool TC™ from Thermage is now available for many facial tightening uses. This recent FDA-approved non-surgical procedure, seen on "Oprah" and featured in many women’s magazines, is being called the "non-surgical face-lift."
Thermage can:
- eliminate the need for a brow lift
- reduce jowls and neck laxity
- tighten and lift skin around the eyes
- significantly improve the lower facial areas.
Thermage ThermaCool uses a radio frequency system which causes thinned and flattened collagen to contract and tighten. The procedure is fast and requires no recovery period. A full treatment will take several months and can last for an average of two years.

Who makes a good candidate for Thermage?
ThermaCool Lift or Thermage is radiofrequency dermal heating that induces contraction of the skin — almost like a facial "shrink wrap." Because it works with your skin's collagen, the best responders are women in their 40’s and 50’s with light skin complexion, few pores and minimal sun damage. Patients in their 60’s or 70’s may not respond as well due to a dramatic decrease in collagen presence.
The most dramatic results are usually seen in the jowl area and beneath the chin. In best cases it replaces a skin-only facelift for some people. The process is somewhat painful and requires pain medication during the procedure. A minimal amount of swelling, if any, may develop for a day or so.
The Thermage web site has an extensive FAQ on the Thermage procedure.
