Body By Thermage

If you are tired of aged, sagging skin but do not want to invest your time and money in an invasive lifting procedure such as abdominoplasty or a full body lift, Body by Thermage™ may be the right choice for you. This non-invasive skin tightening technique requires no painful surgery or injections, and Thermage® body treatments normally can be performed in a single session with no downtime.

Body by Thermage™ has been successfully used to tighten skin in the abdominal region, thighs, and buttocks, and it even eliminates sagging skin on the arms. It can also be used to improve the texture of rough skin and repair areas with mild body acne scars. Ideal candidates range in age from 30 to 60, as results are generally less dramatic with extremely loose skin. Body Thermage® treatments are effective for people of all skin types and skin tones who want to have tighter, more youthful skin.

Many women who experienced skin laxity in the abdominal region after pregnancy have achieved powerful results with Body by Thermage™, which also helps reduce the appearance of stretch marks. Thermage® body therapies also are ideal for people who have excess lax skin after losing significant amounts of weight. While Body by Thermage™ is an effective alternative to procedures such as liposuction and tummy tuck, patients with more severe issues may be better candidates for such surgical procedures.
The Body by Thermage™ Procedure

Body by Thermage™ is a non-invasive treatment used to restore and regenerate collagen deep inside the skin without injections, surgery, or the use of lasers. This FDA-approved procedure generally requires only one session, which can last from a few minutes up to two hours.

Thermage® tightens body skin by using captive radiofrequency technology that heats the skin’s outer layer, thus stimulating collagen beneath the surface. Patients may feel mild heat as Thermage® releases radiofrequencies, but general anesthesia is not required. The patient’s collagen is renewed and tightened, improving the skin’s texture and tone immediately. New collagen continues to grow during the six months following the Body by Thermage™ procedure, and patients will see more dramatic results as their collagen is restored during this period.
Body by Thermage™ Results

Although the results of a Body by Thermage™ treatment tend to unfold over a period of months, some improvements in skin tightness and tone can be seen immediately. The natural collagen regeneration that occurs after Thermage® body therapy produces tighter, firmer, more youthful-looking skin as the collagen fills in wrinkles and levels the skin’s outer layers from within. Tighter tummies, firmer arms, and boosted buttocks are visible after several months, and these results can last for years.
