Western New York's ONLY Dermatology Based Laser Center

Thermage® Skin Tightening

For The Face

The facial skin is made up of three distinct layers: a visible outer layer on the surface called the epidermis, a collagen-rich under layer beneath the surface called the dermis, and an inner layer beneath the dermis called the subcutaneous layer, (also known as the fat layer) that has a web of collagen fibers running through it. 

When the collagen in deeper two layers of the skin breaks down, your face begins to sag and wrinkle. Naturally, treatments that work on just the surface can't do anything to restore these deeper areas.

You can take years off your appearance with clinically proven Thermage® Skin Tightening. Thermage® helps tighten and contour the skin on your face, eyelids, and neck for a naturally younger looking appearance without surgery, injections or downtime. The procedures generally require only one treatment in your physician's office.  You can quickly get back to your normal routine post treatment because the heat is directed under the skin. Thermage® is the only non-invasive procedure proven to tighten and renew your skin's collagen in the deeper layers. How? Thermage's unique Capacitive Radiofrequency (CRF) technology safely heats your skin's under layer and the web of collagen in the inner layer, causing an immediate tightening. The improvements will continue and become even more noticeable four to six months following treatment due to new collagen growth.

Unlike lasers, Thermage® works on all skin types and colors. Best of all, you may only need one Thermage® treatment to obtain the full benefits.

Body by Thermage® Skin Tightening

You can take years off your appearance with clinically proven Thermage®. Thermage® helps smooth, tighten and contour the skin on your tummy, buttocks, thighs or arms for a naturally younger looking appearance without surgery or injections and little to no downtime.

The results of Thermage® occur naturally through the stimulation of your own collagen.

Thermage® is completely non-invasive - no surgery, no injections. A single treatment tightens your existing collagen and stimulates new collagen growth. Improvements are usually visible immediately and continue for up to six months. Results can last for years depending on your skin condition and aging process. Individual results, as with all procedures, vary.

FAQs

How does the Thermage® procedure work?

The procedure works by heating collagen fibers deep in the skin and underlying tissue, while protecting the skin's surface with a cooling spray.  A ThermaTip™ treatment tip is attached to the ThermaCool System's handpiece.  The ThermaTip briefly touches the skin, delivering the non-invasive capacitive radiofrequency energy beneath the skin. 

How long does the Thermage® procedure take?

Depending on the size and location of the area to be treated, the procedure may take as little as 20 minutes or up to two hours.

Is the Thermage® procedure safe?

The Thermage® procedure has an excellent safety record. With over 450,000 estimated worldwide patient treatments to date, the reported incidence of side effects is less than 0.2%. The most frequently reported incidents are classified as swelling, redness, bumps, and blisters on or around the treated area. These side effects have disappeared in a few days or weeks. A rare (<0.04%) but longer lasting side effect described as a surface irregularity has been reported. 

How much do the treatments cost?


Treatments vary from $2,000-$4,500 per treatment
