So How Does The New Thermage Procedure Compare To Face Lifts?

Thermage is less pricey than traditional plastic surgery facelifts or a series of laser treatments, and only takes from 20 minutes to an hour to complete. Of course, the price depends on the parts of the body to be treated, as well as the doctor’s fees for performing the process. You will have to check with your doctor to learn if Thermage is right for you and what his or her costs for the procedure will be.

Thermage treatments can be completed on more than just the face. Other parts of the body can profit from this collagen repair treatment as well. Thermage will zap out those dimples in the thighs and behind, and even smooth out the arms and abdominal areas. If you have cellulite, wrinkles, or eye bags Thermage may be able to help you too.

The results of Thermage treatment are somewhat visible instantly. The skin will be red for a couple of days after the treatment, but visible stiffening of the skin, as well as softening, is notable right away. The Thermage treatment also promotes new collagen growth for up to six months approximately after the treatment. With new collagen come ongoing results for several months.

Thermage is a onetime treatment that is not essential to have repeated. This, too, is different from laser treatment, which calls for several visits and some possible downtime after each treatment. Most Thermage patients go right back to doing their thing shortly after they depart the doctor’s office.
