Thermage® Fort Lee

Non-surgical Facial Rejuvenation

Thermage®, also known as a non-surgical face lift, is a revolutionary new treatment available at our Fort Lee, New Jersey practice. By applying split-second pulses of radiofrequency (RF) energy to your face, Thermage® stimulates the production of collagen, the protein in your skin that helps keep it taut and elastic. The increased production of collagen reduces signs of aging such as wrinkles and sagging skin. This quick, non-invasive procedure produces long-lasting results that can take years off your face to achieve a youthful, vibrant complexion.

Benefits of Thermage®

If lotions and other topical treatments are not producing the results you want, but surgery is too drastic a measure, Thermage® is a safe, effective way to improve the appearance of your skin. Thermage® can address all the most prominent signs of aging that appear on the face. Excess skin on the upper eyelids, sagging skin beneath the eyes, loose jowls, wrinkles, laugh lines and more can be significantly improved through Thermage® treatment. Unlike laser treatment, Thermage® involves almost no recovery time because the RF energy pulses do not heat the skin's top layer. You will be able to reapply makeup immediately following treatment. Some results can be immediate, though it usually takes about two to six months for the benefits to become fully apparent. You can expect the full effects of treatment to last three years.

The Thermage® Process

Thermage® treatment is performed in our office, and usually takes less than an hour to complete. Using a special hand-held device applied directly to the skin surface, your doctor delivers pulses of RF energy lasting less than a second each to areas of your face that you wish to rejuvenate. Treatment of your entire face can require between 600 and 900 pulses. You can expect to feel heat, as well as a pinching sensation during the treatment, but Thermage® ® is otherwise virtually painless. You may experience redness, blisters, swelling, peeling or other side-effects immediately following Thermage® ® treatment, but these quickly subside within 24 hours. While laser skin rejuvenation can often require up to four treatments, Thermage® ® can help you achieve the results you desire in a single treatment.

The Power of RF Energy

As the name implies, radiofrequency is the same kind of energy that allows you to hear radio transmissions on a stereo. High levels of RF energy have been implemented in medicine for more than 75 years, treating conditions ranging from sleep apnea to malignant tumors. In 2002, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved the use of RF energy for skin treatment. Since then, many satisfied patients have enjoyed happy returns to a more youthful appearance. By administering RF energy below the skin, we can promote collagen production, allowing the body to naturally renew skin tone and texture.
