Thermage CT
Non-Invasive Skin Tightening Treatment
Thermage
Hartford | Avon CT
The Thermage CPT procedure is an FDA approved method for tightening skin and for smoothing wrinkles. This cosmetic procedure does not require invasive surgery, chemicals, needles, or lasers. Ideal candidates for Thermage CPT have mild to moderate facial laxity. The Thermage CPT procedure can also be used to treat patients who have areas of skin that are still loose after a surgical face lift.
The Thermage procedure is available only in the offices of qualified physicians who specialize in cosmetic procedures. The procedure itself is normally done as a single treatment that takes from 20 minutes to two hours depending on the treatment area. What’s more, there is no downtime — so you can quickly resume your normal routine.
Unlike lasers, Thermage works on all skin types and tones. And unlike injections or fillers, Thermage works on your entire face — forehead, eyes, nasolabial folds, jaw line, jowls and the area under your chin.
If you no longer recognize the face looking back at you in the mirror, it’s time to schedule a consultation with our staff and learn how Thermage can help you look as young as you feel.
Thermage Facial and Neck Tightening
The term "CPT" stands for "Comfort Pulse Technology." With this technology, Thermage has become a much more comfortable and much more effective procedure for skin tightening. There are two ways in which Thermage CPT improves patient comfort. First, instead of one continuous unbroken pulse, the CPT technology breaks up the Thermage pulse into a series of micro-pulses. Second, the CPT technology delivers the Thermage pulses with vibration. The vibration reduces the sensation of heating, which also leads to improved patient comfort.
The greatly enhanced patient comfort allows us to make many more passes over the tissues. Depending on the area being treated, we now make 8-12 passes over the tissues with Thermage CPT instead of the 4-5 passes that we used to make with the earlier generation of Thermage. As a result, Thermage CPT treatments are not only much more comfortable for our clients but also much more effective than the earlier generations of Thermage.
Immediate Results: You should feel and see your skin being smoother, firmer, and tighter immediately after your Thermage treatment. You may also notice some contouring effects which will begin enhancing the shape of your face.
Continued improvement over time: After the procedure, you should continue to see improvements to your skin as a result of the production of new and increased collagen, as well as some additional contouring effects due to continued tightening over time. These effects will continue for up to six months. You should see lasting results.
Thermage® is an FDA-approved, non-invasive skin tightening treatment that utilizes radiofrequency (RF) energy to heat the deeper layers of the skin. This process stimulates collagen production, leading to smoother, firmer skin over time. The treatment is effective for reducing the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and sagging skin on the face and body..
Thermage® is versatile and can be used to treat various areas, including:
-
Face (forehead, cheeks, jawline)
-
Eyes (under-eye area, eyelids)
-
Neck and décolletage
-
Abdomen
-
Arms
-
Thighs and buttocks
-
Knees
This makes it an excellent option for individuals seeking comprehensive skin tightening solutions.
Ideal candidates are individuals experiencing mild to moderate skin laxity who wish to improve skin firmness without undergoing surgery. Thermage® is suitable for all skin types and tones. It's particularly beneficial for those looking to address early signs of aging or maintain youthful skin as part of a preventative regimen.
During the procedure, patients typically experience a brief heating sensation followed by a cooling effect. The treatment is generally well-tolerated, with most individuals reporting minimal discomfort. The Thermage® system incorporates vibration to enhance patient comfort during the session.
The duration of a Thermage® session varies depending on the treatment area. Facial treatments typically take about 30 to 45 minutes, while larger body areas may require up to 90 minutes. Your provider will give you a more precise estimate based on your specific needs
One of the advantages of Thermage® is that there is little to no downtime. Patients can usually resume their normal activities immediately after the treatment. Some individuals may experience slight redness or swelling, which typically subsides within 24 hours.
Most patients achieve desired results with just one Thermage® session. However, depending on individual goals and skin conditions, some may opt for additional treatments to maintain or enhance results. Your provider will recommend a personalized treatment plan during your consultation
Thermage® is generally safe with minimal side effects. Some patients may experience temporary redness, swelling, or tingling in the treated area. These effects are typically mild and resolve within a few days. Serious complications are rare when the procedure is performed by an experienced provider.
Yes, Thermage® can be effectively combined with other aesthetic treatments such as Botox, dermal fillers, or laser therapies to enhance overall results. Combining treatments can address multiple skin concerns simultaneously. Your provider will discuss the best combination approach tailored to your needs.
