It is particularly effective for skin tightening and rejuvenation, skin lifting, wrinkle removal, breast lifting, sagging skin, stretch marks, body contours, acne and acne scarring, enlarged pores, cellulite. Thermage uses patented radiofrequency technology to safely heat the deeper layer of your skin, subcantaneous layer, stimulating collagen production for younger looking skin.

 Radiofrequency – how does the treatment work?

The Radiofrequency treatment applies direct energy into the deeper layer of the skin -subcutaneous layer . This stimulates the production of collagen and elastin, the structural components/proteins of our skin.  Until we reach approximately 40 years of age, our body consistently produces collagen. After this age, the collagen levels start to decline, resulting in the appearance of wrinkles.

Radiofrequency energy heats the skin to over 40 degrees which stimulates new collagen production. The generated heat immediately tightens the skin. By heating the subcutaneous layer, the connective tissues are stimulated to produce new collagen.
This also improves blood and lymphatic flow.

The result is tighter and firmer facial contours especially around the jawline, the wrinkles around the eyes, mouth and forehead are reduced.

 What other skin conditions can be treated using Radiofrequency?

  • Acne, Acne Scarring and Stretch Marks
    RF effectively treats acne scarring and stretch marks. As new collagen is stimulated, the skin becomes healthier, firmer and refined, resulting in a more even skin texture and visible reduction of scars.
  • Open Pores
    RF visibly treats open pores, by stimulating the skins own collagen production. Over 2-5 treatments pore size is significantly improved.
  • Breast Lifting
  • Cellulite
