Monopolar and Bi-polar Radiofrequency treatments are versatile and can effectively treat many skin concerns on the face and body. 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.
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.
