Tightening the skin from within with non-surgical Thermage®

What is skin tightening at your office in Westlake Village, California?

For many years, individuals who wanted to reset the clock on their aging faces and bodies were limited in their options for cosmetic improvement. They had to undergo often aggressive or invasive surgical procedures. These included facelifts and liposuction. Today, patients who are not ready for or those who do not want to undergo surgical procedures have other options. Some patients have had a facelift and wish to maintain their results or postpone a future facelift. These non-surgical procedures often harness the power of energy derived from light, sound waves, and other sources to renew the production of beneficial structural components in the skin, such as collagen. The result is skin that looks and feels firmer and more youthful, all without the risk of earlier-generation surgical interventions.

What technology do you use to tighten skin without surgery?

The Thermage® FLX RF system stands out from the rest when it comes to achieving tighter, younger-looking skin without the downtime, recovery, and risks of “windswept” or otherwise unnatural results.

How does Thermage® work?

Thermage® generates radiofrequency or RF energy to stimulate a process of tightening and contouring the skin. It is appropriate for areas of the face and body that have lost their appealing definition. When in our specialists’ highly skilled and qualified hands, the Thermage® system can restore beautiful balance and proportions.

What can I expect from treatment?

All it takes is one 30 to 90-minute treatment session to gently yet precisely apply the energy to your face or body’s target areas or zones. Once delivered to these sites, Thermage® safely and predictably heats the deeper layers of the skin where collagen production originates. This protein gives our skin its firmness and plays a vital role in its structural support. However, as we age, our body produces far less collagen. When this happens, we may notice new or worsening folds and laxity. Advanced RF-assisted therapies like Thermage® renew collagen. Over time, as more collagen is produced, you notice smoother and tighter skin.

Is Thermage® right for me?

It very well could be! Thermage® is more versatile than other energy-based skin-tightening devices on the market today. When in the right provider’s hands, Thermage® is just as adept at tightening jowls and a “turkey wattle” as it is at banishing under-eye bags and excess on the belly, knees, and arms.
