Kathy Jones Skin Care

The Thermage procedure reduces the signs of aging skin, giving you a more youthful appearance. Also called ThermaLift, ThermaCool, and Radiothermoplasty, the Thermage procedure is performed with a technology cleared by the US FDA for the treatment of wrinkles around the eyes.

The Thermage procedure is an advanced way of tightening skin that requires only the touch of a sophisticated treatment tip to your skin. It is performed with an advanced radiofrequency device called ThermaCool TC, and requires no incisions or recovery time. The Thermage procedure is very safe. Although it is possible that skin damage can occur, this advanced treatment has been studied carefully in hundreds of patients with minimal reports of lasting adverse events.

The Thermage procedure can take anywhere from a few minutes to an hour, depending on the size of the area you are having treated. Additional time may be required for skin preparation prior to the procedure. In most patients, results appear gradually in 2 to 6 months, although some patients see an earlier response. Recently published studies show that improvements continue for at least 6 months after a single treatment session. Other studies show that thermal collagen changes can last several years, depending on the rate of the aging process.
