Thermage

Thermage Facts Sheet

Thermage offers a suite of safe, non-invasive procedures that help smooth, tighten and contour skin for a naturally younger looking appearance without surgery or injections and little to no downtime. Thermage® procedures are administered in a doctor’s office using the ThermaCool® System. Unlike many laser treatments, Thermage is safe for patients of all skin colors, as it is not affected by skin pigment.

Thermage procedures use a unique radiofrequency (RF) technology that delivers uniform volumetric heating deep into the dermis and subcutaneous tissue to help tighten existing collagen and stimulate new collagen growth.

With approximately 450,000 estimated worldwide patient treatments to date, Thermage has an excellent safety record of 99.8 percent. Thermage procedures can also be used in combination with many common cosmetic procedures such as Botox®, fillers, liposuction and plastic surgery. Ultimately, doctor Gidon will determine if a combination of therapies is appropriate, based on the patient’s needs and goals.

To ensure the most safe and efficacious results standardized procedure guidelines have been designed for each body area.

Face by ThermageTM
Face by Thermage was the first procedure launched by Thermage and remains the most popular. Many women believe that they no longer look as young as they feel. Skin creams are not enough and surgery is often too much. The Face by Thermage procedure helps smooth, tighten and contour facial skin; softening the wrinkles around the mouth, eyes and forehead, giving these women a naturally younger looking appearance without surgery, injections and little to no downtime.

Lips by ThermageTM
One of the newest additions to the Face by Thermage suite of procedures is Lips by Thermage, a non-invasive procedure to help smooth and tighten skin for fuller, more defined looking lips and decreased fine lines. Thermage is appropriate for patients seeking fuller,more youthful and defined lips. The procedure takes less than 30 minutes.

The Body Shape procedure by Thermage
The Body Shape procedure is designed to help tighten, firm and deep contour patients’ abdomens, arms, thighs and buttocks in a single treatment, without surgery and little to no downtime. The Body Shape procedure uses the new ThermaTip DC treatment tip specifically designed for deep contouring of the skin. The new ThermaTip DC is designed for similar smoothing and tightening effects as the current Thermage medium depth tips; however it heats significantly deeper into the subcutaneous layer of the skin to promote increased collagen tightening for shaping of the abdomen, “love handle”, thigh, buttock and arm areas.

The Cellulite procedure by Thermage
According to a 2007 study by the Millennium Research Group, nearly 90 percent of women experience some level of cellulite. The Thermage Cellulite procedure is designed to noticeably reduce the appearance of cellulite in a single treatment. The procedure uses the new ThermaTip CL treatment tip to deeply heat the problem area, rebuild collagen connective tissues and improve blood flow to the tissues, helping to smooth the surface of the skin and reduce the appearance of cellulite. The new treatment tip is the culmination of over 21 months of clinical and technological development.

Hands by ThermageTM
Many women notice the signs of aging in their hands first and are not aware that there are safe, non-surgical options to improve the appearance of their hands. Hands by Thermage is ideal for patients who have thinning skin on their hands and want to reduce crepiness, diminish the appearance of veins and gain more radiant skin texture. It also works well in combination with IPL or other treatments that remove brown spots, a visible sign of aging particularly on the hands.

Expanded Uses
As Thermage develops guidelines for treatment of specific body parts and new applications, additional sub-brands and products will be launched.
