Body Thermage
Everyone has wrinkles, whether from laughing or crying too much, too much fun in the sun or plain old age. Discoloration and the skin sagging tend to increase with the years. Have you thought of having what is now called a body thermage.
Thermage is a nonsurgical skin tightening procedure that is performed in the doctor’s office. Thermage uses radio frequency energy (radio waves) to lift and tighten the skin. Here is how it works.Our skin is comprised of several layers, the surface or 1st layer of the skin is called the epidermis. This is the skin layer that burns or freckles when we are in the sun.Below the epidermis is the second layer, the dermal layer, which consists of many proteins that give our skin structural support.The two main proteins are collagen which provides tensile strength, and elastin which lets the skin bounce back by giving it elastic pull, hence the name.Below the dermal layer is the layer that contains fat, blood vessels, and sensory nerves. When we are younger, the collagen in our skin is abundant and in a tight rope-like meshwork. s we get older, exposure to the sun, our personal genetics, smoking, other pollutants and good old gravity makes the collagen less abundant losing its organized network, and the delicate rope per say begins to fray. This is what causes our skin and the supporting soft tissues in the face to sag. Thermage works like a shrink wrap if you will. The Thermage machine has pre-programmed computer chips with a pre-set number of heat pulses.
Now that you understand how it works it is easy for you to understand how we determine who will be a good candidate for the Thermage procedure. The results that one can expect from Thermage depend entirely upon how much collagen exists in the skin at the time that the candidate is being considered.he more collagen the person has, the better the initial result will be, and within two or three months, and once the collagen remodeling begins you can expect more profound results.
The procedure itself is not painful.There are a lot of blogs out there, many saying that their freind who has a friend saying that they is pain with Thermage. Most all patients have the procedure performed without the need for pain medication.The only time medication is suggested is when the neck is being treated, which can be a bit uncomfortable.
