PRLog (Press Release) –
Nov 16, 2007 – This procedure, called Thermage®, stimulates collagen growth using radiofrequency technology. The system works by heating the collagen deep in the layers of the skin, which causes the structures in the skin to tighten. Over time, new collagen continues to be produced, so the tightening effect will keep improving for several months after treatment. The treatment results in healthier, smoother skin and gives the patient a more youthful appearance.
The Thermage® treatment usually takes about an hour, depending on the size of the area being addressed. Most patients only need one session, but each case is individual and the physician will advise the best plan to achieve maximum results. Improvements continue for approximately 6 months after treatment and may last 24 months or longer.
Thermage® can be used to tighten skin on the neck, jawline, eyelids, tummy, underarm “flaps” and many other areas of the body. Since the procedure is incision free and there are no sutures and no bruising, the patient can return to normal activity immediately after the Thermage® treatment. No special post treatment care is needed unless advised by the physician.
Thermage® is available at Advanced Dermatology in Milford, PA. For information, see the website at www.milfordmd.com or call 570-296-4000.
