Thermage Skin Tightening NYC

Thermage skin tightening uses radio frequency technology to heat the water molecules in your skin. Clinical research has found that dermatological applications of radio frequency, such as Thermage, can trigger a mechanism which can stimulate the body’s natural production of collagen and elastin, resulting in firmer, smoother, younger looking skin.*

What is Thermage Skin Tightening?

One of the most popular anti-aging treatments for skin tightening in NYC and Miami is Thermage from Solta Medical. Thermage is an FDA approved Skin Tightening treatment used to tighten loose, lax skin. Thermage is minimally-invasive and does not require a lengthy recovery period. It is considered an effective anti-aging treatment for wrinkles, fine lines, sagging skin, and uneven skin tone. *

Thermage Skin Tightening is cleared by the FDA to treat the full face, abdomen, back of arms, above the knees or any place where there is skin laxity. Our laser skincare specialists will evaluate the area(s) to determine the treatment protocol that is customized for you.

How Many Skin Tightening Treatments Will I Need?

Unlike other radio frequency technologies, for the majority of clients, Thermage Skin Tightening requires only one visit! Most clients opt for an anti-aging maintenance package that provides touch ups every one to two years. For the post- baby belly more sessions may be required for optimal results.*¹

Is Thermage Painful?

Thermage Skin Tightening is performed under a medically supervised facility in New York’s Upper East Side, & Miami. While experiences vary by individual, many clients describe the procedure as feeling “like a warm pinch.”. Most clients take a Tylenol right before the visit and remain comfortable throughout the treatment.

Does Thermage treat the eyes?

Thermage is the only FDA approved radio frequency device cleared to treat the eye area. Receiving Thermage Skin Tightening around the eyes can improve the appearance of aging by rebuilding and boosting your own natural collagen and elastin that have been compromised due to age.¹*

Thermage is a good option for men and women suffering from mild skin laxity and superficial fine lines and wrinkles. A face lift is a cosmetic surgery that may be considered when treating severe skin laxity. During a face lift, a plastic surgeon uses fat pads to restore volume loss, and may tighten skin with surgical incisions that leave “short scars” in front of the ears, behind the hair line.

Thermage vs. Ultherapy

Thermage and Ultherapy are non-invasive procedures that tighten and firm skin and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. While both Thermage and Ultherapy stimulate collagen production to improve skin laxity, they use different technologies to do so. Thermage stimulates collagen using radio-frequency energy. Ultherapy stimulates collagen by using ultrasound energy.

Ultherapy is ideal for muscular lifting of loose or sagging skin around the brow, chin, and neck. Thermage is ideal for tightening skin and plumping up areas that have experienced volume loss.

One big advantage Thermage has over Ultherapy is a wider range of treatment areas. While Ultherapy is approved to lift skin around the brow, chin, neck and chest, Thermage can tighten skin and diminish fine lines and wrinkles from the facial area, the abdomen, the thighs, around the knees, the hands and more.

Thermage is also able to treat areas of the eye that Ultherapy cannot, such as the upper eyelid.

If you are contemplating between Thermage or Ultherapy, remember that these two skin tightening and skin lifting treatments work very well together. Many patients receive both treatments, including Botox, Dermal Fillers, and Laser Skin Resurfacing to achieve optimal anti-aging effects.

Thermage vs eyelid surgery

Thermage is often compared to a Blepharoplasty, (eyelid surgery) because Thermage can improve sagging eyelids with out invasive surgeries, scalpels, and lengthy recovery times. Eye lid surgery, or a Blepharoplasty is a surgical procedure that removes excess skin from sagging eye lids. Individuals may prefer a less invasive treatment such as Thermage, to modestly improve the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles and tighten, firm, or plump moderately loose or sagging skin.

While results may vary, the majority of our clients see a dramatic improvement almost immediately following their Thermage treatment. According to a study published in the Journal of The American Academy of Dermatology skin treated with radio-frequency treatments, such as Thermage, will continue to tighten and smooth out over the next 3 to 6 months, resulting in up to a 3 mm improvement.*

Thermage Reviews*

There are over 50 studies and clinical Thermage reviews that validate the safety and efficacy of Thermage. With realistic expectations and treating individuals who are good candidates for non-invasive skin tightening, Thermage reviews from patients are largely positive.

The media is also full of Thermage reviews as more and more celebrities are turning to non-invasive cosmetic treatments to replace invasive cosmetic surgeries such as blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery) or a face-lift. Bazaar magazine highlights Thermage Reviews from Hollywood A-listers, like Gwyneth Paltrow who said, following a Thermage treatment “I would do it again, because I feel like it took five years off my face.” InStyle highlights other celebrity Thermage Reviews, naming Jennifer Aniston as “a big fan of Thermage…a non-invasive treatment that uses radiofrequency waves to stimulate collagen, smoothing and tightening skin after just one 45-minute session.” Daily Mail published Ultherapy reviews from medical professionals, with one doctor saying “In severe cases surgery may be needed, but otherwise I would recomend Thermage CPT radio frequency, which gives impressive results on the abdomen.*

Individuals with loose, lax skin may benefit from Thermage Skin Tightening. If your skin is showing signs of aging, According to a study published in Facial Plastic Surgery Thermage skin tightening “offers a noninvasive method of tightening skin and soft tissue, causing softening of the nasolabial lines, tightening of the jowl, and improving the definition of the cervicomental angle, all without significant recovery time or complications.” Mothers who experience loose, lax skin after being pregnant can see incredible improvement as well.*
