Regardless of what you hear or read about facial wrinkles, it’s sagging and bagging that ages you most.  Luckily for Houston residents, there is Thermage. 

You can find out all about Thermage Houston and the tremendous benefits today. 

What’s so special about Thermage? Thermage treatment smooths and tightens loose skin and seemingly turns back the clock…all without invasive surgery or needles.  Actually, it’s the only non-invasive procedure available in the Houston area that can tighten, sculpt and redefine facial contours, giving you a more youthful and energized appearance.  

Since Thermage is administered without incisions, there is virtually no downtime at all.  Almost immediately, your skin looks and feels silky smooth, tighter and younger looking.

And it’s not just for your face.  Practically any area of your body can be transformed with Thermage’s rejuvenating technology.    

Body areas that benefit from Thermage Houston

Face

Though Thermage treatment doesn’t deliver the dramatic results of a surgical facelift, it works remarkably well to tighten and soften facial contours.  The jawline and saggy skin under the chin becomes taunt, firmer, and toned. Creases surrounding the nose and mouth are softened and smoothed, erasing years from your face.

Thermage can be simultaneously combined with Botox and Restylane for even more pronounced and dramatic results.  

Lips

For fuller and younger looking lips without injections and fillers, Thermage is the ultimate solution.  Fine lines and wrinkles are diminished with a small Thermatip apparatus.  In addition, collagen production is stimulated through the Thermage procedure, resulting in  plumper, more youthful lips.

Eyes

Thermage is ideal for treating delicate eye tissue.  The Thermage treatment lifts and opens eyes while softening age-revealing crow’s feet and fine lines.  

The tired and weary appearance often caused by hooding and under eye bags is drastically reduced with Thermage. And there’s no bruising or swelling to the eye area. 

Body

Thermage works wonders on the face, but other areas of the body can return to a more youthful appearance, as well.  Thermage procedures include breast lifts, arm lifts, buttock lifts, inner and outer thigh lifts, and abdominoplasty.  

Remarkably, Thermage lifts and tightens the deep, underlying tissues of the skin and improves slackness in the abdomen, arms and legs.  Even better, Thermage is a promising treatment for difficult cellulite.

Hands

Hands are one of the first tell-tale areas to reveal the aging process.  That’s because the collagen in hands deterioates quite rapidly in the delicate, thin skin.  Thermage tightens and diminishes hand lines and wrinkles giving a softer, more supple appearance.  Though the youthful appearance of hands is significantly  improved, age spots and spider veins are not treatable with Thermage.

The Thermage Houston treatment procedure

If you’re considering Thermage as an alternative to surgery, the fist step is to find a qualified Houston physician.  One treatment takes up to an hour to complete and is administered in a Houston cosmetic surgeon’s office.  Though usually 6 months are required before you see the final results, some clients may notice immediate improvement.  Depending on the initial results, the doctor may recommend a 6 month follow up Thermage procedure. 

Here’s how Thermage treatment works:  A patented radiofrequency called Thermacool delivers heat beneath the skin’s top layer.  This controlled heat is directed to tissues of the dermis causing skin to contract and tighten.  In the Thermage process, existing collagen is stimulated and new collagen grows and develops.

This is important because the breakdown of collagen in the body is what causes the sagging, bagging, crepiness and wrinkles that ages the skin.   Thermage sculpts and renews collagen to deliver incredibly smoother and thicker skin while diminishing the appearance of wrinkles.

Thermage treatment uses an apparatus called a Thermatip - a flat, smooth hand piece that delivers the radio freguency to the deep skin layers.  While large amounts of collagen are heated in controlled areas, the Thermatip is simultaneously preventing the skin’s outer layers from being burned by using a cryogen cooling effect.  

At all times, your Houston physician monitors and controlls the heat sensation to your skin.  Maximum Thermage treatment is balanced with comfort, and pain medication or anesthetic creams may be prescribed to minimize any discomfort you may experience.

Thermage Houston Lasting Effects

The results of Thermage treatments can last from 18 months up to 3 years, depending on individual aging processes.  Some results are more apparent than others but as collagen is stimulated and produced, noticable changes are obvious within 6 months.  

It’s a good idea to have your Houston doctor take before and after pictures so you can see and record the more subtle changes for yourself.  

Though most Thermage clients experience practically no side effects at all, a small minority experience slight reddening, almost like a mild sunburn.   A very few Thermage clients report blistering, swelling or bumps around the treated arease which go away after a few weeks.  No permanent damage to the skin occurs.  Fewer than twenty-five percent of clients worldwide report skin depression following Thermage treatment. 

Cost of Thermage Houston treatment

In the Houston area, the cost of Thermage varies and depends on the size of the area treated as well as the actual location of the area.  To determine the exact cost, the best advise is to arrange a consultation with a qualified Houston physician.  

Generally speaking, a full face or a body treatment ranges from $2000 to $5000.  Partial facial treatment is around $1000 to $3000.
