How do thermage® Face Tightening Treatments work?

Collagen is the skin’s fountain of youth. It helps skin look fresh and full of life by filling it out with plump resilience. As we age and are exposed to the elements, collagen production slows down and existing collagen becomes saggy, elongated, and depleted. This collagen loss causes your skin to look loose, as fine lines and wrinkles also start to appear.

Thermage treatments use radio frequency energy to safely tighten collagen deep within the skin. The radio frequency energy also increases production of new collagen so that the improvements continue to increase gradually over time.

can thermage® be combined with any other treatments?

It is possible to improve upon perfection! While Dr. Petropoulos provides exquisite facial renewal for her Boston-area patients using Thermage, combining it with Fraxel®, a fractionated laser skin treatment, superlative, yet natural results are achieved. This exciting non-surgical combination breakthrough in facial rejuvenation is called ThermaFrax. Dr. Petropoulos was one of the first physicians in the country to offer it. She begins the facial renewal process with Fraxel to re-texturize the skin; this corrects fine lines, large pores, and brown spots so that the skin looks and feels young again. After about a month, she uses Thermage to tighten and contour the skin. With ThermaFrax, we can improve the superficial skin texture and tighten the skin on a deeper level as well.

Thermage® Treatment Process

Thermage treatments usually take about an hour, depending on the size of the areas you are having treated. (Thermage body treatments are also available to lose inches and address cellulite, and these treatments may take longer.) With each touch of the Thermage treatment tip, you will feel a brief, heating sensation. To optimize your comfort, we deliver a cooling spray is automatically before, during, and after each application of the treatment tip.

Thermage® Results

You will see and feel some tightening right away and your skin will continue to tighten over the next 6 months, lifting your cheeks and restoring a crisp jaw line for you once again.
