Thermage In Australia : Innovation In Cosmetic Surgery
A number of Sydney cosmetic plastic surgeons have been using Thermage in the US for several years. They are pleased this new technology, which revitalizes a patient’s collagen and creates new growth, has finally been made available for Australians.
As one of our leading surgeons explains, ‘Stated very simply, this new Thermage technique and equipment used extremely high frequency radio waves, which uniformly warms large volumes of collagen hidden in deeper layers of the skin. While, at the same time, cooling and protecting the outer skin layers.
This Thermage treatment involves delivering high radio frequency through a head on the hand-held unit into the patient’s tissues to firm them. This heating action in the skin causes the deeper structures to immediately tighten. Over time, new and remodeled collagen is produced, resulting in a more youthful appearance with newer, younger-looking skin.
Thermage – “An effective non-surgical treatment to rejuvenate sagging skin".
Thermage is also known as the Non-surgical Facelift, and is relatively new to Australia. By using this break-through technique and equipment, it offers an effective non-invasive treatment to revitalise and lift sagging skin. It is not meant to be a substitute for a surgical facelift, but will appeal to both men and women in the 35 to 50 year age group.
For those people whose skin is showing some signs of laxity, but who are not willing or ready for surgery. Thermage is also an effective treatment people who have already had a facelift, but after the passage of time, they are starting to see some loosening of their facial appearance.
Thermage is a very simple technique, and the whole treatment takes between one hour and an hour and a half. The appearance of the skin post-treatment may appear a little flushed and pink, but this will not last long.
