Ever wonder what can be done about loose, sagging skin on the abdomen, arms, thighs, or buttocks? Until recently, the only option for improving the appearance of these areas was painful, expensive surgery with weeks of recovery time. Surgery that involves risks and unsightly scars. Enter the era of Thermage.
Body treatments using Thermage can lift and tighten skin that becomes loose as a result of weight loss, post pregnancy, or gravity. Best of all, Thermage can be done in the office with little discomfort, no downtime, and no scarring.
Thermage works by causing heat in the deepest layers of the skin. Imagine a sweater that has lost its shape with repeated wearing and washing. To get that sweater to shrink down and fit better, you’d throw it in the dryer. Similarly, Thermage, a radiofrequency device creates deep heating in the skin while cooling the surface of the skin. That heat causes contraction of the underlying collagen, which immediately tightens the skin. Over 3-6 months time, the skin creates more collagen in response to the thermal injury. The result is a tauter, more sculpted appearance.
At the Asarch Center, we employ a sophisticated technique tailored to each patient and their personal needs. Depending on the body area treated, Thermage takes only a couple of hours, leaving no visible marks on the skin. Most patients will see and feel immediate results without any recovery time. A new, larger treatment tip is now used which decreases both the time and the discomfort of the procedure.
