For those who wish to visibly improve the appearance of the skin for a more youthful appearance, Thermage treatment can be an effective option. Thermage treatment can be used on many different parts of the body to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, to smooth out uneven and dimpled skin, reduce sagging skin, and even to temporarily reduce the appearance of cellulite. 
What Is Thermage Treatment?
Thermage treatment uses a type of radiofrequency that penetrates deep under the layers of the skin to heat up the collagen layers beneath. These noninvasive radiofrequencies can tighten up exiting collagen while stimulating the production of more collagen to effectively give a smoother, more even, and youthful appearance to the skin. Skin appears fuller, more elastic, and lifted while giving a smoother appearance. As a wrinkle treatment, Thermage triggers the production of collagen to help fill in fine lines and wrinkles, resulting in a tighter, lifted, and smoother appearance.
What Are the Benefits and Risks of Thermage Treatment?
The benefits of Thermage include its noninvasive technique that results in little to no downtime after the procedure. Results can typically be achieved in just one 45 minute to 90 minute session, with results that are immediately noticeable and improve over the next 2 to 6 months. Depending on individual skin conditions, the results can last for years. As with any cosmetic procedure, there are risks. These include feeling of cold and hot sensations during treatment and he potential for minor redness and swelling following the procedure that should fade within 24 hours.
How Effective Are Thermage Treatments?
Thermage is a good choice for those who do not wish more invasive methods such as surgery or injections. Thermage treatment works best for those who need only mild to moderate results. A more drastic change in appearance may require more invasive procedures. For those who want more noticeable and longer lasting results than what can be delivered through creams and lotions, Thermage can be an excellent choice. It is important to have realistic expectations for this procedure for the best satisfaction with results.
