Face by Thermage™
The Thermage radiofrequency system has been the gold standard for tightening skin of the jaw line, face, and upper neck without any down time. This skin rejuvenation procedure uses a radio-frequency device that tightens lax skin without injury to the skin's top layer (epidermis). However, Olympic Dermatology and Laser Clinic is proud to announce the acquisition of the new Thermage CPT technology- the first in the Northwest! This technology provides an advanced software-controlled cooling mechanism, reconfigured frame tips for enhanced heat distribution and a vibratory handpiece to minimize discomfort during the procedure. Clinical studies have shown enhanced patient satisfaction with a greater comfort level experienced during the procedure. Also, analysis has shown an overall improvement in tightening of the face compared to older technology.
Olympic Dermatology and Laser Clinic is a leader in the use of this exciting skin rejuvenation technology. By incorporating the new CPT Frame tip™ with multiple passes, our patients are enjoying even more tissue tightening and contouring effects. Our Clinic first offered the Thermage facial procedure in March 2003. Since then, we have become a Northwest leader with our involvement in Thermage's FDA clinical studies and as Washington's first clinic recognized by Thermage for advanced education and training.
The Thermage New CPT handpiece
This may not represent all outcomes of this procedure.
The Thermage CPT device generates volumetric heating in the deep layers of the skin, while a chilled mist cools and protects the skin's outer surface. Heating deep tissue layers produces a gradual skin tightening and lifts sagging eyebrows, jaw lines, cheeks and the neck. The Thermage skin rejuvenation treatment also stimulates collagen production, which improves skin tone and texture over the next 6 months.
A typical procedure can last about 2 hours, and is well tolerated. Some patients experience mild redness or swelling for several days after the procedure, and it is expected that normal activities can be resumed the day of the procedure. For most patients, one to two treatments will suffice. Additional treatment(s) may be needed to achieve the desired result. However, since benefits gradually appear over 4 to 6 months, additional treatment(s) are not usually performed until 4 to 6 months after the initial procedure. Patient satisfaction is usually high.
