Thermage® is a revolutionary skin treatment designed to tighten and tone the skin so as to smooth away wrinkles and lines and eliminate sagging. The result - Thermage® gives the patient a younger appearance. Quinn Medical Day Spa provides Thermage® treatments for the face and body to patients in Kansas City, Overland Park, Leawood and surrounding areas. Thermage® is a non-surgical procedure with no downtime and excellent results. At our Kansas City practice, this treatment is overseen by Dr. John Michael Quinn, an experienced plastic surgeon.
How Thermage® Skin Tightening Works
As we age, collagen in the skin breaks down, causing wrinkles and sagging. Thermage® is a skin care procedure that tightens and smooths skin on the face, arms, tummy and hands, as well as in other areas, using heat radio frequency technology. Our medical spa in the Kansas City area offers Thermage® treatments as part of our skin care solutions.
During the Thermage® skin tightening procedure a handpiece is passed over the treatment area, delivering heat and radio-frequency energy to the deep layers of the skin. This radio energy and heat combination stimulates the existing collagen in your skin and causes the collagen to grow. The procedure takes between one and two hours, depending on the size of the area being targeted for treatment.
Following the Thermage® treatment, you should see immediate results as the collagen rejuvenates and fills in the wrinkles, firming up previously sagging skin. The appearance of your skin will continue to improve over the next several months. In fact, Thermage® treatments at our Kansas City area spa are known to produce great results that often last for months or years, depending on the condition of the skin at the time of the Thermage® treatment.
Who should undergo Thermage® skin tightening treatment?
Thermage® is ideal as a skin care solution for patients who have had babies, have lost weight or have skin that has wrinkled or lost elasticity through the normal aging process. Thermage® can be used to:
- tighten sagging jowls
- firm the skin underneath the chin
- re-contour the jaw line
- improve the overall texture and tone of skin
- lift the eye area
How does Thermage® work exactly?
We get a lot of questions from amazed patients about how Thermage® manages to work its magic on aging or sagging skin. It's a simple procedure that works through a number of processes. Thermage® applies deep heating and and radio frequency energy to the collagen in the underlayers of your skin. This causes the existing collagen to tighten but also stimulates new collagen formation. This is what causes the immediate tightening of skin that amazes our Kansas City area day spa patients. This immediate response makes skin smoother while also improving tone.
Thermage® heats up the deep layers of your skin, but it also cools the surface of the skin, which protects the skin during the Thermage® procedure and prevents damage. This is why there's no recovery time associated with Thermage® skin therapy treatments. There’s no damage that would require recovery.
While relatively new, Thermage® is extremely safe. In rare cases a patient may experience mild swelling as a result of the procedure or other mild side effects such as redness, occasional blistering, numbness or pigment changes, all of which can be resolved. We would be happy to discuss such side effects with you in your free consultation.
It is estimated that more than 190,000 patients worldwide have undergone Thermage® treatment. Thermage® is approved by the FDA for use in the United States.
