By Nasrin Mani, M.D.
Why does your skin become wrinkled and loose? Your skin cells stop producing the required amount of collagen, a naturally occurring protein that keeps the skin tight and firm. The causes for this loss vary from rapid weight loss and recent pregnancies to simply aging.
At the La Jolla Cosmetic Laser Clinic, Thermage skin rejuvenation treatment helps restore the firmness your skin once had.
Thermage uses a handheld heating device that applies heat to skin cells deep under the top skin levels while simultaneously cooling the surface. There are no injections involved, no anesthesia required, and no scar tissue as a result. The technology behind Thermage is highly advanced and gives Dr. Nasrin Mani a new level of precision.
After undergoing a Thermage treatment, the heated cells “remodel” which actually means they shrink up. Then the skin responds further by producing new extra collagen again, resulting in firmer, younger looking skin. The ongoing skin rejuvenation results continue for about 6 months and can provide tighter contours for years!
The advantage of Thermage is that it can be used on any part of the body or face where you are experiencing loose or sagging skin. One of the most popular areas is on the face, particularly around the eyes and jowls.
Although Thermage has the capability for precision on and around the face, it can also target larger areas. You can use Thermage on the most common problematic spots:
- Stomach
- Buttocks
- Thighs
- Arms
- Lower legs
