Thermage™

Imagine tighter, wrinkle-free skin without the risk and down time of surgery! Now, a breakthrough procedure called Thermage is helping patients fight the signs of aging without surgery or injections. Plastic Surgery Center of the South's medical spa is one of the few locations in Georgia to offer this new innovated procedure.

Thermage is clinically proven to tighten and contour skin through the stimulation of your own collagen. This completely non-invasive procedure uses radiofrequency technology to safely tighten skin while improving your skin's tone and texture. It works by safely heating the under layers of your skin, tightening existing collagen and stimulating new collagen development.

Thermage may be a perfect alternative for people considering a facelift or other surgical procedures to combat the signs of aging. Unlike surgery, no anesthesia is necessary and there is no down time after the procedure. Patients can return to normal activity immediately and no special after-care treatment is required.

Does it sound easy? Well it is. Does it hurt? There is some mild discomfort during the procedure, however you are given a relaxant to take the edge off. The procedure involves short pulses of heat sensation, indicating that collagen is being stimulated and tightened. Continuous feedback from the patient on heat levels helps to minimize discomfort while maximizing results.

Results are visible for some patients immediately, although most results are subtle and improve over time, depending on your skin condition and where your are in the aging process. Most tightening improvements appear gradually over 2 to 6 months, with results lasting up to 3 years.

Thermage treatments can be done on the entire face, eyes and most areas of the body, including the stomach, buttocks, arms and legs. Thermage is offered only in offices of qualified physicians who have been properly trained to do the procedure.
