ThermaCool Skin Care System
With the advent of the ThermaCool system, looking younger has become easier. Instead of collagen injections or invasive cosmetic surgery, patients can now address loss of skin tone, wrinkles and sun damage with laser skin-tightening treatments like the Thermage procedure. This therapy employs a combination of heating and cooling to promote tighter skin through collagen regrowth.
The Components of the ThermaCool System
The Thermage ThermaCool system consists of five major components: a radiofrequency (RF) generator, a handpiece, the unique ThermaTip delivery device, a cooling module, and the consumable products needed for each individual client. The computerized generator and handpiece are the nuts and bolts of the ThermaCool system. The generator not only produces the radio-frequnecy waves necessary for treatment, but it also stores and displays crucial client information, such as individual treatment settings and tissue impedance information. The handpiece works in conjunction with the generator and the cooling module to process all the treatment information, such as skin temperature, treatment force and the delivery of the cooling element, cryogen.
Because the system's ThermaTip delivery device has multi-functions, it's easily customizable to each patient, ensuring optimal delivery and skin contact. The ThermaTip is among the consumable products needed for each patient. Among its functions are:
- Delivering cryogen
- Monitoring temperature
- Transmitting RF energy--the heart of the ThermaCool system
Though having single-use quantities of ThermaTips, return pads and proprietary coupling fluid makes the Thermage procedure a little more expensive than other treatments, AZSkinnovations.com knows that the assurance of patient safety makes it worthwhile.
