Thermage Skin Care Procedures
With the introduction of non-invasive skin-care procedures like laser treatments and the Thermage skin-tightening procedure, there are now more options for combating the signs of aging. Wrinkles, fine lines, sagging jowls and crow's feet are a few of the signs of aging that the average person can expect to see as the years pass by. Unfortunately, because facial skin is more frequently exposed to the extrinsic factors that can cause these signs, it can often look older than it really is. Sun exposure, repetitive facial movements and gravity can all take a toll. Until recently, anti-aging skin-care treatments were limited primarily to collagen injections and plastic surgery.
Benefits of the Thermage Procedure
There are many laser skin-tightening treatments from which to choose, but some procedures are more suited to certain skin types and tones. In contrast, the Thermage procedure has been shown to work well on all tones and types. As with any laser treatment, Thermage carries some risk of side effects, though they seem to be rarer and less severe than with other treatments.
After the Thermage procedure, patients may experience:
- Slight redness
- Swelling
- Bumps
- Small heat blisters
- Tingling, burning or soreness (particularly along the jaw line)
To minimize the possibility of side effects, it's important to have the Thermage procedure done by a qualified physician. The professionals at AZSkinnovations.com are experienced in using the ThermaCool system and are committed to providing quality care to all patients.
