Thermage Non-Surgical Face Lifts

There is now a way to turn back the clock without going under the knife. Non-surgical face lifts have been performed in Europe for years and are becoming more and more popular in the US. If you are interested in looking younger but don't have months to recover from a surgery, you might consider trying this procedure. it's a wonderful option to traditional surgery and offers some benefits that traditional surgery does not.

The most commonly known names for the type of procedure I am referring to are the thermage and therma-cool techniques. Thermage is the more popular name but both thermage and therma-cool actually refer to the brand name of the machine used by the professional.. Many professionals commonly refer to this type of non-surgical face life as "radio wave bombardment".

The way the procedure works is by actually subjecting the skin to radio waves. The frequency of the waves causes the top layer of the skin to break down on a molecular level. In order to repair itself the skin produces collagen. The good news is that there is no cutting, no bleeding and the repair takes place of several months time. That is, over several months the face creates new skin which is firmer, tighter and closer in appearance to younger skin. Skin that is sagging actually lifts to where it was formerly because of this tightening of the skin. Another benefit is that there are no tell tale signs that you have done a thing to alter your appearance. Many people have a thermage treatment done and go out in public or return to work the same day.

While a person undergoes a thermage treatment there is a stinging sensation. Many skin professionals give the patient a light sedative for this reason. While there is pain, it is tolerable and certainly nowhere near what someone endures when they have a traditional face lift.
