HOW DOES THERMAGE® FOR THE BODY WORK?

As the skin ages, the collagen starts to break down naturally which results in sagging and loose skin. Thermage® stimulates your body’s natural collagen production which in turn provides amore youthful-looking appearance. 

Thermage® treatment is done by heating deep layers of collagen in the skin and at the same time, protecting the skin surface with the help of a cooling spray. ThermaCool™ device consists of the ThermaTip that is attached to a handpiece that gently touches the skin and delivers safe CRF energy deeply under the skin. Deep heating disrupts the collagen bonds and changes its molecular structure. It is responsible for restructuring the underlying tissue and the skin tightens and gets firm right away. The production of new and remodeled collagen continues over a period of time and tightens the skin even further. The skin contour is renewed and rejuvenated.

WHAT AREAS CAN THERMAGE® TREAT?

The signs of aging are not only shown on the face and neck. They can be visible on the whole body. As the body matures it develops skin sags and bulges that can be difficult to get rid of.

    • HOW DOES THERMAGE® FOR BODY TREATMENT LOOK LIKE?

      Prior to the treatment, patients are consulted with Lucia Clinic Thermage therapists who assess the patients’ bodies and create a custom-tailored treatment. The therapist decides on the number of treatment sessions based on the skin condition, and how the patient’s body reacts to the application of heat. Most importantly the number one goal of Lucia Clinic therapists is to keep the patients satisfied with the outcomes.

    • DURING THE TREATMENT

      For the best results, it is necessary to reach effective deep heating but also the effective cooling of the surface of the skin in order not to damage it. Before the treatment starts, the targeted area is cleaned with alcohol and the patient is applied with a temporary treatment grid - squares (or pressure points) that help the Thermage® therapist to place the handpiece correctly and evenly. After that, a coupling lotion is applied to the targeted area. The handpiece has sensors that monitor pressure and temperature, so if all 4 tip corners are not completely touching the skin, the handpiece stops the emission of energy and doesn’t burn the surface of the skin.

      When the Thermage® treatment starts, the patient feels a short sensation of deep heating with every touch of the Thermage Tip. The heating is produced with the emission of CRF energy that goes deep into the underlying tissue and stimulates the collagen to start tightening. Also, it stimulates the production of new collagen which ensures the best results. This heating sensation actually shows that the effective temperature for collagen reshaping is achieved in the deep layers of the skin.

      The treatment is comfortable because the surface of the skin is protected with the cooling prior, during and after each CRF energy emission and can’t get burned. The cooling tip makes the Thermage® device deliver volumetric heating of the underlying tissue but it doesn’t hurt the epidermis. The Thermage® therapist is guided by the patient’s feedback on the heating level, and can at any time lower the temperature in order to make the procedure more comfortable but also to achieve the best results.
