Patient Details
This 57-year-old woman was worried about the sagging around her jaw line and neck but did not want to undergo facelift surgery or have any fillers injected. She met with one of the board-certified plastic surgeons at Marina Plastic Surgery Associates to discuss what alternatives were available.
Considering her special requests, her surgeon suggested that she try a newer treatment called Thermage®. Unlike surgery, Thermage is a non-invasive treatment which uses radiofrequency (RF) technology to heat the deeper layers of your skin safely while it cools the top layers of your skin to keep them intact. The heating helps to stimulate the production of new collagen while tightening the current collagen, giving the skin a smoother tone and texture.
For many people, the results are noticeable shortly after the procedure and last for a long time. This could be a better option than fillers for some patients because fillers often need repeat treatments to maintain the results. Additionally, there is also little to no downtime after the procedure which can make this much more advantageous than surgery.
After her treatment with Thermage in Los Angeles, this patient was ecstatic. She chose to have a second treatment shortly after her first one.
