How to Tighten the Skin Without Surgery

For patients who want to tighten their skin without going under the knife, there may be no better solution than Thermage. According to Dr. Donald Lee of Biz Med Spa, a med spa in Fremont, California, Thermage is a technique that uses advance radio frequency technology to improve the look of patients’ skin.
Roughly speaking, Thermage is a procedure that uses radio frequency technology that is very similar to electrical waves. Radio waves, which act similar to those that come out of a typical AM/FM radio, emanate out of a device that is used to tighten people’s skin. The constant electrical waves are actually called RF.
The way RF works is by penetrating very deeply into the skin. This deep penetration heats up the skin and stimulates collagen formation. The process itself is commonly referred to as neo collagen formation. As Dr. Lee explains, a med spa in Fremont would use this technique to get those RF waves deep into the skin in a very non-invasive way.
Even more importantly, the Thermage treatment itself is relatively painless. Patients can expect to feel a cool sensation or feeling on their bodies while undergoing the Thermage procedure. The RF waves will then heat up the skin, causing collagen enzymes to build up. This is the actual part of the procedure that causes the collagen to burst into action and leads to the skin looking tighter and more firm.
A good candidate for Thermage would be someone who was concerned about drooping skin due to aging or sun damage. People with dropping skin can be helped dramatically by undergoing the Thermage treatment. Additionally, the Fremont med spa expert says that someone who wants to have tighter-looking skin but is afraid to go under the knife and have surgery would be considered the ideal candidate for Thermage. Thermage can deliver results that are comparable to the results that someone could expect from other types of invasive cosmetic surgery, but without the high cost, the potential scars, and the lengthy recovery times.
Patients who have Thermage procedures done can expect to see incredible results almost immediately. Within hours and days, patients can get a younger, more youthful looking appearance with the help of Thermage.
For more information on this procedure and any risk factors that are involved, Dr. Lee recommends that women of all ages contact his med spa in Fremont and schedule a consultation appointment to find out more.
