What Is Thermage CPT?
Thermage® CPT for face is a proven, non-surgical procedure that tightens and smooths the facial skin and reduces fine lines and wrinkles. During the procedure, the existing collagen is firmed and tightened, and the production of new collagen is stimulated. Some patients may see immediate results after the treatment, but as the new collagen is produced by the skin, the results continue to improve in the next 6 months.
It is FDA-approved, safe, and brings long-lasting results. It restores a more youthful appearance as well as firms, tightens, tones and contours the facial skin. Thermage® CPT for the face treatment rejuvenates the facial skin and returns a improved skin complexion. It is performed with RF energy which tightens the loose skin. The treatment is also known as a non-surgical facelift.
How Does It Work?
Thermage® CPT for the face works by heating the deep layers of the skin where there is an abundance of collagen fibers. The heating is delivered by the safe RF energy that stimulates the skin’s existing collagen and causes the building of a new one. This deep uniform heating triggers the remodeling of the collagen network. Over time, the facial skin becomes plumper, smoothe,r and rejuvenated. The results are gradually more visible – wrinkles and fine lines are reduced, the texture of the skin is improved, and the aging signs are greatly decreased. Thermage CPT for the face treatment lifts the facial skin, restores its structure, improves the facial contours and keeps the face looking fresh and youthful.
What Does Thermage CPT Target?
Thermage® CPT for the face treatment can address different areas on the face and also the neck. It can tighten the skin in:
- Upper or Periorbital area – this includes the forehead and the around the eyes area
- Mid and lower face – this includes the cheeks, around the mouth area, jowls, jawline and under the chin.
- The neck
Patients with mild to moderate loose facial skin are ideal candidates for Thermage® CPT for the face treatment. They are over 30 years old, or they are experiencing the early signs of aging. Patients who desire to tighten the skin on their neck, brow, cheek,s and jowls but don’t want to undergo more invasive procedures will greatly benefit from this treatment. Patients who have realistic expectations and wish to improve the overall appearance of their faces are perfect candidates for Thermage® for the face treatment.
What Does the Treatment Look Like?
Upon arriving at Lucia Clinic, the patient is first consulted with Lucia’s Thermage therapist. The therapist examines the patient’s facial skin and determines whether he/she is a good candidate for this treatment. Then, the therapist talks with the patient about his/her goals and expectations and creates a customized treatment plan that will address the patient’s specific skin concerns.
The Thermage therapist then cleans the patient’s face to remove makeup, creams and other impurities. While the face is still wet, the therapist applies a special, temporary grid on the targeted area. This is a piece of paper with squares and circles that is transferred to the skin and serves as a grid so that the therapist does not overlap the pulses.
When the treatment starts, the therapist places the Thermage applicator on the patient’s face and starts releasing the RF pulses. The therapist uses a special treatment tip called Thermatip™ to deliver a controlled amount of RF energy. With each pulse, the applicator heats deeper layers of the patient’s skin and, at the same time, protects the outer layer of the skin with cooling and vibration. This ensures the patient’s comfort.
During the treatment, the patient is asked to provide feedback on the level of heating that he/she feels from the RF pulses. The feedback actually helps the therapist to make sure that the patient is absolutely comfortable and safe during the treatment. The therapist can always lower the level of energy if the patient is experiencing any discomfort.
The procedure usually lasts for 60-120 minutes, depending on the size of the targeted area and how well the patient tolerates the procedure.
Downtime and Side Effects
After the treatment, the therapist cleans the temporary grid from the patient treatment area. The patient can immediately feel that the skin has become tighter because the uniform heating caused loose collagen structures to get firmer. The patient can return to his/her regular skincare regime right after the treatment. It is recommended to use a high SPF when exposed to the sun.
As the procedure is non-invasive, it requires no downtime. Thermage® CPT for the face treatment is non-ablative, and it works beneath the skin’s surface. The top layer of the skin is left unharmed. Most patients can return to their normal daily activities right away. Some patients experience redness similar to sunburn, but it resolves quickly.
Other side effects include swelling around or on the targeted area. Blisters rarely occur. All the sensitivities should stop in a couple of days or weeks. Should the patient experience some unusual discomfort, he/she should immediately inform the dermatologis,t who will take further, necessary actions.
