above the knees, hands, and even your
underarms.
4. How does the Thermage CPT
work?

radio frequency energy in order to heat the
layers lying beneath the skin. This stimulates
that collagen-rich layers to tighten as well as
produce new collagen in order to make the
skin stronger, healthier and more flexible. It
eliminates the sagging, provide better contours
and it gives a general appearance of
youthfulness as it smoothens the skin.

skin tightening treatments.
5. How does the procedure feel
like?
Once the tip of the machine comes in
contact with your skin, you will initially feel
a cool sensation which aids in promoting
patient comfort. After the cooling
sensation, it is then followed by a brief
heated sensation which is then finished by
another wave of cool air. The heat will tell
you that the desired temperatures are
reached in order to promote tightening and
collagen formation.
You don’t have to worry about too much
heat in a specific spot because your doctor
will regularly monitor the heat sensation
that you are receiving. This is also a way for
them to ensure your comfort as well as
successful results.
