With ageing, we often start to develop loose sagging skin, wrinkles, fine lines and many more. Unfortunately, you cannot stop this from happening, but you can reverse the effects with some specific treatments that can help you the most. One of the non-invasive treatments that we know nowadays is the treatment named Thermage.
Most plastic surgeons and dermatologists have been using Thermage for 10 years now. This is a simple non-surgical procedure that can be performed in the office within a time frame of 30 minutes. Patients can obtain younger-looking skin with just one session.
At Retens, they use this process named Thermage FLX which is US FDA and EU CE safety certification. It uses a monopolar radio frequency technology that will heat up the deepest part of your skin with the help of non-invasive technology.
To make the most benefit of this treatment, you will need to follow these simple steps:
- Firstly, you need to understand the whole Thermage process: This is basically a heating up of the skin with the help of a radiofrequency that gives strength to your existing collagen and stimulates the production of a new one. This can be treated on areas like your eyelids, chin, cheeks, forehead, neck and other parts of your body. You do not require downtime here as this treatment would affect the innermost layer of your skin without affecting the outer layer. There might be some minor swelling, redness, bruising, or blisters which usually subside after some days.
- You have to be sure that your skin is suitable to take up this treatment: Usually, this treatment is well worked on mild to moderate sagging skin. It cannot work on heavy sagging skin or where there are a lot of fat or loose muscles.
- Your instructor will provide you with pre-procedure instructions: This is quite needed as you might have to discontinue certain skin care products days before the actual procedure.
- Be prepared for some little discomfort: You might feel some kind of discomfort throughout the process. If you are one with a low pain threshold then ask your healthcare provider who will give you some topical or oral anaesthetic.
- You need to make sure that you have enough time to get this treatment done. This might take around 30 minutes to one and a half hours to be in the office depending on the areas to be treated.
- The results for this thermage will appear gradually: For some patients, the results can be seen immediately while for others it may take some months to see any tightened or lifted skin. Usually, the full effects can be seen within six months. Thus, you need to be patient enough to see the results.
The results are usually going to vary depending on various factors like the laxity of your skin and your skin responding to the treatment. If you are taking up this procedure with Retens, just contact them for an appointment immediately. Since the launch of their product Thermage 眼 has been received well.
