Thermage is a new method of facial rejuvenation, wrinkle removal and skin tightening that has become popular in recent years. It is the transliteration of the English word Thermage. The principle is to use a probe, which can generate high-energy, high-frequency radio waves in front of the probe. The radio waves can be injected into the dermis of the skin, stimulating the contraction of collagen in the dermis, and the skin will look tighter.
What are the effects and side effects of Thermage?
As a non-invasive skin tightening and anti-aging treatment, Thermage has the following effects and side effects:
Effects of Thermage:
1. Tightening skin: Thermage stimulates the contraction and regeneration of skin collagen through deep heating technology, thereby achieving the effect of tightening the skin.
2. Reduce wrinkles: Thermage can improve wrinkles on the face and body, making the skin look younger.
3. Improve skin quality: Thermage promotes skin metabolism, improves uneven skin tone and dullness, and makes the skin more delicate and smooth.
4. Whole body anti-aging: Thermage is not only suitable for the face and neck, but can also be used to treat other parts of the body to achieve whole body anti-aging effects.
5. Lifting facial contours: Thermage can stimulate the fascia layer deep in the skin, lift facial contours, and improve facial sagging and double chins.
Side effects of Thermage:
1. Skin redness and pain: After treatment, patients may feel slight redness and pain on the skin, which is a normal treatment reaction. Usually these symptoms will subside on their own within a few hours to a few days.
2. Blisters and scabs: In rare cases, blisters may occur if the treatment energy is too high or the patient's skin is too sensitive. After the blisters rupture, scabs may form, which require proper care to avoid infection.
3. Skin burns: If the therapist operates improperly or the machine parameters are set unreasonably, the skin temperature may be too high, causing skin burns. This situation is relatively rare, but if it occurs, medical treatment is required immediately.
4. Pigmentation: Some patients may experience pigmentation after treatment, that is, the skin color becomes darker. This is usually due to the skin being irritated after treatment and the melanocytes becoming active. Pigmentation generally fades over time, but additional treatments may be needed to speed up its fading.
5. Temporary numbness: During the treatment, the patient may feel a slight numbness in the skin in the treated area. This is due to the stimulation of nerve endings by the treatment energy and generally disappears quickly.
