How Thermage Skin Care Works
As we age, collagen in the skin breaks down, causing wrinkles and sagging. Thermage is a skin care procedure that tightens and smoothens skin on the face, arms, tummy and hands, as well as in other areas, using heat radio frequency technology. Our medical spa in the Kansas City area offers Thermage treatments as part of our skin care solutions.
The Thermage skin care procedure is conducted in our medical spa, located in Overland Park near Kansas City. A handpiece is passed over the treatment area, delivering heat and radio-frequency energy to the deep layers of the skin. This radio energy and heat combination stimulates the existing collagen in your skin and causes the collagen to grow. The procedure takes between one and two hours depending on the size of area being targeted for treatment.
Following the Thermage treatment, you should see immediate results as the collagen rejuvenates and fills in the wrinkles, firming up previously sagging skin. The appearance of your skin will continue to improve over the next several months. In fact, Thermage treatments at our Kansas City area spa are known to produce great results that often last for months or years, depending on the condition of the skin at the time of the Thermage treatment.

How does Thermage work exactly?
We get a lot of questions from amazed patients about how Thermage manages to work its magic on aging or sagging skin. It's a simple procedure that works through a number of processes. Thermage applies deep heating and and radio frequency energy to the collagen in the underlayers of your skin. This causes the existing collagen to tighten but also stimulates new collagen formation. This is what causes the immediate tightening of skin that amazes our Kansas City area day spa patients. This immediate response makes skin smoother while also improving tone.
Thermage heats up the under layers of your skin, but it also cools the surface of the skin, which protects the skin during the Thermage procedure and prevents damage. This is why there's no recovery time associated with Thermage skin therapy treatments. There’s no damage that would require recovery.
While relatively new, Thermage is extremely safe. In rare cases a patient may experience mild swelling as a result of the procedure or other mild side effects such as redness, occasional blistering, numbness or pigment changes, all of which can be resolved. We would be happy to discuss such side effects with you in your free consultation.
It is estimated that more than 190,000 patients worldwide have undergone Thermage treatment. Thermage is approved by the FDA for use in the United States.
