No matter how hard people resist, time takes its toll. Looking in the mirror, it is already with regret that you can find new wrinkles on your face. What to do? Give in to time? Or go for an expensive operation under a surgical knife? Fortunately, medicine and technology are moving forward, and there is no need to choose between the two extremes today. Thermage of the face will be an excellent solution for those who wish to restore the skin of their former youth, without resorting to plastic surgery!

What is facial thermage?

The term thermage is formed from two English words “therm” - “therm, temperature” and “age” - “age”. Already from the name it becomes clear that the procedure Thermage is a struggle with age through thermal exposure. With the help of a special apparatus, the face is exposed to radio-frequency pulses, heating the upper layers of the dermis.

This technology is an improved version of diathermy. The difference is that outdated technology had a thermal effect on too deep levels of body tissues, which subsequently harmed the skin. Modern thermage does not penetrate so deeply, affecting only those layers of the dermis to be sufficient for rejuvenation, and at the same time safe for health.
