 What is Thermage®? (click link) is an FDA-approved, non-invasive treatment for tightening skin and reducing fine lines and wrinkles. It improves facial contour and promotes the growth of new collagen, giving skin a younger, healthier glow.
How does the treatment work?
The medical professionals at MD Laser Spa apply the device to the skin, infusing it with a specific radio frequency. The collagen is heated, and the surface of the skin cooled. This causes the skin to immediately lift and continue to tighten over the following months.
How many treatments are required?
You usually see results in as little as one treatment. The medical professional will determine how many sessions are needed to achieve your desired results.
