Thermage®

The newest technology to reverse the signs of aging uses radiofrequency to lift and tighten sagging skin. This radiofrequency gently heats the deep surface of the skin causing it to contract and tighten.

This lifts the face, brow and cheeks without surgery and without downtime. The procedure is safe and takes as little as an hour to complete. Only topical anesthesia is used and patients return to work or play immediately following a treatment.

Charlie and Dr. Stevens were some of the first "patients" treated with the ThermaCool Thermage Facelift at Marina Plastic Surgery Associates and both were impressed. "I could see Charlie's brow and lids lift after only 3 days" says Dr. Stevens. "Her photos document a significant lift after one week, however most people will see the maximum lift in a few months."

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved the ThermaCool TCTM System for the non-invasive treatment of wrinkles around the eyes in November. The new cosmetic use clearance is based on clinical data showing that a single treatment as a non-surgical face lift can safely improve the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles around the eyes (such as crow's feet).

Cellulite Reduction with Thermage

The lumpy, dimpled appearance of cellulite for Los Angeles patients results from a variety of factors including age and health habits, but it is mostly due to genetic factors that are beyond your ability to control - or correct. Thermage can reduce cellulite by addressing the underlying factors that contribute to that "orange peel" look in common problem areas like the abdomen, thighs, hips, buttocks, and legs.

Thermage radiofrequencies target underlying collagen fibers, which can cause a lumpy appearance when they lose their flexibility and squeeze fat into pockets that press into the skin, making it bulge outward. In just one session, the gentle Thermage radio energy stimulates collagen to regain flexibility while it helps soften fatty layers and allow collagen to fortify itself, contributing to a better skin tone.

Thermage is FDA approved to temporarily correct the appearance of cellulite, and because it uses radio energy, it is effective for even tanned and dark-toned skin. After you receive a Thermage treatment from our cellulite treatment specialists in Southern California, you will see subtle results immediately; full effects develop in the 4 to 6 months following treatment.

Other options for Los Angeles cellulite reduction include SmoothShapes®, which utilizes innovative laser technology.
