Is Thermage Skin Rejuvenation Truly As Effective and Safe as Claimed?

Thermage is a rejuvenation procedure, which makes the skin tighter. Several tests have been conducted that prove its effectiveness.. It has gained a lot of popularity since it was approved by the FDA and is being used by an ever-increasing number of people across the world.

The skin is subjected to radio waves during Thermage to make old collagen firmer, and to kick start the production of fresh collagen – very similar the system used in the new vitiligo treatment and pearly penile papules treatment. It usually takes a few weeks for Thermage to start showing results. The effect is gradual, but guaranteed. The two factors that decide the duration of a typical Thermage procedure are how much skin is being treated and what its condition is, but it is highly unlikely that it would take more than two hours.

As time has passed, queries have begun to crop up concerning the safety of Thermage procedures. According to the Thermage clinic, fat atrophy and similar problems have sometimes been reported by people who have undergone Thermage.

To look into these doubts, medical professionals have undertaken detailed investigations, and have concluded that the problems affect a statistically inconsequential number of cases. Moreover, most of these problems were faced by those patients on whom a Thermage procedure was carried out under high-energy settings. These cases highlight the need to get Thermage done only through a reliable practitioner who has sufficient experience in the procedure.

Almost no side effects are caused by Thermage treatment, making it an absolutely harmless therapy when handled by specialists. The technology has improved a lot over the years, and most doctors are now well trained in conducting the procedure in the correct manner.

Since patients get a heating sensation during the treatment, special care is now taken to cool the skin with a cooling spray to eliminate whatever little discomfort was being reported. Temporary side effects such as reddening of the skin may be observed in some cases of Thermage but they normally disappear within a week.
