The Stratford Dermatherapy Clinic has been using THERMAGE since 2004. There are only 16 users in the UK.
The Thermage procedure is performed with The ThermaCool System and it works by using deep tissue heating to tighten the deep collagen fibres of skin and its underlying tissue, while protecting the skin surface with a cooling spray. This initial deep thermal tightening of collagen also signals a natural biological repair process that causes additional skin tightening and restoration of a younger skin appearance.
The ThermaCool system is the first non-invasive device that tightens tissue, because it treats the deeper structures of the skin. While the Thermage procedure is not a replacement for a traditional "facelift" procedure, the non-invasive Thermage alternative can provide a significant tissue tightening effect to the millions of patients who are not ready to go "under the knife" to reduce the signs of ageing.
