Are you tired of the appearance of your skin? Are you overwhelmed by aging changes that cause wrinkled, loose, and sagging skin to mar your face and body? It doesn’t have to be this way. Thermage is a noninvasive cosmetic treatment designed to improve the overall look of aging skin. Dr. Michael I. Jacobs in New York, NY uses radiofrequency energy to rejuvenate and revitalize skin using the Thermage process.
Discover the Power of Thermage Treatment
An Overview
This cosmetic treatment is designed to be noninvasive while improving the overall appearance of the skin and eliminating the signs of aging. The Thermage process tightens loose skin, minimizes the appearance of wrinkles, and uses collagen stimulation and growth to help develop more supple and youthful-looking skin.
After receiving this treatment, it won’t take long to look and feel like yourself again. Skin will improve dramatically and appear soft, supple, tight, and wrinkle-free. The stimulation of collagen growth that radiofrequency energy creates during the treatment process makes loose skin a thing of the past. Your body and face will return to the youthful, attractive state you’ve always wanted.

Intended Results
Like most other cosmetic treatments, you expect to experience certain intended results after the process is complete. This treatment makes it possible to create youthful and beautiful skin no matter your age. Aging does not have to mean your complexion worsens. The proper protocols offered by Thermage therapy can deliver satisfying and effective results, surpassing the effectiveness of other skin treatments.
Instead of going through life feeling old because of your skin, it’s time to revitalize your life and bring your youthful appearance back into the fold. Your mind still feels young and alive, but you see aging, less supple skin when you look in the mirror. Thermage therapy can help your appearance to match how vital you feel. With this treatment, you can expect tightened, smoother skin with fewer noticeable fine lines and wrinkles and a more chiseled facial structure.
The Texture of the Skin Becomes Tighter
Tight skin becomes difficult to maintain as we age. Over time, the body stops producing collagen, resulting in limited skin elasticity. The radiofrequency energy used in this treatment encourages greater collagen growth and more lift, resulting in skin regaining elasticity. It is supple, soft, yet it maintains its shape without looking stretched or disproportionate.
The beauty of this treatment is its ability to slow down and halt the aging process. As we get older, our collagen stores diminish and the human body doesn’t create it as effectively as it does in younger people. But this treatment solves the problem by stimulating collagen growth, slowing aging, tightening the skin, and restoring youthful-looking skin that is supple and glowing.
The Surface of the Skin Becomes Smoother
There are so many myths about achieving smooth skin as we age that it’s hard to keep track of them all. Most skincare creams, pills, and potions do not provide the desired results because they do not target the root cause of wrinkles and fine lines. This is a distressing and painful issue for many people who want their skin to look young, supple, and wrinkle-free once again.
The wonderful thing about this treatment is its ability to soften and smooth out aging skin. Unlike other skincare regimens, this treatment helps to turn back the hands of time by delivering lasting, real-world results in a single session. When compared to other processes that require multiple treatments, this option acts quickly and provides enduring and noticeable skin improvement.
The Treatment Reduces the Appearance of Fine Lines, Wrinkles, and Creases
Improving the appearance of creases, wrinkles, and fine lines is a constant struggle, and treatment routines can become complex. You may have turned to over-the-counter remedies but found they produced limited results. It is natural to be skeptical of any treatment claiming to rid the face and body of creases, wrinkles, and fine lines once and for all.
This treatment is different. This treatment uses radiofrequency energy to heat the skin and penetrate the deeper layers that hold collagen to restore your skin’s youthful appearance. This isn’t your typical treatment using vitamins, minerals, or other substances that may or may not help. Each treatment lasts 30 to 90 minutes, and patients experience fast results. These results can last for years and require little to no downtime.
The Jawline Becomes More Defined and Contoured
Another unfortunate side effect of aging is how it can impact the jawline. Men and women both experience these changes as the jawline becomes less defined with age. This usually happens because the muscles shrink and we hold more fat around the jaw and neck as we age. The radiofrequency energy process can remedy this sign of aging.
The great part about this treatment is its ability to create definition and better contouring around the jawline area. Your jaw will look defined, sharp, and as chiseled as it did earlier in life. This will give you the appearance of a strong and shapely jawline. You’ll seem more confident, trustworthy, successful, and happy after completing a single session of this therapy.
What to Expect During a Treatment Session
This treatment does not take very long, so it will not require much of your time, although it provides outstanding results. The best part about this treatment is that, depending on the problem area you are targeting, your session will last 90 minutes at most. In an hour and a half or less, you can experience a noticeable improvement in the quality and appearance of your skin. In under two hours, your skin will look younger, smoother, and wrinkle-free once again.
Treatment Expectations for the Face
It shouldn’t surprise anyone to learn that this treatment is much quicker when focusing on the face instead of larger areas of the body. It is a relatively quick and easy process to undergo. A Thermage therapy session targeting the skin on your face and around your eyes will only take 30 to 45 minutes to complete, which isn’t long at all.
The process is fairly straightforward and easy enough to understand. This therapy process uses a device that contains a flat tip. The specialist will place this flat tip along the areas of skin on your face that you wish to improve, and the device will use radiofrequency energy to penetrate its deepest layers. The heating process makes it possible to reactivate the collagen that already exists in your skin, creating visible skin tightening results that are nearly immediate. The treatment also produces more collagen by stimulating its production, providing additional skin improvement with time.
Treatment Expectations for the Body
For treatments targeting other areas of your body, you can expect a slightly longer session. The Thermage treatment timeframe will vary depending on which areas are being treated. On average, a typical therapy session will only last about 90 minutes.
Our expert specialist will use the handheld device, placing the flat tip against your skin. This will create heat from the radiofrequency energy designed to delve into your deepest skin layers. This heating process involves penetrating your existing collagen stores to create additional elasticity. While this is happening, new collagen creation begins and continues over an extended period. Some time needs to pass before you experience the full benefits of this effective process.
What Will I Feel Like During and After Treatment?
The overall process shouldn’t worry you in the least. Even though the radiofrequency energy creates heat, you’ll feel a minimal cooling sensation as the doctor presses the device gently against your skin. It creates this cooling effect to make the radiofrequency process comfortable and worry-free.
After the cooling part of the process, you will then briefly feel heat upon delivery of the radiofrequency energy to the targeted areas. The heat is no cause for concern. This sensation is a normal and expected part of the treatment. It is the heat that will penetrate the deep layers of the skin and create more collagen while stimulating the collagen that already exists there.
Your Best Interests in Mind
Some patients worry that the specialist will overlook their needs during this process, but nothing could be further from the truth. In fact, during the treatment, the specialist will check in with you from time to time to ask how you are feeling. They will ask if the heat is too much to bear and make adjustments when necessary. This is all designed to ensure your safety and comfort throughout the entire process.
