Special Interests

Thermage is a quick and easy procedure that smoothens and tightens the skin, decreasing wrinkles and hooding in the treated area without surgery or injections. Thermage is a single treatment that uses unique, deep-heating technology to stimulate and tighten the existing collagen as well as stimulate new collagen growth in the affected area. The procedure usually takes one to two hours, and leaves the skin tighter and smoother, improving skin tone and texture without leaving any bruising, swelling and sutures.
