As we age, our skin naturally loses its firmness, and we may start to see new wrinkles and even sagging skin. If you have noticed these changes but are not ready for surgery, the Thermage® FLX System could be what you’re looking for. This non-invasive treatment uses radiofrequency energy to tighten skin without needing any downtime.
At Farrell Plastic Surgery & Laser Center in Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania, Dr. Deborah Farrell is a specialist in Laser and Cosmetic Medicine. She and her team provide Thermage® treatments to help our patients look younger. So, where exactly on your body can you use this treatment?
Where Can Thermage® Improve Skin Firmness?
Here are some of the most common areas we address with Thermage® radiofrequency treatment at Farrell Plastic Surgery & Laser Center:
Face and Neck
The face and neck are some of the most common treatment areas for Thermage®. Thermage® can help lift and tighten the jawline, smooth laugh lines and wrinkles, and firm loose skin on the neck. Many patients choose this treatment for a subtle lift without surgery.
Eyes
Blinking, squinting, and rubbing the eyes cause the thin skin around them to stretch and crease over time. Gravity also plays a role in pulling down the upper eyelids and making the eyes look tired. Thermage® can help tighten the skin without affecting movement, making it a great option for those who want to refresh their eye area without changing its natural shape.
Abdomen
The skin on the stomach expands and contracts with weight changes and pregnancy, which can weaken collagen fibers and leave the area looser over time. Thermage® is a good option for those who want firmer skin on their tummies without surgery.
Arms
The upper arms lose firmness as collagen production slows. This is especially noticeable when lifting the arms and can make you feel self-conscious about wearing sleeveless clothing. While exercise can strengthen muscles underneath, it does not tighten the skin. Thermage® radiofrequency stimulates collagen to tighten up this skin.
Lower Body: Thighs, Buttocks, and Knees
The skin on our thighs, buttocks, and knees tends to lose elasticity and develop a crepey texture. Many patients use Thermage® to address mild laxity on the inner and outer thighs, add firmness to the buttocks, and tighten the skin above the knees. We bet you’ll feel a lot better in shorts, skirts, and swimsuits after your treatment!
