Your Secret to Perfect Summer Body

Most people get happy when the days get longer and the weather gets nicer, but summertime might make others nervous. After all, as the temperature soars and humidity gets unbearable, it gets harder to hide the problem areas of your body under layers of clothing. 

Sagging, wrinkled skin, and cellulite can shoot one’s confidence down, especially during Summer when the clothes get thinner and shorter. One could always consider surgery to get rid of these concerns, but going under the knife comes with its own set of challenges and a hefty downtime which can hamper your plans of enjoying your summer adventures. 

Fortunately, skincare gods are sympathetic, and advanced 21st-century technology has made it possible for you to address your sagging skin and cellulite through safe, minimally-invasive procedures such as Thermage.

If you have been dieting for the onset of summer or have a post-pregnancy tummy riddled with stretch marks and loose skin, It can be the perfect option for you to tone up your body and step out on the beach with your confidence high. Thermage can tighten, firm, and shape the skin on your abdomen, thighs, arms, and glutes. It can restore the firmness of post-pregnancy crepey skin, improve cellulite dimples, and smoothen your skin texture by providing long-lasting results. 

What is Thermage?

Thermage is a skin tightening and lifting treatment that has become a fan favorite of celebrities like Jennifer Aniston and Gwenyth Paltrow. This procedure uses non-invasive radiofrequency energy to tighten and re-contour your skin without any surgery or downtime. By heating the deep collagen-rich layers of your skin, it encourages your body to produce new collagen fibers which give the skin a firm and supple look.

 

This treatment also remodels your existing collagen stores to improve your skin elasticity while smoothing out the effects of sagging and wrinkles. It is an excellent treatment for people who wish to lift, tighten, and shape up their physique. Most people see satisfying results of this treatment within six months – which is excellent for a one-time procedure that lasts only about an hour and requires no downtime at all. 

How does Thermage work?

Thermage works by sending radiofrequency energy deep into the skin where it affects the collagen reserves beneath the surface. During this process, a special machine is used to heat the collagen fibers within the skin. Once the heat from the machine reaches your underlying tissues, it causes the existing collagen to tighten up and also encourages your skin to create new collagen fibers. Meanwhile, the surface of the skin is constantly cooled to ensure a comfortable experience. 

Collagen is one of the most crucial elements that gives our skin the coveted supple and youthful appearance. This protein is the main component of your cartilage, ligaments, and tendons, and is responsible for skin strength and elasticity. Aging, lifestyle factors, pregnancy, etc. can result in the deterioration of collagen fibers, leading to skin sagging and wrinkle formation. According to the clinical research done by Michael H. Gold, MD, Thermage might also deliver an immediate skin-tightening benefit. 

Though some clients experience immediate improvement after a Thermage procedure, most patients experience a gradual, progressive improvement over 1-6 months. In fact, 80-90% of patients experience measurable and noticeable effects at the 6-month mark. The results of a single treatment can last up to 2 years. In some cases, they last even longer!

How can Thermage give you the Perfect Summer Body?

• It can tighten and smooth out Saggy Skin
  From feeling self-conscious in swimsuits to avoiding sleeveless tops, sagging skin can dampen your confidence and steal the joy from your summer escapades. Summer is not just about appearance– it’s about feeling comfortable and confident in your skin. Thermage uses radiofrequency (RF) energy to deliver heat to the deeper layers of skin. Simultaneously, it also delivers a blast of cold to keep the surface of your skin cool. 

  This ‘volumetric heat’ that is delivered to the skin works its magic on your old collagen fibers that have grown lax and saggy over the years and contract them to give a more tightened look. Volumetric heat means measured, consistent, and targeted heating. This causes your aging collagen fibers to contract, giving an immediate lift. Thermage can be a game-changer in restoring your confidence and allowing you to embrace the sunshine-filled days with open arms. 

• Stimulate the Growth of New Collagen
  With summer just around the corner, it’s time to turn up the heat on your confidence. But for some fabulous ladies, wrinkles and post-pregnancy tummy blues can make rocking that swimsuit feel more like a chore than a thrill. This is where Thermage can step in and sprinkle a heavy dose of confidence into your summer plans.
  While the immediate results of this treatment are quite amazing. The true magic of this procedure can be seen over the following three months. Our bodies stop producing new collagen around the age of 26. Beyond 26, the collagen fibers start deteriorating which leads to our skin getting saggy and wrinkled. Collagen stimulation is the main goal of Thermage. This new collagen further tightens and smooths your skin over the course of the next 3-6 months. 
• Give you the perfect Summer Body
  Thermage is an extremely versatile treatment that can be used on both face and body where loose skin and sagging cause concerns. It is the ultimate secret weapon for achieving that beach-ready body, especially if the post-baby tummy or other areas with loose skin have been making you feel a bit self-conscious. Thermage on the abdomen can help tighten the skin and improve skin elasticity. Arms, knees, hands, and glutes also respond well to this treatment. With Thermage, you can say goodbye to those pesky problem areas and get ready to shine under the summer sun like never before.
