Yes, Thermage is designed exactly for tightening loose facial skin. A non-surgical procedure that we offer at Cosmetic Centers of Hawaii, it works on a variety of facial areas as a “face lift” without the need for incisions. Of course, the results are more subtle than a surgical face lift, but for the mild signs of aging, it can be a great way to help you look younger in an understated way.

How does it work?

Thermage is a radiofrequency heat treatment that actually tightens the natural collagen in your skin. Then, it stimulates the production of collagen so that the effects of the treatment are gradual over a period of months after your procedure.

Thermage is the only non-invasive procedure that can tighten loosened skin in one treatment without a laser, injections, or incisions. It’s revolutionary and gives you a rejuvenated look without the need to take even one day off from work.

What parts of the face does Thermage tighten?

• The jaw line – If jowls have begun to form, Thermage can subtly tighten the area, improve the jaw line, and help you to look younger.
• Chin – Thermage can improve that slight double chin that begins to form during the early aging process.
• Neck – The procedure can also tighten the skin of the neck for a more youthful appearance.
• Eyelids – Thermage can provide a subtle non-surgical eyelid lift, improving slight drooping or “hooding” of the upper lids.
• Wrinkles and fine lines – Thermage can help to smooth mild lines around the mouth, forehead, and eyes, including crow’s feet.

Combined treatments are an option

The procedure only takes an hour or two, depending on how many areas you want to treat. If you have excess fat in the neck area or under the chin, liposuction along with Thermage can give you more dramatic results.
