Rederm’s ThermaLift is a non-invasive radiofrequency (RF) treatment that uses monopolar RF energy to heat the collagen-rich deep layers of the skin, causing collagen to contract and new collagen to grow. This process helps to tighten loose skin, reduce wrinkles, and improve overall skin firmness and definition. It can be used on the face, neck, and other body parts, and is considered a safe alternative to surgery for mild skin laxity.
How It Works?
Collagen Contraction: The radiofrequency energy instantly heats the dermis to a specific temperature, causing existing collagen proteins to contract and tighten.
Collagen Stimulation: The controlled heat also stimulates the production of new collagen, which provides structural support and helps maintain skin firmness and definition.
Non-Ablative: Thermage is non-ablative, meaning it heats the deeper layers of the skin without damaging the epidermis (the outer surface), which results in minimal to no downtime.
Benefits
Non-Surgical: It’s a nonsurgical alternative to surgery, avoiding the risks and downtime associated with more invasive procedures.
Minimal Downtime: Patients typically experience only mild redness or swelling, and can see some immediate, though subtle, results.
Progressive Results: While there’s an initial tightening, the full effects of new collagen production can continue to develop and improve over several months.
