The post Unlocking Youthful Skin with Thermage FLX: The Ultimate Non-Surgical Facelift appeared first on Palo Alto Laser & Skin Care.

Thermage technology isn’t new, but the “FLX” aspect of it is. Years ago, we knew that Thermage was highly effective in tightening skin without the use of needles or the need for downtime, but it was also very uncomfortable and painful. FLX fixed all that, making it much more tolerable and, in turn, accessible to more clients. A numbing agent is applied 45 minutes prior to the appointment to further optimize comfort. Since, “Will it hurt?” is one of the first questions asked during consults, we want to make sure clients know that the latest Thermage FLX tech is more comfortable than ever.

How Thermage FLX Works

Thermage FLX induces collagen production to reduce lines and wrinkles anywhere on the face or body. It first debuted 20 years ago, and today we have the fourth generation of this technology. On average, results last about 12 months and you can always return for future treatments. However, given how long it lasts, Thermage FLX is considered a one and done treatment suitable for men and women of all ages. However, since it is a skin tightening treatment and not preventative, most people who consider Thermage FLX are in their 30s or 40s. It can even be a great way to delay or avoid invasive procedures like a facelift. Celebrities like Jennifer Anniston, who are committed to going non-surgical, rave about Thermage FLX results.

Just one treatment gives you smoother, tighter skin and results can continue to improve for up to six months. In some cases, results even last for years (everyone is different). Since collagen induction takes time, full results aren’t immediate but you will notice some improvement within one month of your treatment.

What to Expect with Thermage FLX

At the start of your appointment, before photos are taken, a numbing agent is applied, and the skin is cleansed. Next, a grid-like pattern is placed on the treatment site similar to a temporary tattoo. This is used to guide the provider during your session. The face and lower jawline, typical treatment sites, take about 90 minutes and includes around 900 pulses. Thermage FLX releases radiofrequency (RF) energy that heats up the deeper layers of the skin where collagen is produced—without actually harming the top layer of the skin. That heat makes the existing collagen contract, stimulates new collagen growth, and kick-starts the body’s natural healing process. Technically, Thermage FLX turns back the clock from the inside out using the healing powers of your own body.

A gel is applied during the actual treatment. With every pulse, there is a cooling sensation that follows for optimal comfort. Your provider will work with you, asking for feedback throughout the session. After the treatment, you may add on a facial or other soothing treatment to finish off. Skin might be a little pink (or not), but this is truly a no-downtime procedure so any signs of treatment will be brief and mild. You might notice right away that your skin seems a little tighter, smoother, and that the jawline is more pronounced (if you treat this area).

Thermage FLX is a proven method for reversing the signs of aging without any recovery period or risks associated with surgery. Summer is also a great time to have it done because it does not make the skin more sensitive to UV rays (though you should still have a good sunscreen regimen in order to safeguard the skin and prevent additional UV damage). It can fit into a busy schedule and you’ll start to see serious results by the end of summer.

Thermage FLX works by emitting radiofrequency (RF) energy, which then stimulates collagen production below the skin’s surface. RF heats up the deep layer of the skin, which contracts existing collagen and tells the body to start producing more in that area. Thermage FLX was originally touted as the must-have neck lift alternative, but you can actually use it anywhere on the body where skin needs to be tightened. The length of the appointment depends on the area(s) being treated and includes about 45 minutes for a topical numbing cream to be fully effective.

Where to Get Thermage FLX

The face and neck remain two of the most popular places for this procedure, but many clients opt for treating their stomach, arms, buttocks, legs, chest, and knees. In some cases, skin might look a bit pink right after the treatment but this goes away within a few hours. Most people feel confident getting back to their day immmediately. In the days following Thermage FLX, the treatment area might feel a bit bruised or numb, though there should be no visible signs of these temporary side effects.

It’s important to remember that results from Thermage FLX take time. It can take up to six months to see full results, although you’ll start to see some improvement in about one month. Given the slow and steady process, taking before and progress photos is essential. We recommend taking a photo of the treatment site at the same location and the same time of day every week. This will help you see exactly how the collagen is forming.

Skin Tightening Options

Thermage FLX is typically preferred by those with more advanced sagging and laxity but who do not want a surgical intervention. It can replace a surgical lift in milder cases or delay one for many years. There are other skin tightening options available, and in some cases they are quite complementary to Thermage FLX. For example, getting routine microneedling, Morpheus8, or chemical peels can further help to kick-start collagen production and also provide a host of other benefits.

If you’ve had the original Thermage treatment, you know how effective it is—and it might be time for a maintenance touch-up. Thermage FLX uses a larger tip that covers a bigger area and reduces treatment time by 25 percent. Thermage technology is suitable for men and women of all ages and with any skin tone and type. There are few contraindications for this skin tightening treatment, and any questions can be answered during your complimentary consultation.

Turn Back the Clock

Skin laxity is often one of the earliest signs of aging. If you notice crepe-like skin or sagging, it might be time for an intervention. At the same time, you can tackle other signs of aging like lines and creases with injectables like Botox and fillers. We recommend a holistic, comprehensive approach to anti-aging and confidence-boosting so you can get the best, longest-lasting results.

At our medical day spa, you have a variety of non-invasive and minimally-invasive procedures to choose from including injectables, peels, dermaplaning, body contouring like CoolSculpting and Emsculpt, and much more. A customized treatment package that includes a variety of procedures can help you get better skin by the end of summer. Start your Thermage FLX journey today.

Thermage FLX is the easier, faster monopolar radiofrequency (RF) device that is FDA-cleared to be used on both the face and body. This includes the eyelids, a delicate area that not all technologies can treat. In most cases, clients need just one treatment to achieve optimal results, with maintenance sessions recommended every 1 – 2 years. The Cosmetic Bootcamp (CBC) was one of the first to report (in 2018) about how well Thermage FLX works in just one treatment. According to the report, it’s the “treatment that everybody is doing, but many don’t talk about it.” Ultimately, Thermage FLX just isn’t covered in the media as often as other procedures, such as CoolSculpting, so it’s not a household name—yet.

Benefits of Thermage FLX

When it comes to Thermage FLX and the media, another reason it may not be as well-covered is because of the advancements. Years ago, the original Thermage (less the “FLX”) was considered intolerable by some clients. Plus, it was “overly promoted” according to the report. However, it was also the first capacitively coupled RF, monopolar device that was approved by the FDA for a non-invasive treatment of facial and body wrinkles (as well as a temporary improvement in the appearance of cellulite). It is also the only RF tech that is a single-treatment approach featured in peer-reviewed studies with long-term results. There are a few other technologies that also boast one treatment, but they are not RF-based—and radiofrequency is a proven method of collagen induction therapy.

It is also the first to hold a patent for healing dermal tissue via cross-polarization. According to the report, “It also has a reverse thermal treatment gradient, so the RF energy is delivered uniformly over the tip.” This lets your provider use a stamping technique instead of a solid, linear motion, which improves comfort while ensuring uniform application. The reverse thermal gradient is how heat is delivered to the subcutaneous level while making sure the skin surface stays cool. Bipolar RF was the original approach, but monopolarity also allows the energy to go deeper, improving results.

A History of Heating Things Up

The multi-pass NXT protocol is what paved the way for making Thermage treatment more tolerable in 2007. However, the real change came when vibration was added in 2009. “This is the gated theory of pain,” explains the author. “Just as the dentist grabs your mouth before injecting the needle, the first thing patients feel is vibration, then RF.” The Faster Algorithm Experience, or FLX, features automatic calibration in the latest generation. Your provider doesn’t need to do any “tuning” of the handpiece. You’re automatically set up for a more comfortable experience.

Today, Thermage FLX treatments are 33 percent shorter than the original Thermage. On average, a face and neck treatment takes 60 minutes. Most patients do not require medication prior to their treatment to address discomfort, but a numbing agent is applied to the skin for the best experience. Some mild redness may linger for up to 24 hours after your treatment, but there is no post-treatment discomfort and you can immediately get back to your day. A lot of patients experience no redness at all.

Is Thermage FLX for You?

According to the report, it’s important to keep in mind that Thermage FLX is not a facelift. One doctor says, “The first question I ask is, are you considering anything surgical?” Most people seeking out Thermage FLX already know they either don’t want surgery (at all) or aren’t ready for it. Typically, Thermage FLX coupled with other procedures like Botox and/or dermal fillers can be a fantastic way to dramatically turn back the clock without any surgical interventions. However, if you are interested in Botox or fillers, it’s often recommended to wait at least two months after Thermage FLX for injectables. This is also when you will start seeing real results from the treatment.

The post Thermage FLX Called a “Single Session Standout” in Dermatology Times appeared first on Palo Alto Laser & Skin Care.

Research has found that tech attachment is starting at younger and younger ages, and this is starting to show in our skin. In fact, one report shows the average American spends 5.9 hours each day with digital media engagement. Furthermore, it estimated that we check our phones 46 times every day, and that figure is double for young people aged 18 – 24. When we are always bending our necks downward, we increase our chance of getting more wrinkles earlier. Those under the age of 35 are especially prone to early aging in this area, but there are solutions available.

Step 1: Thermage FLX

Using radio-frequency, the mechanism behind Thermage FLX, can be your first best step in tech neck treatment. Applying this energy below the skin signals the body to produce more collagen, which is the body’s fountain of youth. Unfortunately, collagen production decreases with age but thanks to technologies like Themarge FLX, we can tell the body to produce more in the areas that need it most. The result is younger-looking skin and less visible or complete elimination of lines and wrinkles.

Your exact Thermage FLX protocol will vary based on your needs. However, results from this treatment last for years and it is possible to enjoy results without needing a maintenance session. The experience can be uncomfortable for some, which is why a topical numbing agent can be applied 45 minutes prior to your treatment. With this topical, clients describe the process as tolerable. One of the biggest perks of Thermage FLX is that for many it is a one-and-done treatment with results that last several years. However, since it works from the inside out, results are not immediate. You may start to notice an improvement in tech neck signs after one month of your Thermage FLX treatment, but full results take 3–6 months.

Step 2: Botox

The second step in the recommended regimen is a neurotoxin injection, like Botox. This will relax the platysma muscles that cause the appearance of banding. Everyone is different, but on average 40 – 60 units are typically injected in a zig-zag pattern around this area of the neck. The neuromodulator most typically used for this is Botox, but there are also options like Dysport. On average, results from Botox injections last 3 – 6 months. It is considered minimally invasive due to the requirement of needles.

Step 3: Dermal Fillers

Finally, the third step is a hyaluronic acid (HA) filler as the finishing touch. There are many HA fillers to choose from, and your injector will recommend the best one for you. It is injected into the horizontal neck rhytids in order to fill in lines and smooth out the neck. A microdroplet technique is recommended along the horizontal lines. Most clients require two syringes of HA filler. Ultra-fine needles can help to further minimize bruising and optimize patient comfort.

Getting Results You’ll Love

When it comes to minimally invasive treatments, like Botox and fillers, injector skill is paramount. Even though the results of Botox and fillers are temporary, typically lasting a few months, you deserve to have results that you will love during that period. Only trust a reputable and well-trained injector, such as those at our clinic, for all of your Botox and filler needs.

At Palo Alto Laser and Skin Care, we are committed to helping you achieve a look you’ll love. If you have tech neck or any unwanted lines and wrinkles, let’s collaborate to create a customized treatment plan just for you.

The post Using Thermage FLX to treat Signs of “Tech Neck” appeared first on Palo Alto Laser & Skin Care.

The vast majority of clients require just one treatment for skin that is smoother and tighter. Some results are immediate, although they continue to improve for six months. You’re probably wondering how long results last, but that varies person to person. Many clients get treatments annually but some others report results that lasts for years. If you’re not ready for more aggressive options like surgery but want to seriously turn back the clock, Thermage FLX might be for you.

What to Expect with Thermage FLX

No matter what part of the body or face you’re treating, the appointment begins with cleansing the skin and taking some before photos. If you’ve had Thermage before, but not Thermage FLX, know that the addition of a cooling tip and vibration makes the session even more comfortable. Your provider will go over the basics of the tools with you. Next, a temporary “grid” is applied to the skin to guide your provider followed by a gel. Treatment times vary based on the size of the site, but 90+ minutes is average.

Thermage FLX works by heating up the collagen in the skin with radiofrequency energy. Heat makes collagen contract while stimulating new collagen production. After all, collagen is a natural body-healing response. Hundreds of pulses are delivered during the treatment, each followed by a cooling sensation. The alternation of heat and cooling makes for a tolerable experience.

Thermage Post-Treatment Care

Right after your treatment, a soothing product may be applied (depending on treatment site). This is prime time to apply some topicals because, since heating up the skin prepares it to absorb the ingredients. Hyaluronic acid is a popular choice for post-Thermage FLX care. You might notice that the skin is a little pink, but it will go away quickly. No downtime is necessary and most people go back to work or other usual tasks after getting Thermage FLX.

This treatment is suitable for men and women of any age who want an effective and non-invasive skin tightening solution. Although there’s no minimum or maximum age for treatment, it’s a good idea to start Thermage FLX when you first start noticing signs of skin sagging or laxity. Our collagen begins to decline in our late 20s but can be exacerbated by sun damage, diet, and a myriad of other factors. A great perk of Thermage FLX is that, unlike some other treatments that address laxity, it doesn’t cause sun sensitivity and therefore can be undertaken at any time of the year.

Scheduling Your Thermage FLX Session

Think Thermage FLX is for you? Find out during a complimentary consultation with one of our skin care experts. There are different ways to tackle skin laxity and sagging, with this option being just one of them. There’s also microneedling and chemical peels. Combining treatments can be a great way to maximize and sustain your results—even though Thermage FLX already lasts for 1+ year on most clients.

It’s important to remember that skin laxity has many causes, but one of the primary issues is decreased collagen production. By addressing this issue from the inside out, you’re relying on the healing powers of your own body to reduce lines, wrinkles, and sagging. However, all collagen, whether produced naturally or stimulated with a treatment, will eventually dissolve. Making a commitment to stimulate collagen production with routine treatments is the best way to love the skin you’re in.

Hello! also recommends dermal fillers for the backs of the hands. Not only does skin become lax with age, but we also lose good fat in this area. This can result in hands that are veiny or witch-like. By combining Thermage with dermal fillers, you can seriously turn back the clock on an area that is problematic for many (especially women). If you have hyperpigmentation on the backs of the hands, laser skin rejuvenation, Morpheus8, or a chemical peel can help to get rid of these unwanted signs of aging.

What to Expect When You Heat Things Up

Radiofrequency can be used to heat up the deep layers of the skin where collagen develops. The tip of the device helps keep the skin surface cool so you stay comfortable. As the heat is delivered, water molecules are separated from the collagen. This causes an instant contraction, which eventually will turn into skin tightening. Our bodies produce a lot of collagen when we are young, but this production slows down year after year. Fortunately, with treatments like Thermage, we can gain control of collagen production and tell our bodies exactly where to produce it.

Thermage is gentle enough that it can even be used on the upper and lower eyelids, which makes it a popular alternative to eyelid lifts. According to the makers of Thermage, it works 25 percent faster than comparable treatments and it is one of the more comfortable options thanks to its built-in cooling technology. There is no need for your provider to change handpieces (which is the norm with other technologies), ensuring a consistent treatment throughout. Over 50 clinical studies and two million treatments around the globe have shown just how safe and effective Thermage is—the before and after photos speak for themselves.

Why Get Thermage Now

Good things take time. No collagen therapy is immediate, but if you start Thermage right now you’ll be able to showcase the new you just in time for the summer break. You will start to see improvements about one month after your treatment, and for many Thermage is a one and done procedure for several months (though in some cases, patients get best results with two initial treatments). It’s the perfect time of year to opt for Thermage, because it can let you start a New Year with a new you and make 2023 the best year yet.

Thermage is safe and effective on all skin tones and types. Unlike some lasers, there is no risk of hypopigmentation and therefore those with melanin-rich skin can take advantage of what it offers. It also works well with other treatments, making it a popular part of a hybrid, customized package. Quick and easy to fit into even the busiest schedule, you still have time to get your Thermage before the end of the year. We have a few slots still left on our calendar, so act fast.

The post Hello! Names Thermage FLX as Best Option for Hand Laxity appeared first on Palo Alto Laser & Skin Care.

Taking an over-the-counter painkiller, like Advil, is permissible before Thermage FLX. Additionally, a topical numbing cream is applied. With these measures, most clients describe the feeling as being like a burning or prickling sensation. Additionally, the passes Thermage FLX requires are fast, so any sensations are quick. The best candidates in these surveys were considered to be those in their 40s. The degree of skin thickness was determined to be the most important factor in responsiveness. On average, treatments were to be repeated every year to sustain results.

Anti-Aging Procedures that are Hot Right Now

These researchers undertook a similar survey in 2017 and found that complication rates were even lower (and they were already quite low five years ago). They credit this to better energy delivery, which has led to a gentler treatment. Skin tightening treatments that require no needles, surgery, or downtime have understandably skyrocketed in popularity in recent years. Who wouldn’t want to improve their skin laxity without downtime and surgical risks?

Thermage FLX is a celebrity favorite, with Gwyneth Paltrow and Jennifer Anniston being very open about their love for the treatment. Their adoration is backed up by this survey, which was comprised of 23 questions for dermatologists with over a year of experience with Thermage FLX. Specifically, those who attended the yearly Thermageuser meeting in 2019 were asked about their thoughts on the latest Thermage technology. Thermage FLX is the latest generation, and according to the authors of the survey, it offers significant improvements compared to older models. So, if you’ve tried earlier models, it might be time for an upgrade.

What to Expect with Thermage FLX

There is virtually no preparation for this treatment, though you should avoid tanning and exfoliation before and after your treatment. On the day of your appointment, your skin will be cleansed and a numbing cream applied. Thermage FLX can be used just about anywhere you want to tighten skin, including delicate areas like around the eyes. Immediately after the treatment, your skin might appear flushed (but not necessarily). Some tingling and numbness might temporarily occur, but this should not interfere with your daily life. Most people go back to work or running errands after their treatment.

Called a surgical alternative, the results from Thermage FLX are dramatic and yet natural—literally, because it’s a collagen induction treatment that works from the inside out. This also means the results won’t be seen right away. On average, you will see full results in 3 – 6 months. It is a very effective tool for tightening and lifting the skin and can delay a facelift for several years.

Thermage for Autumn

Since avoiding the sun before and after the treatment is necessary, autumn and winter are the perfect time for Thermage FLX and many other treatments. Start your Thermage FLX regimen now and you’ll have gorgeous results by the winter holiday parties and full results by spring. You can also pair Thermage FLX with other skin-improving treatments like microneedling, laser skin rejuvenation, and chemical peels, though not during the same appointment. Instead, Thermage FLX can be part of your in-office treatment plan.

Find out more about your options for addressing skin laxity and other concerns during a consultation. Thermage FLX has no restrictions on age or skin tone, though you may need to stop certain topicals (under the guidance of your doctor) before being a good candidate.

Thermage FLX for skin tightening.

Many people think getting that “summer body” means fat reduction and perhaps muscle toning. However, anyone who has lost weight knows that skin laxity is a common problem. For years, the only way to fix loose skin was with surgery, but now there is Thermage FLX. This non-invasive treatment can be used virtually anywhere on the face and body, working via collagen induction therapy from the inside out. Most clients require just one treatment for maximum results and there is no pain, needles, or downtime. If you’re ready to get tight and right for autumn, this is the treatment for you.

CoolSculpting for targeted body sculpting.

CoolSculpting is the original non-invasive body sculpting treatment that really works. The treatment has been around for decades, but is always improving. Today, you can “freeze away fat” just about everywhere you want, from popular larger areas like the stomach and flanks to small areas such as below the chin. CoolSculpting targets small areas of unwanted fat and externally treats the area with precise chilly temperatures. This “kills” the fat cells, which the body naturally absorbs and expels in the months following the treatment. Most patients need 4 – 6 cycles per site for the best results. Initial results start to show about one month after the first cycle, with full results six months later.

Emsculpt for muscle toning and building.

One of the most challenging parts of getting fit is building strong, toned muscles. Emsculpt gives you leverage with a non-invasive treatment that forces targeted muscles into 20,000 supramaximal contractions in just 30 minutes per treatment site. These types of contractions are identical to what your muscles do when “strained” during weight lifting or other such activities. It isn’t a replacement for strength training, but complements it. Emsculpt can help you bust through plateaus, take your fitness to the next level, or establish a healthy foundation for those starting or restarting strength training. Most clients need 4 – 6 initial sessions spaced about 30 days apart, with a maintenance sessions scheduled every six months.

Lasers for serious skin rejuvenation.

We are home to one of the largest laser suites in the area, ranging from gentle options like Clear + Brilliant (a favorite for pre-juvenation) to more aggressive lasers like CO2. Whether you want to undo sun damage, minimize lines and wrinkle, improve laxity, get rid of unwanted tattoos or hair, or simply make your skin as clear, youthful, and radiant as possible, we have the right laser for you. Many of our lasers are suitable for all skin tones and types, such as the Halo laser and broadband light (BBL) therapy. Mixing and matching lasers can also be a great approach for many clients.

Thermage FLX

The right treatment—or treatments—for loose skin depends on severity, location, and cause. One of the best treatments for loose skin is Thermage FLX, which uses radiofrequency (RF) to heat the deep layers of tissue below the skin’s surface as a form of collagen induction therapy while leaving the top layer intact. Results are astonishing and typically just one treatment per site is needed for results that last up to two years. One of the best perks about Thermage FLX is that it can be used on larger areas such as the stomach. The outcome is so impressive that many clients find it an excellent alternative to more aggressive, invasive procedures such as cosmetic surgery.

While Thermage FLX is a popular solution for treating loose skin in many areas, it’s not the only option—especially if you’re concerned about small and precise areas like around the eyes.

Fillers and Botox for Skin “Tightening”

Sometimes “loose skin” is actually areas of hollowness, particularly in the face. As we get older, we lose not only collagen but also volume. You might notice a hollowness in the cheeks, under the eyes, and of course in the lips. Simply “tightening” the skin through a method like Thermage FLX isn’t going to give you the results you want because what’s needed is a restoration of volume. That’s where dermal fillers and boosters come in.

Dermal fillers are typically made of synthetic hyaluronic acid (HA) and literally “fill” the areas where volume is missing. Results are instantaneous, though some redness, swelling, and bruising may be visible for a few days. HA fillers can last anywhere from 6 – 18 months, depending on the treatment site, units, and type of fillers. “Boosters” are a filler that is not made with HA and depends on collagen induction. It’s a subtler, slower approach that may be desired by some clients in some areas (such as the tops of the hands).

Botox and other neuromodulators can also help in some areas where “skin tightening” is required. These injectables stop wrinkles and lines in their tracks by temporarily paralyzing the muscles that cause them. Skin might not be necessarily “loose,” but rather muscles may have fallen into the habit of creating wrinkles—and in turn the appearance of loose skin.

Laser Skin Rejuvenation

You can also tone and tighten skin while improving texture with laser skin treatments. We have a wide range of lasers and energy-based therapies available, many of which are touted with the ability to reduce lines and wrinkles while tightening the skin. Lasers work in different ways, but all “tell” the body to produce more collagen at the needed site. Collagen is our body’s natural fountain of youth and a necessity for treating “loose” skin.

Of course, there is a point where surgery may be necessary to get the results you want. However, for many clients, that is actually farther down the road than they think. Many times, you can achieve incredible results with non-invasive and minimally-invasive treatments and procedures. We can work together to establish your goals, consider your current skin condition, and create a realistic plan to help you love the skin you’re in. A combination of treatments is often best to help you get the look that you want quickly and safely.

More than a medical day spa, staff members are personally trained and supervised by Zuzana Likar to the highest of standards. We offer complimentary consultations on all treatments so you know you’re getting the best expert care for the most outstanding results.
