In Orange County, Thermage is a new, light-based technology using radio frequency waves that treat aging skin.
Not too long ago, when a person complained of sagging facial skin and many wrinkles, the surgeon made an incision, pulled up the underlying muscles and skin to make them tighter, trimmed the excess tissues, stitched it all back in place and sent the groggy patient home to recover for weeks.
The patient was woozy because she had been put to sleep under general anesthesia. But now, Patient Preferred Dermatology, Orange County Thermage specialists, can give you a more youthful appearance using Thermage, a special form of radio frequency that delivers heat and focused energy deep into and under the skin.
Orange County skin care patients with all types of skin, from very light to very dark, can have Thermage in Orange County because the technology does not affect skin pigment. Moreover, Thermage is the only F.D.A. approved, non-invasive device for tightening loose skin in the United States.
Depending on the area to be treated, Thermage in Orange County can take a few minutes to an hour to complete. So you can immediately return to your normal activities, although some patients show a little redness on their skin just after treatment.
