Thermage is FDA approved for tightening loose facial and body skin. The Thermage device received clearance from the FDA in July 2002 and has been available in selected Encino doctors' offices since then.

An appearance on Oprah launched Thermage to household name status several years ago. Thermage is not surgery and requires virtually no downtime, meaning that patients can return to normal activities immediately following the procedure. A handpiece with a smooth, flat tip delivers radiofrequency energy, in the form of heat into the skin, causing immediate tightening of collagen.

Thermage claims that following treatment, new collagen will form over time, resulting in additional tightening and skin that will look smoother and more youthful as the tighter underlying collagen offers better support.

What does Thermage treatment feel like?

When the radiofrequency energy is applied to the skin, you'll feel an intense but brief heating sensation. To keep you comfortable and protect the surface of your skin, a cooling spray is applied before, during and after each application of energy.

Tips for finding the right Encino Thermage provider

1. Laser medicine is generally regulated by Encino state and local authorities. Check your state's guidelines for specifics.

2. If a topical anesthetic is required for treatment, discuss the circumstances under which the cream should be used, and verify whether the use is appropriate in your situation.

3. Verify that your Encino Thermage provider is licensed and trained to provide the procedure.

Do not commit to Thermage with a Encino doctor or plastic surgeon based solely upon advertising, special pricing, or the referral of another patient before fully researching the background of the surgeon.
