THERMAGE®

Bristol Plastic Surgery offers The Thermage® Tissue Tightening and Contouring Procedure made possible by our recently acquired ThermaCool™ system, a new radiofrequency-based device designed to tighten tissue and improve the appearance of skin around the face and neck. This sophisticated new medical treatment device is only available from selected physicians who have acquired the machine. We are currently the only practice certified to use the Thermage procedure in the South West of England.

The Thermage procedure tightens tissue by delivering radiofrequency energy through the skin, heating the deep skin layers underneath while protecting the skin surface with a cooling action. The procedure is intended to cause immediate collagen contraction followed by new collagen production and continued tightening over time. Patients treated in clinical studies continue to show improvement at least six months after treatment.

The Thermage procedure requires no recovery time, so you can return to normal activities the very same day of your treatment. Best of all, there are no needles or scalpels, and few reports of damage to the skin surface. Since the Thermage procedure works by tightening deeper skin tissue, it can complement other procedures that treat the upper layers of your skin.

The Thermage website can tell you more about the Thermage procedure including “before” and “after” photographs.
