Skin laxity or sagging skin is an inevitable process that begins at around the age of 25, sometimes sooner, depending on heredity and lifestyle. During the aging process, every cell in the body slows down and an imbalance at the cell communication level occurs. This imbalance is commonly responsible for the skin's inability to renew itself, the thinning of the dermal layer and the loss of muscle tone. Skin laxity is the usual result.

Large amount of collagen exists in the dermis. Collagen fibers are responsible for maintaining the strength and resilience of skin. As we age, the collagen fibers start to break down and the dermis gets thinner, bringing visible wrinkles and sagging. Another reason for skin laxity is a relatively rapid loss of weight. While the body reduces deeply stored fat/adipose tissue deposits, it cannot as quickly reduce the amount of skin that was required previously. In many non-extreme cases, we can help tighten the skin by rebuilding lost collagen matrix.

So that a skin tightening treatment is to be effective and complete, it must reach and treat all three levels where aging takes place. Also importantly, we realize that skin is different on the face and at various points or parts of the body. Important differences involve thickness, texture & composition. At the Natural AntiAgeing Clinic, we are proud to use the ThermaSkin combining Radio Frequency with Light Therapy for face and the ThermaShape for body. It allows us to target just the right type and amount of energy to the various parts of the face or body to obtain optimal results. The Natural AntiAgeing Clinic has even developed special programs to deal with difficult areas such as hands, arms & necks.

Independent Clinical trials by an Italian University suggest that ThermaSkin's Radio Frequency and LED phototherapy combined are an effective modality for tightening lax skin. The ThermaSkin handpiece delivers energy deep into the dermis. This light causes soft tissue coagulation -- the collagen is "denatured", which leads to a rebuilding & remodeling of the collagen within the dermis and hypodermis. The remodeled collagen fills in wrinkles and sagging, thereby reducing skin laxity. In general, once stimulated, the new collagen may last years, hence the prolonged results with the treatments. Our unique, holistic, integrative aesthetics approach includes treatments to encourage collagen production, complementing this treatment.

What makes ThermaSkin & ThermaShape different from other skin tightening techniques?

Developed through pioneering research in deep heating, with patented approach to delivery, and other proprietary technologies in timing and spectrum, the ThermaSkin handpiece safely delivers more effective heat to greater depths for superior skin tightening -- and in a comfortable way, compared to similar systems. Our system is a safer, progressive, bipolar RF that acts only locally, with no systemic effects. Plus we do not require cooling systems which can act in opposition to the effect we need on the skin. Many have described the feeling of a ThermaSkin treatment as warm and soothing, compared to the heat shock treatment of other RF or Fractional Laser systems..

What should I expect during and after the skin tightening treatment?

You may experience lingering warmth, tightness, or redness in the treated area, which fades within a few minutes of treatment. Generally, you can receive a treatment and go back to work or to other activities without any recovery time.

A series of 5-8 treatments at 3-4 dayintervals may be required to achieve the desired result of smoother, tighter skin in the face, arms, abdomen, and other areas. Results are immediate and progressive. Optimal improvement is usually visible in about 2 to 3 months.
