![]() ![]() Bruising and pain are very uncommon and there is essentially no ‘down time’ following Thermage. Some patients experience mild redness after treatment but this disappears within hours. Results can be seen immediately in some cases but skin tightening continues to occur for approximately six months, which is when optimal results are seen. Maximum results are attained by repeating Thermage every 2-3 years. The procedure visit requires approximately one hour, or 35 minutes with Thermage FLX, and usually only one treatment is necessary. Generally, patients feel a gentle, warm sensation when this device is applied to the surface of the skin. Our physicians have developed techniques that make Thermage almost pain free. SkinCare Physicians is one of the first two practices in the United States to have this exciting new cutting-edge technology. Most recently, Thermage has become even better with the introduction of the brand new Thermage FLX machine. In fact, our doctors have discovered many of the Thermage advances now used around the world. Since approaches to treatment and technology are evolving rapidly, SkinCare Physicians is uniquely positioned to allow our patients to quickly take advantage of these advancements. This is what we believe separates SkinCare Physicians from other practices that perform Thermage. Thermage is a very operator-dependent procedure and it is essential for patients to be treated with the most up-to-date techniques to achieve maximal results. Meet Our Physicians Services We Offer Thermage and Thermage FLX SkinCare Physicians has been integral to the development of skin tightening technology, and our physicians have invented and helped teach the most up-to-date techniques used for these procedures. ![]() Infini can also be used to improve acne scarring. ![]() Infini is especially beneficial for jawline, cheek and neck laxity.Pellevé is specifically designed for fine lines and crow’s feet around the eyes, and our physicians have also discovered its usefulness for wrinkles of the upper and lower lips.Thermage is most helpful for skin tightening at the cheeks, jawline, and upper neck, but can be used safely and effectively on the forehead, the eyebrow, as well as the arms, legs and abdomen.Most importantly, they all allow patients to gain skin tightening while avoiding invasive surgical procedures. While some patients notice improvement immediately, all of these devices will lead to continued improvement over a 4-6 month period. New collagen is produced which then leads to tightening of loose skin. Thermage, Pellevé and Infini all utilize the concept that when collagen is heated uniformly and intensely by radiofrequency, it undergoes contraction and induces a healing response. The most useful procedures for skin tightening are based on delivery of radiofrequency energy. SkinCare Physicians is at the cutting edge of non-surgical skin tightening, offering several options to dramatically improve the appearance of loose skin without surgery. Jowls, excess skin at the jawline, and crepe-like skin of the neck can give the appearance of aging.

Until the skin returns to normal, strict sun avoidance is recommended. Each treatment should be planned when you have some downtime to recover as mild crusting, redness, and edema (swelling) are common for 1-5 days following. Most patients will see maximum benefit from RF Microneedling through a series of 2-4 treatments spaced 4-6 weeks apart. We are proud to offer two cutting edge RF Microneedling technologies at Modern Dermatology – Lutronic’s Genius and Cynosure Potenza’s new “Fusion Tip,” which uniquely enhances the penetration of topicals into the skin by 67% for maximum results. This produces a series of tiny punctures on the skin's surface allowing the radio-frequency energy to reach deeper layers of the skin stimulating collagen and elastin production. The treatment is commonly used on the face and neck however, it can be used elsewhere on the body such as the abdomen, arms and knees to improve the appearance of scars, skin texture and laxity.ĭuring the microneedling part of the treatment, ultrafine needles create controlled injury to the skin at a consistent depth. Microneedling with Radiofrequency or more commonly referred to as “RF Microneedling” combines the benefits of microneedling with those of radiofrequency (RF) energy to enhance skin texture and firmness by stimulating regeneration of collagen and elastin.
