Rejuvenation and Resurfacing: Thermage®

You’ve seen advertisements for “non-surgical facelifts.” Wendy — who is a stubborn purist regarding honesty and accuracy — will tell you that, in our current world, there is no way to produce a dramatic lift without the surgeon’s scalpel. In a facelift, the surgeon tightens the muscles beneath the surface, and the skin simply “goes along for the ride.”

In contrast, Thermage®, an exciting new non-invasive treatment, now makes it possible to produce a gentle but definite, visible lift by working at the level of the skin. By firming, tightening, and smoothing your face and neck, this treatment restores years to your appearance.

Thermage is a one-time treatment that takes less than an hour, let’s you return to your normal activities immediately, is comfortable to undergo, and has zero painful aftermath. Yet, Thermage can produce visible changes. As is so often the case, Wendy’s office was one of the first to offer this treatment in the Bay Area: Wendy has now performed Thermage on a long series of patients who have varying skin types and needs.

Thermage is based on radio-frequency (RF) technology proven safe and effective in years of medical use, and validated as an effective rejuvenation tool. Wendy uses a wand to deliver custom-tailored RF pulses to the treatment area. The wand tip cools the surface of your skin while initiating collagen contraction and stimulation in the deep layers. The surface of your skin is not harmed, disrupted, abraded, or burnt. Most women experience immediate tightening and firming. Best of all, your body continues to respond to the treatment for months; your skin becomes increasingly resilient and youthful as you lay down new collagen.
