1)How does the treatment feel?
With each contact with the ThermaTip treatment tip you will feel a short, deep sensation of heat that is created by the supply of high-frequency energy into the skin and tissue. This feeling of heat is a sign that your collagen has reached a temperature that is ideal for firming. For the protection of your skin, the treatment tip is cooled before, during and after heating. This makes the treatment more pleasant.
Depending on your sensitivity to pain, you may be given a light sedative or analgesic – anaesthesia is not necessary.
2) How long does the procedure take?
The treatment may take between 30 minutes and a little over an hour, depending on the size of the area to be treated. Some further time may be required to prepare the skin before the treatment.
3)How does my skin feel after the treatment?
Your skin should feel firmer, smoother and more youthful immediately after the treatment. With time you will notice further firming.
4) How many treatments do I need?
For the majority of patients even a single treatment produces the desired results. Your physician can determine the duration of therapy that is especially suited for you.
5) When can I see results?
Studies carried out by micro needle fractional RF and published recently show that there are visible changes immediately after the treatment as well as measurable improvements of the firming effect gradually over 2 to 6 months after a single treatment. However, many patients report that they have noticed reactions even earlier.
6) How long does the effect of the Thermalift procedure last?
According to unpublished reports by experienced doctors, the results last at least 24 months or even longer, depending on the natural ageing process of the patient and the intensity of external influences that have an effect on the skin after the treatment.
7) Is the procedure safe?
Existing studies and research data have confirmed that the micro needle fractional RF procedure is currently one of the most effective and safest non-surgical methods of treatment for face wrinkles and skin creases. More than 300,000 treatments have resulted in a level of safety of 99.8%. Please speak to your doctor about the proof of safety of this procedure.
