• No matter how well a person takes care of his or
  her skin throughout a lifetime, the effects of
  aging will eventually show.
• Even if a person puts on sunscreen every single
  day, drinks plenty of water and exercises
  regularly throughout a lifetime, eventually a
  point will be reached where the body cannot
  replace the collagen in the skin fast enough to
  prevent the signs of aging from showing.

3

• Not only age, but sun exposure and other
  lifestyle choices can expedite the breakdown of
  collagen, which may result in saggy skin around
  the face and neck, wrinkles on the face
  (especially around the eyes, forehead and mouth),
  and similar problems with sagging or wrinkling
  around other areas of the body.

4

• The key to reducing the appearance of such
  signs of aging is to encourage the production of
  more collagen in the dermis and subcutaneous
  tissue, or in other words, the layers of skin
  that don't show.

5

• One way to accomplish this reversal in the aging
  process, to encourage more collage to develop, is
  by stimulating the under layers of skin with
  techniques like Thermage.

6

• This skin therapy uses radio frequency
  technology, and heats the layers of deep skin
  tissue. In the past, such procedures might have
  burned the epidermis or the outer layer of skin,
  but thanks to new cooling technology developed
  with Thermage, San Diego medical professionals
  have discovered how to prevent this problem.

7

• As the deep layers of skin are stimulated by the
  heat, the saggy or wrinkly skin is actually
  replaced leaving the person with tighter,
  smoother skin. The overall effect is younger
  looking skin.

8

• This treatment is different than laser treatments
  in that it does not heat the outermost layer of
  skin.
• This outermost layer is frequently replaced by
  the body meaning that using radio frequency
  technology instead will go straight to the
  underlying source of the problem for more
  immediate, and permanent, results.

9

• Additionally many people have found this form of
  treatment beneficial in that absolutely no
  recovery time is needed.
• With some procedures the patient may be out of
  work and unable to complete daily activities for
  days.

10

• With the required multiple treatments for many
  laser procedures there is a definite drawback to
  taking so much time to recover.

11

• With a procedure like Thermage the patient can be
  back in action and looking better than ever
  straight away, after just one treatment. Such
  advanced technology might not be available just
  anywhere, so be sure to look for the best
  providers using the most advanced technology
  before committing to a procedure.
