Radio Frequency Face Lift

In this day and age of consumerism, good looks have never been so important. Studies have shown that higher pay is directly proportional to attractiveness. That's why cosmetic surgery isn't just for movie stars and show business professionals anymore. A new class of savvy cosmetic consumers means that cosmetic face surgery is no longer a taboo.

Fine lines and wrinkling are two things that appear first in the face with age. Traditionally, people would wait until their middle age before considering a face lift. That's when accumulated wrinkles and loose skin can really affect the way people see you. However, these surgeries are known to be complicated, expensive, and time-consuming. The need for a simpler and effective face lift procedure has spawned a new wave of non-surgical techniques that can reverse the signs of aging.

Top dog among these is the radio frequency face lift. The technique was developed by Thermage, and is officially called a Thermacool face lift. This patented procedure uses radio frequency radiation to rejuvenate facial features without the need for incisions or long recovery times.

In a radio frequency face lift, a radio emitter is placed against the skin. The radio energy passes through the upper layers of skin and delivers heat to the underlying muscle and tissue layer. This heat causes the tissue to contract, causing the upper layers to contract with it. A cooling spray is also used in conjunction with the radio emitter because of the amounts of heat involved. The result is tighter skin, reduced wrinkling, and a fresh new look. Usually there are only brief side effects like swelling and irritation. These can be treated with topical anesthetic creams.

Since its inception, the Thermacool radio frequency face lift has been proven as an effective non-surgical treatment for wrinkles and fine lines. The results of the treatment are not as dramatic or obvious as a traditional face lift. That leaves the realm of radio frequency face lifts to that of early age maintenance. Like the mini face lift and other less effective methods, the radio frequency face lift is perfect for a younger client with only initial signs of aging. These can be treated more effectively than heavy signs of aging. Plus, the result is that a young patient can continue to look young without obvious surgical scars.

The entire procedure only takes an hour or so, with major side effects subsiding within days. The final result won't be apparent until months afterwards when the deep tissue layers have fully healed.
