BACK TO MAIN

The best way to determine if you are a candidate for BodyThermage™ is to arrange for a complimentary educational consultation at Renu Age-Defying Laserspa. Each patient will have the opportunity to get complete information regarding the treatment, effects and expected results.

What is a BodyThermage™ treatment?
Have you noticed over the years your skin increasingly sags? For instance, do your arms sag, creating that unsightly "bat-wing" appearance? Have you noticed that gravity has gotten the better of your bottom?

You may have even considered liposuction or other surgical options to tighten things up. Unlike a surgical operation costing over $15,000, there are no incisions and consequently no downtime with a BodyThermage™ treatment. Best of all, it costs only a fraction. Gradually over the following months you’ll notice tightening of lax skin that friends can’t help but notice. BodyThermage™, has been approved by the FDA.

How does BodyThermage™ tighten sagging skin?
The radio frequency energy penetrates into the deeper layers of your skin, heating a calculated volume of tissue. This hear creates both immediate and delayed biologic effects. Some patients notice tightening of their skin shortly after a Thermage treatment. This is due to the immediate contraction of collagen fibers in the skin, analagous to shrink wrap. Then over the next three to six months new collagen is produced.

What is a BodyThermage™ treatment like?
Depending on the desired areas treated, Thermage™ usually takes between hour and ninety minutes. Preparation is simple and involves removing make-up, applying a numbing cream, taking some mild sedation, then reclining in our relaxing treatment rooms as the ThermaCool handpiece is systematically applied to the skin.

Is it painful?
Because we use our potent custom formulated topical anesthetic cream, TripleCaine, and the ThermaCool device chills your skin; you will probably only feel a brief sensation of intense heat with each pulse. In addition, we prescribe sedation to relax you and make this a more comfortable procedure.

Is BodyThermage™ safe?
The BodyThermage™ procedure is very safe and uses RF energy to heat tissue, a concept that has been safely utilized in the surgical arena for over 25 years. The ThermaCool TC is a FDA-approved cosmetic device that has been approved fot both the face and body. The device has appeared in multiple studies published in medical journals. Very rarely do adverse events like superficial burns occur. Most importantly, our BodyThermage™ treatments are supervised by a board certified surgeon.

Do I need recovery time?
Unlike a surgical face lift, there’s no downtime. What’s so great about BodyThermage™ is patients return to work and their regular activities the following day (only because of sedation). You might notice slight flushing to the area, like after exercise that usually resolves within an hour.

Are there side effects?
It’s unlikely that you’ll develop any significant side effects. Flushing is common which resolves in an hour. Very rarely does flaking, blistering, or pigmentation changes occur; and these are usually temporary.

When will I start to see results?
Some patients begin to notice skin tightening within the 1st month then gradual improvement reaching full effectiveness within 3-6 months. Many people are satisfied with skin tightening from a single BodyThermage™ treatment. Follow-up appointments should be scheduled in 1, 3, and 6 months to asses your progress and determine if an additional Thermage™ procedure or other enhancing treatments would be beneficial (eg. Botox^®, Photorejuvenation, injectible fillers).

How long do the effects last?
As with any cosmetic procedure, this varies with each individual, depending on the underlying skin condition, genetics, and future sun exposure. Skin tightening may last years. It is beneficial to use our physician & pharmacist approved Bio-Active Cosmeceuticals to maintain this investment you made in your skin, and perhaps decrease the need for future treatments. Nevertheless, BodyThermage™ can be performed as needed in the future.

Our Rēnu prices start at $1499 per treatment, which is hundreds of dollars less than you’ll pay at many doctor’s offices.
