Thermage®
The controlled application of RF energy penetrates the deeper layers of the skin, encouraging collagen renewal and gradual skin tightening. Noteworthy for its versatility and ability to deliver noticeable results without the need for surgery or downtime, Thermage has become a popular choice for individuals seeking non-invasive skin tightening and rejuvenation.
