How does Radiofrequency work?

Skin tightening at AZ Laser Rx uses radiofrequency waves provided through a handheld device to remodel the tissues beneath the skin to tighten and rejuvenate the skin.  Thermage jump-starts the skin’s own restorative processes. The heat changes the collagen while the cool sensations provide comfort and skin protection. Along with the heating and cooling, you will also feel small vibrations to improve comfort. There is no pain  associated with this treatment. 

What areas can be treated with RadioFrequency?

Skin tightening in Scottsdale is effective on aging, drooping skin throughout the body. It can be used around the eyes, jaw, lips, neck, and almost anywhere on the body where you notice bulging, sagging  or an uneven skin texture, including the thighs, abdomen, buttocks, and hands.

Does RadioFrequency reduce fat?

Recent research has found that, in addition to lifting and tightening loose, sagging skin, Thermage provides the added benefit of reducing fat in the lower face. This is great for patients who have fatty deposits in sagging jowls or along the jawline. Ask us for details during your personalized consultation.  However, if you’re looking for fat reduction in other areas of the body, such as the upper arms, abs, and thighs, EmSculpt Neo is designed specifically for non-surgical fat reduction and is available at AZ Laser RX in Scottsdale, AZ

Who Can Not be Treated with RadioFrequency?
Thermage skin tightening cannot be used on areas that have tattoos. It may not provide adequate effects if you have severe signs of aging, such as very deep wrinkles or sagging skin that is more pronounced. In these cases, other non-surgical treatments or even plastic surgery may be recommended. Thermage skin tightening in Scottsdale should not be undertaken if you have recently received dermal fillers, as radiofrequency waves can break down the product. Thermage is not safe if you use a cardiac pacemaker.
