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 Heating Process: The heat changes the collagen.
• The Cooling Process: Cool sensations provide comfort and skin protection.
• The Experience: Along with the heating and cooling, you will also feel small vibrations to improve comfort. There is no pain associated with this treatment.

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.  

Looking for fat reduction elsewhere? 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 in Scottsdale should not be undertaken under the following conditions:

• Tattoos: It cannot be used on areas that have tattoos.
• Severe Signs of Aging: It may not provide adequate effects if you have very deep wrinkles or sagging skin that is more pronounced (in these cases, other non-surgical treatments or even plastic surgery may be recommended).
• Recent Dermal Fillers: It should not be undertaken if you have recently received dermal fillers, as radiofrequency waves can break down the product.
• Medical Devices: Thermage is not safe if you use a cardiac pacemaker.
