Thermage

As we age collagen production slows down, skin loses its elasticity and the contours of the face and body appear less defined. Normal in skin that come as we age include more visible wrinkles and skin, uneven texture, dryness, and thinning of the superficial layer of the skin.

The Private Clinic of Harley Street is one of few clinics in the UK to offer the revolutionary non-surgical Thermage CPT skin tightening treatment. Thermage has been described as a Facelift and is recognised for its body skin tightening results.

Thermage is the only non-invasive procedure that helps tighten and contour your skin in a single treatment—with no surgery, no injections, and no downtime. Instead, Thermage stimulates your body’s natural renewal of collagen, which creates subtle, natural looking results. Thermage is an effective treatment for skin tightening on the face, neck and décolletage, as well as the body. The treatment is an effective solution for sagging skin, loose jowls or lack of definition in the jawline, sagging skin under the chin and wrinkles and fine lines around the mouth and forehead.

Thermage involves no surgery, no injections and little to no downtime, and Thermage works on all skin types on and off the face. It produces subtle and gradual results resulting in smooth, sleek skin and an overall looking appearance.

All non-surgical procedures are offered at the same locations through our trusted sister clinic, The Cosmetic Skin Clinic. Discover more or book your consultation today via .

What to Expect

The Private Clinic has been treating patients for over 40 years with thousands of people placing their trust in us each year. We pride ourselves on being able to offer a personalised service. We have a team of friendly nurses and expert surgeons who understand the importance of this decision and will support you throughout your journey with us.

Thermage is a safe and effective treatment that heats the deep and collagen rich layers of your skin using radiofrequency . This heat works to remodel the existing collage as well as increasing the production of new collagen which as a result will improve the overall texture and smoothness of the skin.

Thermage can be used on the;

Face –  Thermage treatment is perfect for improving the appearance of loose jowls and sagging skin that can cause us to look tired and run down. The radiofrequency treatment works to smooth lines and wrinkles and remodels the collagen to improve the overall health of the skin.

Eyes – Hooded eyes and brows can cause us to look older than we actually are and are a tell-tale sign of ageing. Thermage treatment can be used around the upper and lower eyelids to help improve a more youthful and rested appearance.

The Body – As we age, areas on our body can show the appearance of sagging skin, dimples and bulges. The treatment can be used to help smooth the skin and in some cases can temporarily improve the appearance of cellulite.

We start the Thermage treatment by carrying out a deep cleanse on the area that is being treated, The Doctor will then apply a grid to the skin to ensure the area being treated is accurate. The Doctor will apply a small amount of gel and proceed to start the treatment, you will feel slight cooling from the treatment tip and a gentle vibration along with heat. The heat from the treatment is the Thermage targeting the deep tissues needed to stimulate and tighten collagen. Thermage is recommended as a one off treatment, however for best results we recommend maintenance once a year.

You may notice some initial after treatment but the of the tightening will take place gradually over a period of time.

The results will continue to form over a 6 month period with sagging or wrinkled skin being replaced with smoother and tighter skin that has an improved tone and texture helping you achieve an overall younger looking appearance.

Patients who have had more than one treatment may notice further improvements over time.

As Thermage targets the deep layers of the skin there is minimal downtime and you will be able to return to normal activities straight away.

Thermage treatment works by using best-in-class radiofrequency technology to heat collagen fibres deep in the skin and underlying tissue.

Thermage transfers heat to the epidermis which not only tightens the existing collagen but also the skin to produce more.

The radiofrequency technology produces electrical currents that cause the collagen to tighten which then encourages the skin to contract and become tighter and smoother.

The Thermage CPT system has a uniform heating action that causes the structures in the skin and tissue to immediately tighten while stimulating collagen growth. Over time, new and remodelled collagen is produced to further tighten and contour the skin.

Most individuals experience skin tightening and smoothing of the skin for 6 months and the results can last up to 10 years however this does depend on factors such as smoking, severe sun damage and skin disorders.

Some patients experience minor discomfort, however, the new Thermage system is considerably less painful than previous generations of this type of treatment.

The Thermage CPT system incorporates proprietary Comfort Pulse Technology™ in every aspect of the system including a new vibrating handpiece and scientifically advanced treatment tips. There is a special device in the new system that reduces discomfort and allows higher radiofrequency energies for greater results.

Patient care is our priority at The Private Clinic and we will always aim to make any treatment carried out at our clinics as comfortable as possible for the patient. As the Thermage treatment device touches your skin, you’ll feel a brief cooling sensation which will then be followed by a deep but brief heating sensation, followed by another cooling . Throughout the procedure, our will ensure that you are comfortable with the level of heat which allows them to gauge a balance your comfort and results.

No ongoing pain should be present after treatment but you may feel some tissue tightening.

The time is takes to a Thermage treatment will vary depending on the area being treated. When treating the face, it takes on average 45 minutes but it can longer if treating larger areas of the body or multiple areas.

Thermage treatment is generally a short procedure and is most commonly performed as a single treatment.

There’s no special care needed after the procedure and most patients return to their regular activities immediately following treatment.
