What it is
Skin tightening, without surgery. One session, no time off.
Thermage® CPT heats the deeper layer of the skin with radiofrequency while cooling the surface. It tightens the collagen you already have and prompts your skin to build new collagen over the following months.
It is for mild to moderate laxity: a softening jawline, hooded or crepey eyelids, loose skin on the neck.
Treats face, eyes and neck. No needles, no peeling.

Why one treatment
One appointment. Results that keep building.
Most skin treatments need a series. Thermage® CPT is done once. Some tightening shows soon after, and the real change builds over the next two to six months as new collagen forms. Most clients repeat it every one to two years as their skin continues to age.

The technology
Deep heat, cool surface. Comfort Pulse Technology.
Thermage® CPT is monopolar radiofrequency from Solta Medical. CPT stands for Comfort Pulse Technology: each pulse cools the surface, delivers a brief deep heat, then cools again, with gentle vibration throughout.
Every area is treated with its own new treatment tip, and the energy is set to your comfort as the treatment goes.
RadiofrequencyHeat below the surface
Tightens existing collagen and builds new.
CoolingSurface protected
Cooling before, during and after each pulse.
Comfort PulseBuilt-in vibration
Takes the edge off the heat with every pulse.
One tip per areaFace, eyes, neck
A new tip made for each area, including the eyes.
How it works
Heat goes deep, the surface stays cool.
Radiofrequency passes through the surface into the deeper skin, where collagen sits. The surface is cooled the whole time, so nothing peels and nothing is removed.
