How Tummy by Thermage™ Works

If you’ve had a baby, lost weight or simply want a tighter, younger looking tummy, the Tummy by Thermage procedure may be for you. The Tummy by Thermage procedure is non-invasive, generally requires only a single treatment in our office, and you can quickly get back to your normal routine. A handpiece with a smooth, flat tip delivers radiofrequency energy, which safely heats the deeper layers of your skin. This stimulates existing collagen and promotes new collagen growth over time, resulting in smoother, tighter skin.

The Procedure.

The procedure usually takes one to two hours. When the energy is applied, you’ll feel a deep, but brief, heating sensation, which is an indication that collagen is reaching effective temperatures for tightening. To protect the surface of your skin, a cooling spray is delivered before, during and after each application of energy. You will be asked for feedback on the level of heat sensation experienced during the procedure to help balance your comfort with maximum results.

The Results.

Like all Body by Thermage™ procedures, everyone can expect collagen tightening. The magnitude of visible improvement varies from subtle to dramatic. Generally, some improvement is immediately visible and continues up to six months as new collagen forms in the skin. Results can last for years, depending on your skin condition and aging process.

No one likes what age does to our bodies. We’d all like to be a bit firmer and tighter than we are now. Ask Dr. Barnthouse if Tummy by Thermage is right for you.
