Thermage
Thermage is a popular treatment for Midwest Medical Specialists' patients because of its non-invasive nature and "no downtime" convenience. It is the only non-invasive procedure that helps tighten and contour your skin in a single treatment - with no surgery, no injections, and little to no downtime.
Thermage can be used on the face/neck, around the eyes, and on the tummy, knees, arms, legs, hands and buttocks. It stimulates your body's natural renewal of collagen, which creates subtle, natural looking results, including:
- Creeping, sagging skin becomes tighter and smoother
- Wrinkles and lines become softer-looking and less noticeable
- Excess or loose skin and even "love handles" are reduced and become tighter

| The Thermage wand produces radiofrequency waves that heat the deep layers of skin and stimulate collagen production. |
The procedure uses unique radiofrequency (RF) technology to safely heat the deep layers of your skin, while cooling the surface of your skin to keep it intact during the procedure. This deep heating stimulates your body's natural skin renewal process, which helps tighten existing collagen and form new collagen. Over time, sagging or wrinkled skin is replaced with smoother, tighter skin; improved tone and texture; and an overall younger looking appearance.

Thermage treatment lengths vary depending on the body part treated, but typically face areas take around 90 minutes; eyes take about an hour; and body procedures take anywhere from one hour to 90 minutes. Thermage can be performed right in our office. Patients can return to normal activities and even apply makeup immediately after treatment.
PLEASE NOTE: Cosmetic procedures will not be submitted to insurance.
