ThermaFrax Skin Rejuvenation

The Non-Invasive Alternative to Plastic Surgery for Facial Rejuvenation

What would you say if I told you that you could achieve the results demonstrated in these photos without plastic surgery?

You might think it’s too good to be true, but the fact is, not only is it true but these are actual un-retouched photos.

What did the woman in the photographs have done?
This patient completed a ThermaFrax series which is a combination of one Thermage NXT treatment followed by five monthly Fraxel re:store treatments. The second photo was taken three months after completing her ThermaFrax series.

How does ThermaFrax work?
ThermaFrax is an amazing combination treatment for reversing many signs of aging including skin laxity, fine lines and wrinkles, pigmentation and surface imperfections. Thermage NXT uses patented radiofrequency technology to stimulate the tightening of the existing collagen fibers and promote new collagen growth for younger looking skin. Fraxel re:store treatments use pinpoint laser beams that penetrate beneath the skin’s surface and eliminate thousands of microscopic old, damaged skin cells replacing them with fresh glowing skin.

Why is ThermaFrax better than Thermage and Fraxel re:store treatments alone?
Research has shown that combining Thermage NXT and Fraxel re:store treatments back to back, results in greater tightening and smoothing of the skin compared to results of either treatment performed alone. The enhancement effect of both procedures collectively is sometimes referred to as the 1+1=3 EFFECT.

Are ThermaFrax treatments safe?
Yes, both Thermage NXT and Fraxel re:store treatments are non-invasive outpatient treatments that yield safe, reliable and reproducible results backed by extensive research. There is no downtime with Thermage NXT treatments. Where as, there is minimal downtime with Fraxel re:store treatments that can be customized to your lifestyle. For example, when Fraxel re:store treatments are performed on Thursday or Friday, with minimal downtime over the weekend, you can return to work on Monday or Tuesday. There are no increased risks to combining these procedures.

Who is a good candidate for ThermaFrax treatments?
Anyone with aging skin of the face and neck showing signs of sagging jowls and chin, textural roughness, fine wrinkles or irregular pigmentation is a good candidate for this series of treatments.
