Most patients prefer a non-surgical method of enhancing their looks provided that it really works. Thermage seems to fit in to that criteria well.

Thermage is non-invasive cosmetic surgery technique that tightens aging skin and renews facial features with no downtime. After being approved by the Food and Drug Administration in 2001, its popularity has grown so much for the last few years. The technique uses radiofrequency technology to enhance the appearance of facial skin around the eyes and forehead. It produces desirable results with no incisions and no recovery time.

Now, thermage has found a new area to improve. This news story has this to say:

Dr. Scott Greenberg said thermage on the abdomen works in two ways -- rebuilding collagen and tightening the fibrous layer of the belly muscles.

"What a woman can expect is a tighter stomach and flatter stomach. Her jeans will fit her better and also the wrinkling in the skin will be improved," Greenberg said.

Patients need just one treatment and the doctor said results can last as long as three years.

The procedure looks very promising. But as with all cosmetic surgery procedures, thermage has its own set of risks and complications that the patients need to be aware about before having surgery. It is always best to talk to your cosmetic surgeon and discuss the matter. This way, complications can be minimized if not totally avoided.
