Introduction

   ThermaClinic radiofrequency treatment offers an effective and comfortable way to achieve facial skin tightening and wrinkle reduction.  After a course of treatments you can enjoy tighter, younger looking skin with improved skin tone, texture and elasticity.

   ThermaClinic can also reduce stubborn fat deposits around the face and neck.

Is the treatment effective?

   Yes - the system has been designed by dermatologists and proven to be highly effective for hundreds of people.

How does ThermaClinic work?

   A form of energy called RadioFrequency (RF) is applied to the skin via a bipolar applicator to gently heat the skin, promoting accelerated collagen production and contraction of collagen fibres to restructure and tighten the skin.

  By increasing the power, fat cells can be targetted and disrupted by a method called lipolysis.  The disrupted fat cells are then processed by the body naturally.

How is the treatment carried out?

   A thin layer of gel is applied to the face and an applicator delivering RF current is moved in circular motions to warm the skin.  The desired skin temperature is reached quickly and then maintained for 2 to 3 minutes.  Typically each treatment session lasts 30 to 40 minutes.  The gel is then removed and the skin is cooled.

Am I suitable for treatment?

    Yes.  ThermaClinic is suitable for most individuals.  However if you are pregnant or breast feeding, treatment is not advisable.

How does the treatment feel?

   Treatment is not considered painful - most people actually comment on how pleasurable and relaxing the heating sensation is!

What should I expect after after treatment?

    Your skin may be pink for a short time after treatment but this will subside quickly.  Normal activities can proceed immediately and no special after care is required.  Immediately after treatment the contraction of collagen fibres improves skin elasticity and the skin may appear firmer.  However the benefits are progressive and the full effect is generally seen 1 to 2 months after a series of treatments.

How many treatments are necessary?

    Generally a course of 6 to 8 treatments are recommended at weekly intervals.

Are there any side-effects?

    Side effects are extremely rare but can include slight, short term discomfort which is easily well tolerated.  Oedema (swelling) and erythema (redness) can occur, but will disappear within a few hours.
