The Best Collagen-Building Options

Exton, PA, April 1, 2015 (Newswire.com) - Collagen has always been crucial to maintaining a youthful appearance. With aging comes the breakdown of collagen. As people age, they begin to lose volume in the face and elasticity of the skin. Men and women are constantly losing collagen, and  that collagen-loss begins to occur more rapidly as we get older. In this day and age, there are ways to combat collagen loss, and ultimately slow down the aging process. Radiofrequency heat has been used for over 10 years to rejuvenate the collagen base and tighten skin. Two of the most popular radiofrequency treatments are Thermage Classic and Thermage Illuminate. Both are excellent options for building collagen. The difference is in the energy pulses and the tips. 

Thermage Illuminate uses the Face 3.0 CPT Tip with 600 pulses. This procedure involves low energy radiofrequency bursts. We suggest Thermage Illuminate be done about every 6-12 months for ongoing collagen production. Patients looking for more routine, continuous collagen-building are perfect candidates for Thermage Illuminate. 

Thermage Classic uses the Total 3.0 CPT Tip with 900 pulses, a higher energy radiofrequency treatment. Many physicians suggest a traditional Thermage treatment about every 1-2 years. Classic Thermage procedures are ideal for patients in need of more intense collagen-building. 

Thermage procedures have no downtime, and minimal redness. A select few practices use the CPT Machine, the latest edition technology for Thermage procedures. This machine offers minimal discomfort for the patient, making Thermage infinitely more tolerable, and virtually pain-free. Patients can drive themselves to and from the office, because the procedure does not require sedation or any pain medication. 

Maintenance is key in regards to Thermage, and the fight against collagen break-down. When patients begin to see signs of aging, they should start a Thermage regimen. If patients maintain the suggested frequency of treatments, they can effectively fight signs of aging. Stay young with Thermage!
