Thermage NXT
Thermage ThermaCool technology was introduced in 2000. Thermage NXT replaced Thermage ThermaCool in 2007.
Thermage NXT safely heats the deep layers of your skin while cooling the surface of your skin to keep it intact during the procedure. This energy strategically heats the deep collagen fibers resulting in 1. immediate tightening of existing “old loose, weakened, and disorganized” collagen, and 2. the activation of the collagen renewal process resulting in “old” collagen becoming replaced by “new, tight, and organized” collagen over the next few months.
Clinical results are known to vary. Some patients see tighter, younger-appearing skin immediately. Others begin to see improvement after 2-3 months. All continue to improve for a total of six months after the treatment. A few patients with significant laxity and loss of skin elasticity may need the DermaLift™ Procedure or a second treatment four months later for substantial improvement.
Research reveals that patients treated with Thermage in 2002 and re-evaluated in 2007 have shown consistent results with no deterioration apart from the normal aging process. It is projected that the benefits from Thermage may last as long as 5-10 years.
