As summer approaches, we panic. It's time to reveal our body so we feel the need to work on those areas we neglected during winter. Legs, cellulitis, those extra kilos... Luckily enough, everything can be mended!
Some time ago, at Fundaleu's Gala, I had the pleasure of chatting a bit with the amazing Velia Lemel, a beauty doctor and one of the sponsors of our blog.
I told her I wanted her to give us tips and advices to get ready for summer and suggests us certain treatments.
I give you today what Velia sent me about Thermage.
For those who don't know, Thermage, known worldwide as the "lunch lifting," is the IT treatment to work on the face and body. It's known like that because many use the free hours of lunch to take a session.
Thermage is perfect when looking for a "touch" that erases the signs of tiredness, reduces flaccidity, recovers the contours of the face and lifts the double chin. Results are immediate: a younger looking skin, soft and luminous.
Thermage has been around for 10 years now and it's been FDA approved.
Where can it be applied?
In the face and neck, to lift the skin of the neck, but also improve the look of eyelids, front and eyebrow-area.
It can also be applied on the body: abdomen, legs, knees and arms, all areas with loose skin due to age or pregnancy. In hands, combined with IPL, it recovers their firmness and softness, eliminating spots along the way.
What is it about?
Thermage applies energy through radiofrecency, producing a contraction of the existing collagen and stimulating the formation of new collagen for even 6 months after the treatment.
For who is it recommended?
For all those who want to avoid or postpone going into surgery. It's in men and women between 35 and 70 years old where best results are obtained. For those women starting in their 30s, it works as a preventing treatment for flaccidity and, after giving birth, it helps stretch loose skin and reduce the look of stretch marks.
How many sessions are necessary?
What's revolutionary about Thermage is that it's simply a one-session-only treatment, of an hour and a half. You can immediately go back to your normal activities. No one will notice you've been at the Beauty center.
What do you feel during treatment?
Just a mild burning sensation, followed by an immediate freshness as result of the refrigerating mist used to make you feel more comfortable.
When can you see the results?
You will immediately feel your skin firmer and more luminous, but is is progressively that you'll witness the mayor changes. The treatment can last up to two years, depending on your natural aging process, your genetics, your skin type and sun exposure.
Thermage can be applied any time of the year, to any skin type or color and it's not necessary to avoid sun exposure right after.
Thank you very much, Velia!
