Skin Lifting & Tightening With Radiofrequency Energy

Many times, men and women wait until middle age to undergo plastic surgery, specifically a full facelift. They wait with good reason - a traditional facelift is an expensive, complex surgery with significant downtime. However, even if you are under 50 and enjoy an active lifestyle, you can still show the signs of aging such as softening features and fine lines and wrinkles. And the bad news is that when it comes to the effects of time, there's nowhere for the skin to go but down. Looking older, though, isn't always a problem, unless of course it makes you feel old.

Serving the Pacific Northwest, the Key Laser Institute for Aesthetic Medicine in Portland, Oregon is on the forefront on the West Coast in the use of noninvasive lasers, light and energy to reverse the signs of aging and to restore the health, appearance and overall wellbeing of your skin.

The face is the most influential feature in determining how people see you. It's also, most likely, the most influential feature in determining how you see yourself. To reverse the signs of aging, your best solutions for skin rejuvenation may be Thermage or Pellevé.

These non-invasive treatments lift and tighten the skin by gently passing radiofrequency (RF) energy through the outer layers of the skin to heat underlying tissues and structures. The heat causes collagen in the lower layers to contract, thereby tightening the skin above. The heat also causes the growth of new collagen, so the benefits of Thermage and Pellevé are progressive. And, this tissue renewal lifts the skin, which can have a positive effect on facial contouring.

Prior to your procedure, an anesthetic cream may be applied to slightly numb the face to minimize the discomfort resulting from the heat (although this is not usually necessary for Pellevé). After your procedure, you might experience a day of slight redness. For many people, a single treatment is all that's needed to achieve more youthful looking skin. While you'll see and feel a difference immediately, the optimum benefit of radiofrequency energy should be realized 4 to 6 months following your procedure.
