Thermacool is a new technological breakthrough in plastic surgery, more specifically facelift surgeries, that is performed without the use of either a knife or a laser. The Thermacool Skin Lift works by using a unique radio frequency to cause immediate collagen contractions followed by gradual tightening of the collagen. As the collagen tightens, the skin of the face lifts upward. This process does no damage to the skin. A cryogen spray is used on the skin during the entire process from beginning to end that further helps protect the skins surface. The Thermacool Skin Lift is an outpatient procedure that takes approximately two hours. The procedure is a targeted treatment which means it can be performed on specific areas of the body.
