Unlike the traditional laser cosmetic procedures that use light to perform their magic, a thermage laser uses a heat technology that penetrates deep into the skin's makeup without doing any damage to the surface area. This innovative technology causes the collagen in the skin to react to the heat stimuli and contract and tighten. As it tightens, the skin is lifted, leaving a more youthful, rejuvenated appearance. The thermage laser is completely safe, and is used in 80 countries around the world. Because of the way the thermage laser is designed to work, the surface of the skin suffers no damage, and the patient experiences no downtime. Thermal laser treatment is the only non-invasive treatment in the industry.
