Tighten and Rejuvenate Skin with SL Aesthetic Clinic’s Thermage CPT in Singapore

Thermage with Comfort Pulse Technology (CPT) – tightens and smoothens loose skin on the face, wrinkly crepey eyes, jowls and jawline.

What is Thermage CPT?

Introduced in 1995, Thermage is no new-comer to the world of skin-tightening. Thermage has thus far received FDA approval for the treatment of wrinkles on the face and eyelids, and can also be used on other parts of the body. Its upgrade with larger tips and Comfort Pulse Technology (CPT) meant that Thermage treatments have increased comfort for patients, with shorter treatment duration.

Thermage CPT uses monopolar capacitively coupled radiofrequency (RF) energy to tighten and contour skin. This specialised monopolar technology allows the RF energy to penetrate deeper than lasers, into the dermis and subcutaneous tissues. It is in these layers where collagen is stimulated, resulting in the tightening of the skin.

The top-down heating approach of Thermage CPT means it is able to treat many superficial skin concerns – wrinkles, pores, and texture. Thermage’s skin tightening results typically fully realise after 6 months, and can last lasts up to 2 years.

It is important to note that results will vary by the individual. Age is an important factor that determines how long results can last. As a general rule of thumb, the older you are, the less responsive you’ll be to collagen-stimulating procedures such as Thermage.

Thermage CPT treats a range of skin concerns:

  • Chiefly, it is indicated for the tightening of crepey skin
  • Smoothening wrinkles and fine lines
  • Improving skin texture and pore size
  • Visibly firmer skin
  • Collagen production stimulated over time for longer-lasting results

Benefits

  • Thermage CPT can be used to treat wrinkles on many parts of the face, eyes, and body
  • Can be coupled with other skin tightening treatments for beneficial results

Safety
Thermage CPT is safe and FDA approved for the treatment of wrinkles and skin tightening and is the only treatment that’s FDA approved for the eyelids as well.

When is it too early to start Thermage CPT (or any other anti-ageing treatments)?

The saying that Prevention is Cure holds very true here. Anti-ageing treatments such as lasers and Thermage should be can be used preventively before your skin loses all its collagen and elasticity.

Waiting till your skin becoming saggy and wrinkly means it will be a lot more difficult to treat and will involve a more financial and time investment. Results will also never be comparable if you start with preventive treatments. Starting early, on the other hand, means you’re able to maintain and keep your skin looking youthful for longer.

Skin tightening results with Thermage CPT & HIFU

While Thermage CPT heats the skin from top-down, HIFU (High Intensity Focused Ultrasound) heats the skin from the inside-out. The two procedures work synergistically to give a 3-Dimensional non-invasive lift.

But which is better? In fact, both are effective skin lifting treatments, each one performing differently than the other.

Due to its top-down heating approach, Thermage CPT addresses concerns in the dermis – skin texture, pore size, wrinkles, firmness. The non-invasive, non-surgical HIFU with its inside-out heating mechanism goes into the deeper layers (e.g., SMAS or even deep fat layer) to lift skin that’s sagging from gravity, much like a facelift. This is why having both treatments done means you stand to reap benefits from both treatments.

After a Thermage CPT treatment, your skin may feel taut and smooth to the touch. Additional tightening and smoothing may occur over 3 to 6 months.

After assessing your needs, the doctor can perform the treatment in approximately an hour for a treatment of the face (longer for the body), subject to the doctor’s schedule. Otherwise, a later appointment can be made for the procedure itself.
