Thermage®

American Self keeps up to date on the most advanced technologies and treatments that help patients maintain a youthful appearance. In keeping with that tradition, we are proud to announce that we offer The Thermage™ Tissue Tightening Procedure made possible by our ThermaCool TC™ system, a new radiofrequency-based device designed to tighten tissue and improve the appearance of skin around the eyes, jaw and neck. This sophisticated new medical treatment device has been cleared by the FDA for the non-invasive treatment of wrinkles and rhytids, and produces dramatic anti-aging changes in the mid-face and jaw line. ThermaCool TC™ is only available from selected physicians in the United States. Dr. Hillelson has more experience and success with this technology than anyone in central Virginia and performs every treatment personally.

The Thermage Procedure tightens tissue by delivering radiofrequency energy through the skin, heating the deep skin layers underneath while protecting the skin surface with a cooling action. The procedure is intended to cause immediate collagen contraction followed by new collagen production and continued tightening over time. Patients treated in clinical studies continue to improve for six months after treatment, and the effect can last for years.

The Thermage Procedure requires no recovery time, so you can return to normal activities the very same day of your treatment. Best of all, there are no needles or scalpels. Since the Thermage procedure works by tightening deeper tissue, it can complement other proceducres that treat the upper layers of your skin.

As one of the first ThermaCool TC™ users in the area, we have performed hundreds of Thermage procedures with excellenet results in our patients.
