Consultation
It starts with a personal consultation with your trained and licensed Younique provider. During this relaxing and energizing one-on-one, they’ll discuss your concerns, your goals for treatment, and your medical history. If your provider determines that Thermage RF skin tightening in Los Angeles is the best treatment for your concerns and goals, your session can be scheduled.
Procedure
First, your Younique provider will thoroughly cleanse your treatment area, removing any makeup. Then, they will draw a temporary treatment grid on your skin and apply a specialized gel. The Thermage laser head is placed on the grid squares, and RF frequencies penetrate to heat the dermis and promote collagen generation. You will feel an immediate cool sensation followed by a brief hot sensation, then a cool sensation again.
Recovery
The procedure takes 1 to 3 hours depending on the size of the area being treated. Most patients require no downtime. Some Younique patients experience mild to moderate swelling, which could lead to time off from work or normal activities, but this is infrequent. Minimal redness does occur, but it usually disappears shortly after treatment. No special aftercare is usually needed after having the procedure.

Is Thermage a safe skin tightening treatment?
Thermage is one of the safest skin procedures available today, because it is both nonsurgical and noninvasive. Thermage treatment uses radio frequency lasers to heat the surface of the skin. This advanced laser treatment also uses a cryogen cooling mechanism to assure no damage is done to the skin.
There is a certain degree of discomfort in some instances, but the delivery of radio waves is interspersed with the delivery of the cooling, cryogen spray. This results in a treatment that’s well-tolerated by most people.
Patients can return to work immediately after receiving treatment.
