Thermage Body
Thermage Body is a non-invasive procedure that tightens, firms and shapes the body without surgery or injections. Cellulite smoothes out on the buttocks and thighs. Arms tighten up. Post-baby tummies firm up. Inches are lost on thighs, hips and waists. There is no downtime so you can return to normal activities immediately following treatment. Only one treatment is typically needed, taking approximately 1-2 hours. Patients can expect to see mild to moderate skin tightening and lifting, circumferential reduction of body areas, and flatter, smoother skin.
The latest upgrade to the popular, non-invasive Thermage Body is the 16cm treatment tip. The new tip improves patient comfort, offers results in half the time and is ideal for patients who are not significantly overweight but want deep tightening of sagging skin and reduction of cellulite or unwanted bulges.
The Thermage 16.0 tip design is unique because it heats 79 percent deeper than the original Thermage. Increased collagen tightening in the 
subcutaneous layer of the skin of abdomen, “love handles,” thighs, buttocks, knees and arms delivers better results. It safely heats the skin’s under-layer and the web of collagen in the inner-layer, causing an immediate tightening as well as improved tone and texture. Improvements to the skin continue and become even more noticeable for six to nine months following treatments as new collagen grows. Thermage is the only non-invasive procedure available that tightens and renews the skin’s collagen in only one treatment. Enhanced results occur when Thermage is followed by monthly Triactive treatments and daily Glytone Lipolift Skin Care.

“Enhancing the patient experience is my number one priority,” states Susan Van Dyke, M.D. “The new Thermage tip reduces the time necessary to achieve optimal body tightening, significantly benefits our patients and adds to our ability to provide the best treatments that yield the best and safest results.”
TriActive
TriActive is used for the temporary reduction of the appearance of cellulite. Improvement in local circulation results in a smoother appearance of dimpling, and in temporary skin tightening. Multiple treatments are needed, typically a series of 10 treatments are done, 1-2 times a week. Maintenance treatments are then done monthly. This is the perfect pre-vaction procdure to get you bathing suit ready.
Triactive- Before & After
When Triactive is done post-Thermage, monthly treatments are recommended.
Glytone Lipo-Lift: A regimen that visibly reduces the appearance of cellulite consists of a massager and cleanser to be used in the shower. Active ingredients of caffiene, ivy extract, pilosella, salicylic acid and hesperidin methyl chalcone work together to reduce cellulite on a daily basis. A small amount of cleanser is inserted into the massaging hand piece. Circular movement of the handpiece over the cellulite area release the active ingredients while stimulating circulation. Be sure to include these products if you have had Thermage Body and or Triactive treatments for maximal results.
