Thermage Featured on Today Show

NBC’s Today Show recently profiled four women who received noninvasive skin treatments, including Thermage.

Dr. Anne Chapas, a dermatologist in New York City, explained to Meredith Vieira how she used Thermage to help patients with skin laxity. Thermage was developed to tighten skin without surgery. It works by using radio frequency energy to heat the tissue below the skin while it keeps the skin surface cool. This “tightens” existing collagen and stimulates new collagen growth.

Lisa, a new mom, received Thermage treatment on her stomach. She explained that she had a lot of extra flab in her mid section after her second child. According to Lisa, Thermage tightened her belly and helps her fit better in her clothes.

Thermage can also be used to tighten the face. Lisa B. was suffering from skin discoloration, breakouts and blotches, and looseness. She first received Thermage treatment, which helped tighten her skin and build collagen, followed the next week by a noninvasive treatment called Fraxel to help even out her skin tone.

Thermage treatments are available at Dr. Branman’s Little Rock, Arkansas office.
