Skin Tightening

We all want smoother, tighter, younger looking skin and at Australian Skin Clinics we have a couple of treatments available that can take years off your look by tightening your skin. We offer two skin tightening systems, equally as effective although different in application. If you are prepared to pay more for a once only treatment Thermage Nxt is for you. If you prefer to spread the cost consider the refit. More information on each of these below.

Viora Re-fit® Skin Tightening

Reaction-body-contouring-bannerRe-Fit Skin Tightening is one of our most exciting, affordable treatments for the 35+ age group. Used to stimulate the production of new collagen, tighten skin, improve texture and elasticity which makes a different to how you look and feel.

This technology uses multiple radio frequencies that target a range if tissue depths between the superficial layers of the skin and the hypodermis. This creates a stronger, more evenly distributed thermal response through all skin layers. Our new innovative technology also allows easier penetration of the radio frequency energy.

The skin tightening results can be achieved on the face, neck and jaw line, under the eyes and on the body.

Because there is no surgery involved with our skin tightening treatments, you will experience virtually no downtime and should return to normal activities immediately after the procedure.

Thermage NXT®

Thermage-MachineThermage NXT is one of our most exciting treatments for the 40+ age group. Thermage Nxt Skin Tightening system is able to generate new collagen, improve texture and make a difference to how you look and feel.

It is a once only treatment, but many of our clients are so thrilled with the results they see it as a maintenance treatment to be repeated between one and five years after the first treatment.

In 2007 we tried the old Thermage machine – it hurt a lot, the result was poor and we did not believe it would give clients the results that we would want to provide. The launch of the Thermage NXT changed all that. in our two week trial, we treated 22 clients, and many areas of the body. Every single client got a result, and the best part is that the immediate result is only 20% of the finished result with the new collagen and visible signs of skin tightening taking between 3 and 6 months to fully develop. Some of the client in the trials came back and paid for a second area to be treated, as they were so thrilled with the first!

Great results can be achieved on the face, neck and jaw line, under the eyes and on the body.

At Australian Skin Clinics, we consider the Thermage NXT to be the best available single treatment non-surgical procedure for skin tightening. Because there is no surgery involved, you will experience virtually no downtime and should return to normal activities immediately after the procedure.

Thermage FAQs

How long has Thermage been available?
The original Thermage device received clearance from the FDA in America in July 2002 but here at Australian Skin Clinics we were not convinced about the effectiveness of the first generation machine. We now have the Thermage NXT (second generation machine) and we are thrilled with the results we are getting.
How does Thermage work?
A handpiece with a smooth, flat tip delivers radio-frequency energy, in the form of heat, into the skin. This causes immediate tightening of existing collagen and then formation of new collagen over time resulting in further tightening
How long does the Thermage treatment take?
Depending on the area to be treated, the procedure will take 45 minutes to 1.5 hours.
What kind of results can I expect from Thermage?
Your skin can look smoother and more youthful as the tighter underlying collagen offers better support.
How soon will I see results?
Most patients see a result immediately. This initial result is about 20% of the final outcome with the other 80% developing over 2-6 months.
How long will the results of Thermage last?
The Thermage treatment causes an immediate tightening of existing collagen with the development of new collagen and additional tightening over time. Unpublished reports by experienced doctors indicate that results may last 18 months or longer depending on the patient’s natural aging process.
How many Thermage treatments will I need?
It typically takes just one treatment to give a nice effect. Some patients may choose to have another treatment to obtain additional tightening but re-treatment within 6 months is not effective as the stimulated collagen growth from the first treatment can take up to 6 months to have full effect.
Does it hurt?
At Australian Skin Clinics we will work with you to make the treatment as comfortable as possible. We recommend 2 paracetamol half an hour before treatment. If you feel that you need stronger pain relief than this, please discuss this at your initial consultation. The Thermage tip applies firstly a cooling spray followed by heating pulses, followed again by cooling. This cold-hot-cold sequence minimises pain.
Who performs the procedure?
At Australian Skin Clinics, only fully trained and experienced staff carry out the treatment.
Does Thermage replace a facelift?
No. Thermage can definitely tighten the skin but it won’t provide the same dramatic results of a surgical facelift. If you would like modest tightening of your skin without surgery then Thermage may be right for you. In addition, where skin is of poor healing quality, Thermage can be used to improve the texture in preparation for a future facelift.
Can I avoid other cosmetic procedures if I do this?
We believe that Thermage is the best skin tightening procedure available. It is a stand alone treatment for lose skin, but we are also seeing that Thermage can enhance the results of other treatments such as Platelet Rich Plasma Injections (PRP), Fraxel® laser Resurfacing and IPL.
Can I have Thermage if I’ve already had other procedures?
Generally yes, Thermage is compatible with most cosmetic procedures; but you will need to discuss your past procedures, as well as your current expectations, with our highly trained technicians.
Is it safe?
Yes, Thermage procedure is very safe. Of course, as with any procedure there is always some risk and we will discuss those with you during your consultation.

Pre Treatment

We recommend 2 paracetamol half an hour before treatment. If you feel that you need stronger pain relief than this, please discuss this at your initial consultation. The Thermage tip applies firstly a cooling spray followed by heating pulses, followed again by cooling. This cold-hot-cold sequence minimises pain.

Post Treatment

No. There is no special care needed after treatment and most patients return to their regular activities immediately after. Redness and/or minor swelling may occur, but it should disappear quickly and can be covered with mineral make-up. Our experienced staff can apply mineral makeup for you before you leave the clinic.
