Radiage is one of the latest non-ablative procedures for skin rejuvenation. It is not a laser. It is a Patented Radio Frequency System. The advanced Cool-Gel incorporates a cryo-gel to cool the skin’s outer surface while the RF energy slightly heats and modifies the soft tissues beneath the skin. This causes the collagen to contract and thighten. This is an office procedure that is quick with virtually no down time. You can go back to work immediately.
Benefits of Radiage over other procedures & surgery
- It is non-invasive. There is no incision and no tissue damage.
- A level of control can be achieved that is difficult with other treatments.
- There is no bleeding or bruising and the risk of scarring is minimal.
- It can be combined with other rejuvenation modalities.
Recovery
Basically, there is no recovery time as necessary in invasive cosmetic surgery. You may resume all normal activities immediately. Sligh redness may be seen for less than an hour and no more than 24 hours. The full effect of your treatment develops over a few months following the procedure and can be expected to last for one to three years. This varies from patient to patient. As with any cosmetic procedure, the results can be expected to fade gradually over time, at which time the procedure may be repeated if desired.
