Noninvasive Techniques for Management of Aging Skin

Both of these treatments target the deep layer of skin using a heating process to tighten pre-existing collagen and stimulate new collagen production. This technique is good for younger women with good skin elasticity who have early changes associated with aging, Dr. Henderson explained. Be aware that heavy faces don’t have as good results as thinner ones, Dr. Larrabee added.

Thermage treatment entails a series of two to four sessions, three to four weeks apart, followed by an annual treatment. The cost for the series is about $2000 to $3000, and all skin types can benefit from thermage.
