Warrenton Dermatology is pleased to announce the addition of Thermage the "non surgical skin-tightening" procedure to the practice. Using an advanced form of radiofrequency technology, Thermage Thermacool is the first incision free device, with no down time, that actually tightens deep structures of existing collagen, while protecting the skins surface with cooling. This leads to a natural growth of new collagen fibers, the most abundant protein in the skin, to help firm skin and smooth wrinkles.

Unlike many other procedures requiring four or more sessions, a single Thermage treatment leads to the tightening described above. The results may take between 2 to 6 months to occur, but some patients have noted an earlier response. Since the procedure actually leads to new collagen made by patients own body, results may last 2 years or longer based on patient's natural aging process.
