Skin Tightening Treatments

Thermage Non-Surgical Face Lift – NO Incisions, NO Down Time

Look younger without plastic surgery! The days of going under the knife to achieve tighter, smoother, firmer younger looking skin are history. Thank you technology! Now it’s possible to take years off your appearance with clinically proven Thermage.

Thermage is a safe, non-invasive treatment used to tighten the skin, reduce wrinkles and stimulate new collagen production on your face, tummy, buttocks, thighs, hands or arms. Thermage improves the tone, contour, and texture of your entire face, effectively treating your forehead, eyes, nasolabial folds, jaw line, jowls and the area under your chin.

The skin on your face is made up of three layers. The layer you see is called the epidermis, just beneath the epidermis is a collagen-rich layer called the dermis, and the deepest layer is called the subcutaneous layer or “fat layer”.

Thermage tightens and renews your skin’s collagen in all three layers. Thermage’s unique Capacitive Radio Frequency (CRF) technology safely heats your skin’s under layer and the web of collagen in the inner layer, causing an immediate tightening as well as improved tone and texture.  Improvements will continue for four to six months following treatment as new collagen grows.

Thermage can be performed in just one session lasting from 20 minutes to two hours, depending on the area being treated. No anesthesia is required. However, our talented Michigan facial plastic surgeons may offer light pain medications prior to treatment to make sure you are comfortable.

During the treatment you’ll feel a brief heat sensation each time Thermage delivers radio frequency energy to the under layer of your skin. This indicates that your collagen is being stimulated and tightened.

Side effects are generally mild after a Thermage treatment and your skin may be slightly red or swollen.* Most people resume regular activities immediately after treatment, with no downtime or special follow-up care.

With Thermage, you should feel and see immediate results. Your skin will look and feel smoother, firmer, and tighter right after your Thermage treatment.* As your skin produces new collagen, contouring and tightening will continue for up to six months, revealing a more youthful and healthy appearance with long-term results.

Thermage is incision-free, fast, easy and requires no downtime. Take the first step to a younger look call Allure Medical today for a free consultation.

Thermage treatments cost $1,800, but are available as low as $900 for a session when added to an Allure Medical Magic Lift package.

Ultherapy Treatment

Introducing Ulthera® – A non-invasive face and neck lift treatment

Not an injection… not a laser… the Ulthera System utilizes ultrasound technology to treat the skin’s deep support structures, gradually strengthening the skin from deep within to create a natural lift and tone.

Ultherapy emits direct sound waves deep under the skin, gently heating the tissue to lift and tighten loose skin without disrupting the skin’s surface. Ultherapy stimulates the creation of new collagen, which helps the skin maintain its youthfulness.

Ultherapy lifts, tightens, and tones loose skin to counteract the effects of time and gravity. Ultherapy will lift the brow, which in turn reduces the excess skin on the lids, opens up the eyes and gives a more refreshed appearance.

The procedure can be done in 30 to 60 minutes and uses the body’s own subtle healing response to restore memory to the skin and its underlying tissue. Offered in Livonia, Clarkston, Southgate and Shelby Township, Ultherapy typically only takes one treatment to see results.* Although you will see some initial effect immediately following the procedure, the ultimate lifting will take 2 – 3 months, as collagen is rejuvenated with new, stronger collagen.

Ultherapy offers a natural, ‘no downtime’ approach to noticeably improving sagging skin.

There can be some discomfort while the energy is being delivered, but it is temporary and a signal that the collagen-building process has been initiated. Comfort thresholds vary from patient to patient.

You are able to return to your normal activities right away. Your skin may appear a bit flushed immediately after the treatment, but any redness should disappear within a few hours. It is not uncommon to experience slight swelling for a few days following the procedure or tingling/tenderness to the touch for a few days to weeks following the procedure, but these are mild and temporary in nature.*

Ulthera treatments cost $2,800, but are available as low as $2,000 when purchased as an add-on to an Allure Medical Magic Lift package.
