October 25, 2007 -- Thermage's new Body Shape procedure is a non-invasive treatment that can help tighten, firm and shape the body in just one session, without surgery or injections and little to no downtime. This new modality significantly widens the field of good candidates for Thermage. Early feedback from doctors using the new ThermaTip DC has been very positive.
Dallas physician Dr. Jeffrey Adelglass, the Medical Director of SKINTASTIC Medical & Surgical Rejuvenation Center in North Dallas has had the new Body Shape for some time and recently presented his findings and techniques at a physician training seminar in Houston.
Dr. Adelglass' stated that "achieving non-surgical body fat and skin tightening improvements in just one treatment is what most aesthetic technologies aspire to. As one of the first centers to treat with the newly-released Thermage Deep Tip, we are confident that it will soon become the standard for noninvasive body contouring - other current (non-surgical or injection) treatment modalities simply do not compare."
Virginia T. Stevens, MD, of Woodinville, WA, has treated more patients with Thermage for the body than any other physician in the United States, and participated in early testing of the new Body Shape treatment.
"The new deep tissue Thermage tip produces prompt contouring changes and skin tightening to a greater degree than previously possible. This is the most potent Thermage treatment to date, which means patients can look forward to more predictable, rapid improvement of fat contours and loose skin." Dr. Stevens will be speaking on behalf of Thermage, Inc. in Houston, Texas on November 3, 2007.
The introduction of Body Shape follows several other popular new treatments by Thermage, including Lips by Thermage for plumping and smoothing of the lips without injections. With treatment options for face, eyelids, body, tummy, lips, arms, thighs, and now body contouring, Thermage has clearly established itself as the industry leader for skin tightening.
Dr. Thomas Powers, M.D., DIVA Medical, Westminster, CA says "I am experiencing immediate impressive results with the new Lips by Thermage. I recently treated a 52 year old patient and her lips plumped up 10-15% immediately, and the fine lines around her lips improved. The area then continues to improve for up to 6 months. For the patient that doesn't want injections every 6-9 months. this is a great option and should last up to 3 years. Every patient I have treated has had good results, and it's ideal for men too."
