ThermiRase wrinkle treatment

Deep wrinkles between the brows ("frown lines") and near the eyes ("goosefoot"), as well as forehead wrinkles, are more evident when generated by vigorous muscle action. BOTOX, which inactivates the muscles responsible for moving the muscles that generate wrinkles, has been the remedy up until now. The impact of these chemical neurotransmitters lasts 3-4 months on average.

A new procedure that tackles the identical problems is now available; the effects are obvious immediately after treatment, the effect lasts longer, and it does not require the injection of a toxin. ThermiRaseTM is the name of the innovative procedure, which utilizes an RF radiofrequency device. The operation normally takes less than an hour and the results last up to 18 months (which is 6 times longer than Botox).

The FDA has cleared the ThermiRF, a specific radio frequency device developed in the United States. Cardiology, dermatology, and pain treatment have all employed radio frequencies for years. ThermiRase TM, a minimally invasive procedure that uses radiofrequency heat to target specific tissues, is performed with the ThermiRF system.

ThermiRase TM is a minimally invasive process that involves the inactivation of nerves that govern the lines of the intercostal muscles. Radiofrequency energy is applied to specific nerves in this procedure. In a recent research, almost 80% of patients had an effect that lasted more than 18 months.

Some patients who desire to lift their brows with Botox and ThermiRase continue to do so because the two procedures have separate mechanisms of action. Some claim that combining the two treatments yields a more comprehensive and long-lasting solution that can last up to three years. ThermiRase must be performed first in these situations before Botox.

The extended duration in the outcome occurs endogenously in proportion to the tissue, with collagen formation and filling of all wrinkles, such that by the end of ThermiRase's action, wrinkles are less than 20% of what they were before.
