How to Treat Crow's Feet With Thermage

Thermage is a non-invasive procedure that tightens your skin and promote collagen growth. Doctors use capacitive radiofrequency technology to lift the skin and smooth wrinkles. It's especially effective on crow's feet. Patients feel a warm sensation as the CRF penetrates your skin.

Instructions

1. Read up on Thermage. You want to be an informed patient. Compare it to other treatments, such as lasers and botox.

2. Find a qualified doctor who specializes in cosmetic procedures. Call around to cosmetic surgeons' offices. Ask if the doctor regularly performs Thermage.

3. Get a consultation with the physician. Discuss your crow's feet and your hopes of tightening them. Ask if your expectation are realistic.

4. Discuss a treatment plan to get rid of your crow's feet.

5. Choose a physician you feel most comfortable and confident about. Make sure he's certified and well-practiced in Thermage.

6. Sit for a treatment session. It will take anywhere from 20 minutes to two hours, depending on the severity of your crow's feet.

7. Go back to work. There's no downtime needed to recover, so you can go about your normal activities.
