PALM DESERT, Calif., Oct. 31 /PRNewswire/ -- A new method to tighten skin and smooth wrinkles around the eyes called the Thermage procedure is now available at the offices of The Vein Doctor in Palm Desert and Loma Linda, CA. Dr. Sanford Greenberg, Medical Director of The Vein Doctor Medical Group reports that for the first time, women and men seeking a more youthful appearance have the option of an aesthetic procedure that does not require invasive surgery, chemicals, needles or lasers.
"The prospect of treating sagging skin and wrinkles without incisions or downtime has great appeal to my patients here in the Coachella Valley and Loma Linda who are looking for subtle improvements or are not ready for a traditional face lift," says Dr. Greenberg. "The key is a sophisticated treatment tip that heats and cools the skin at the same time. It emits radio frequency energy to heat the collagen in the deeper skin layers while protecting the top layers with a cooling spray."

According to Dr. Greenberg, this heating action causes the deep structures of skin to tighten immediately. Over time, new collagen grows to further tighten skin and produce a more youthful appearance. Because treatment occurs at the fundamental level of tissue construction, the results are more significant than superficial remedies for aging and sun-damaged skin.

Dr. Greenberg likens the Thermage process to that of pulling on a rope at one end to gradually remove the slack. The procedure typically takes about 30 minutes or less, and patients can return to their regular activities immediately following treatment."

"I call it the face lift of the future -- no needles, no cutting and no downtime. I have been a physician for over 20 years and I have to say this is one of the most exciting pieces of medical technology I have seen in a long time," says Dr. Greenberg.
