My visit to Tiffiny Yang's clinic brought about a lovely surprise! They have expanded and revamped. Place is so much bigger, more posh and painted in hues of their signature Tiffiny turquoise colour. The nurses are donned in girly, sweet uniforms too! What a lovely sight!
Approximately one month ago, I visited Tiffiny Yang's clinic for my thermage skin tightening, face slimming treatment! I was absolutely excited before and during the treatment because Thermage uses medical grade radiofrequency skin tightening, resulting in a slimmer, more defined jawline and it actually complements botox. Read on for more details and pictures.
What is Thermage?
Thermage is a safe, non-invasive procedure that is clinically proven to help smooth, tighten and contour skin for an overall younger looking appearance. The treatment delivers natural looking results with little to no downtime – on all skin colours, on and off the face, all in a single procedure. Since there is no surgery involved you can generally return to normal activities immediately following the procedure. It has been approved by the FDA since 2002 and available only in the doctor’s office. The latest Thermage procedure offers Comfort Pulse Technology, significantly improving treatment comfort. It works on all skin types.
How does it work?
Thermage is a deep heating technology that uses radiofrequency (RF) to heat the skin. A smooth flat tip delivers Thermage’s unique radiofrequency technology, which safely heats the deep collagen-rich layers of the skin. This heat helps to tighten existing collagen that have become loose with age and stimulate the formation of new collagen over time, which reverses sagging, renews contours and improves the thickness and texture of your skin.
Each treatment takes about 45 minutes to 1 hour for the face. Only a single treatment is usually sufficient to deliver results.
Numbing cream was applied all over the lower half of my face and it takes around 20-30 minutes for it to set.
I was ushered to the comfortable waiting area and I passed my time by reading the informative books on aesthetics and beauty.
I noticed that after a few minutes, the numbing cream starts to become invisible and my skin feels slightly numb, especially the area around my lips, which only means that the numbing cream is taking effect.
When the time came, I entered the treatment room. The above pic is actually the thermage equipment used to carry out the treatment.
This is the tip that will be used to deliver the radiofrequency for thermage.
Square markings were imprinted on my face to assist the doctor with the process. I look like a map, lol.
Each time the treatment tip is applied, there will first be a brief cooling sensation, followed by a brief heating sensation and finally by another cooling sensation. The heating sensation is a sign that the deep layers of the skin are reaching effective temperatures for tightening, whereas the cooling sensation protects the topmost layer of the skin so it prevents blisters. Heat is absolutely essential to see skin tightening results. You may feedback to your treating physician on the level of heat to help maximize your comfort while maximizing results. Vibration of the tip also helps to reduce discomfort.
After around 45 minutes, the whole process was completed. There was slight discomfort and burning sensations during the process but everything was bearable because if it gets too hot, you can always let the doctor know and what she will do is to stop for a while so that everything cools down.
And my skin DID FEEL VISIBLY TIGHTER IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE TREATMENT. I was really really surprised and very pleased with the results because i did not expect immediate results. I touched my face and it felt really different and smaller!!!
Best thing is, results continue to IMPROVE OVER TIME as the body rebuilds natural collagen and only ONE THERMAGE TREATMENT is needed for lasting results of 6-12 months. In most patients, measurable tightening and contouring gradually appears in 2 to 6 months following a single treatment session. Results can last for 1-2 years depending on your skin condition and the process of aging. It’s setting the clock back, but not stopping the clock. This is seriously awesome!!!

And recently, i received compliments that I look more radiant now and that my face is sharper too!
Thank you so much lovely Doctors, I always enjoyed my treatments here because I know I will be very well taken care of and I always leave as a very very happy customer :)
