Abstract
Our patients are increasingly focused on improving their appearance without any time necessary for healing. They are often even willing to achieve a less dramatic result and to return for multiple treatment sessions in exchange for a no downtime procedure. Thus, new and effective non-invasive techniques have become eminently important. The course of twenty consecutive patients were reviewed retrospectively. Prelimary results following radiofrequency enhanced Therma-lifting (Thermage, Hayward, Ca) indicate that facial tightening, eyebrow lifting and neck lifting can be achieved without visible skin inflammation or bruising.
