The New Thermacool Skin Lift Procedure
Recently featured on the KGO TV news, Dr. Newman demonstrated the Thermacool procedure which represents a new advance in modern plastic surgery by tightening skin without the use of a knife or laser.  Dr. Newman is one of the first plastic surgeons in the country to bring this new and innovative procedure to his
patients.  To learn more about the benefits of this treatment, please visit our Thermacool page or call us at 650-340-7200.

Gentle Heating Is The Key----Now Showing Results at 2 years!
The Thermacool Skin Lift procedure works by delivering a volumetric and uniform heating effect to the deep dermis via a unique form of radio frequency energy. The procedure is intended to cause immediate collagen contraction followed by gradual collagen tightening to lift skin without wounding the epidermis (top skin layer). Simultaneously a cryogen spray cools the skin's surface before, during and after each radio frequency pulse to further protect the epidermis.

Before the introduction of the Thermacool, we have been able to tighten and reduce wrinkles around the thin skin of the eye lid area with our COOL TOUCH Laser System. This has been a very popular treatment because of the no downtime effects from the treatment. We have confirmed positive effects on the skin by collagen enhancement and reversal of sun damage with a procedure performed with only topical anesthetic cream.

Dr. Newman is excited about the results seen to date with the THERMACOOL procedure because of the ability of this technology to treat the deeper layers of the skin while keeping the outer surface completely intact similar to the COOL TOUCH LASER. Our office has the longest term follow up of patient treated with the THERMACOOL with results showing lasting results for up to 2 years!

We are now able to offer patients who are younger and beginning to notice the early signs of aging a completely non surgical approach to maintaining their youthful appearance.

Just One Treatment To Younger Looking Skin
The THERMACOOL SKIN LIFT PROCEDURE is offered as an outpatient procedure which usually takes 2 hours in our office. Topical anesthetic creams are used without the need for shots. The most common treatment covers the entire face and neck. Regional treatments can also be performed to target areas such as drooping forehead, crow's feet lines and sagging neck skin. Patients who begin to notice looseness around the jowls or cheek areas as well as drooping eyes can benefit from the treatment. People with more advanced signs of aging are going to benefit from minimally invasive surgical procedures such as Dr. Newman's endoscopic forehead lift or mini-facelift.

One of the biggest advantages for Dr. Newman's patients is the fact that our office offers more choices today to reverse and slow down the outward signs of aging. Because Dr. Newman performs the the full range of procedures we can customize a program for people in all stages of their life including men.

The cost of the New Thermacool Procedure with Fast Tip Technology and Dr. Newman's custom treatment patterns begins at $1500 for a specific area of the face and goes to $3500 for the full face and neck. The majority of patients see results after 4 weeks with peak results achieved at 3-4 months after treatment. Clinical results remain evident for one year and our long term patients are showing results at 2 years. The best candidates for the Thermacool are patients in the early stages of skin loosening and formation of jowls usually in the 3rd to 4th decade of life. Age alone is not the only criteria for selection; Skin quality and degree of sun damage and facial volume are important criteria for Dr. Newman to evaluate.
