Slackness of Facial Skin
Seven symptoms of facial slackness and aging:
Wee wrinkle around eyes
Blepharoptosis
Eyebrow ptosis
Nasolabial groove become deep
Corners of the mouth ptosis
Underjaw outline is vague
Double chin
Thermolift is suitable for:
Face:
Thin face
Eyes surrounding cure (lift eyebrow, wee wrinkle around eyes)
Firm skin in entire face
Body:
postpartum, post-liposuction repair,
Ameliorate orange peel in thigh and buttock
How does thermolift heat skin tissue?
Frequency: 40.68MHz (RF wave alternates 40,000,000 times every second)
It heats target tissue-polarity water molecule, makes it rotate in high speed and rub mutually under the function of alternating electric field, produce heat in order to achieve the aim of heating subdermal collagen and accelerating fat metabolism and melt.
Heat in superficial layer (depth of penetration: 2-4mm)
Advantage: unique designed annular double pole makes heating more homogeneous
Single pole elaborate cure around eyes
It is designed according to outline skin around eyes, its compactness to skin around eyes is good; unique heating mode can ensure patient's comfort on the premise of therapeutic effectively.
The change of skin after curing by thermolift
Lift: in ordered connective tissue (muscle tendon, aponeurosis, superficial fascia and so on), collagen structure arrange parallelly and mutually, after heating, they will shrink longitudinally (aiming at targeting area) to lift slack and sagging skin.
The change of skin after curing by thermolift
Compacting feeling: the arrangement of dermal collagenous fiber is without specific direction, it is like a cube structure with large area shrinking centrally after being heated homogeneously, thus brings the compacting feeling after cure.

Acceleration of fat metabolism
Acceleration of enzymatic reaction-Q10 theory: the influence of temperature to enzymatic reaction, in optimum temperature, among all kinds of enzyme, enzymatic activity is the strongest, the speed of enzymatic reaction is the quickest. In optimum temperature, the speed of enzymatic reaction can enhance 1~2 times when temperature rise 10ºC.
Acceleration of metabolism
Rising of temperature inside body can break connecting key between oxygen and hemoglobin to release more oxygen into blood to participate in fat metabolism;
Tissue heating can cause hemangiectasis, acceleration of blood flow velocity, lymphatic drainage, so it can strengthen transportation capability of adipocyte metabolite and accelerate fat metabolism;

New collagen generating, aged skin be repaired more:
New collagen generating: 3 days to 1 month after cure, fibroblast release collagen continuously, new collagen compound continuously, collagen layer will be supplemented;
Collagen consolidation period: 1-3 months after cure, along with the neogenesis of collagen, number becoming more, arrangement becoming tighter, damaged collagen layer will be supplemented, aging and slack skin will be repaired more.
Therapeutic security-design, temperature monitoring
1. In design, the handle possesses protective device in order to protect epidermis effectively;
2. During cure, temperature can be monitored by thermodetector and controlled within safe scope of therapeutic temperature;
3. Heating temperature is controlled strictly within 42-43ºC, the temperature is entirely perceivable, tolerant for human body.
Facial therapeutic program of thermolift
Thinning face
Eyes around cure
Firming skin of entire face
Adaptation disease of thinning face
Slack skin in underjaw area
Vague underjaw outline
Fat accumulation in cheek, underjaw area
Adaptation disease of eyes around cure
Slack skin in upper eyelid
Wee wrinkle around eyes
1/3 of skin outside eyebrow ptosis
Adaptation disease of firming skin of entire face
Slackness or ptosis in entire face (but the degree is lighter than curer of thinning face and eyes around cure); want to maintain current skin condition.
Communication before cure
1. Inquire past medical history to eliminate therapeutic contraindication:
A. Pregnant women;
B. Patients who get skin tumor, active skin disease;
C. People who have implanted electronic instrument such as heart pacemaker, automatical defibrillator.
D. Don't cure the plastic filling part;
E. Common contraindication of other beautifying cure.
2. Guide patient to hold mirror, observe existing factual problem of skin with patient, and communicate about possible change of skin after cure.
3. Formulate individualized therapeutic schedule according to patients' skin problem, include curing area, curing parameters, important strengthening part, course of treatment allocation, etc.
4. Sign informed consent.
Preparation before cure
1. Remove all metal decorations worn in body;
2. Cleaning
Use cleanser to clean completely cosmetic including sun screen, sunscreen cream and so on in skin, and wipe it by facial cleaning paper without woven, keep dry and anhydrous.
Skin reaction observed when cure is ended
Skin reaction observed when cure is ended: erythema, slight edema (individual difference)
Nursing after cure
1. It is advised to use warm water immediately to clean curing area completely while curing;
2. Provide moisture masque for 3-5 days;
3. Avoid sauna on that day of curing (prevent water loss from causing dryness to skin);
4. Drink at least 1 cup of warm water immediately after cure, drink 6-8 cups (300ml/cup) of water within 24 hours;
5. Routine sun block.
Advised course of treatment
Interval of course of treatment: 1 time every fortnight
Course of treatment: 4-6 times of cure every course of treatment (it can be adjusted flexibly according to patient's skin problem and satisficing)
Common problems of thermolift in facial cure
Q: Is it painful during thermolift microwave curing?
A: It is painless, there will be obvious hot feeling in curing area.
If operation is unskilled, skin discomfort which may be caused are as follow:
Hotting: there are too many superposition of sliding track;
Pricking: curing handle is not adjoined skin completely.
Q: How does the security of thermolift microwave embody during cure?
A: 1. in design, there is protector which can protect epidermis effectively in handle.
2. the temperature during cure can be supervised by thermodetector;
3. as for patient's self-feeling, if he or she feel too hot, there will be conditioned reflex, it will remind operator to adjust flexibly technique and therapeutic energy.
Thermolift microwave has past certifications of American FDA, European CE, Chinese SFDA, it is used in more than 70 countries and regions. Up to now, it has no any record of untoward effect in FDA.
Q: How does thermolift select curing power and total energy clinically?
A: The selection of power depends on patient's tolerance degree of hot, in general, it will select the highest power patient can tolerate.
The power which is used to maintain temperature depends on individual skin problem, for instance, in thinning face program, if there are too much fat in 1st area, the unipolar total energy which is used to maintain temperature can be increased in the basic of recommended therapeutic parameters, the double pole maintain primary energy. If fat is less, it is needed to reduce the unipolar total energy which is used to maintain temperature in the basic of recommended therapeutic parameters, while the double pole can reduce or maintain primary energy according to degree of skin slackness.
Q: How long is the best period of single radiofrequency curing?
A: The curing time of different curing program are different, so it only need to conform to therapeutic parameters. It is not the longer time, the better effect.
Q: How many times is suitable for radiofrequency cure?
A: Average curing times is 5, more times of curing has no any side-effect to skin. According to the degree of patient's skin problem, 5-10 times is allowable.
Q: Will radiofrequency curing cause sensitivity to skin?
A: 1)No, unless patient get sensitive skin before;
2)If patient get sensitive skin before, it is advised to postpone cure, patient's sensitive skin should be reduced through other cure first (high sensitive→medium sensitive→slight sensitive→not sensitive), then consider the cure; because whatever laser or physical cure, they stimulate skin. Symptom of sensitive skin are hotness, erythema, itch, taut feeling and so on (the uncomfortable feeling here happens when alternating cooling and heating). Since radiofrequency is a kind of heating process, so it is advised to cure after skin condition recovering better, and the power and accumulated energy during cure shouldn't be too high.
Q: How long will patient see the effect after curing by thermolift microwave?
A: The effect of thermolift is divided into instant curative effect and long term curative effect:
Instant curative effect: after cure, it will cause taut feeling because collagenous fiber is heated and shrink instantly, it will last for about 3 days;
Long term curative effect: there are two phrases:
New collagen generating period: 3 days to 1 month after cure, fibroblast release collagen continuously, new collagen compound continuously, collagen layer will be supplemented;
Collagen consolidation period: 1-3 months after cure, along with the neogenesis of collagen, number becoming more, arrangement becoming tighter, slack skin becoming tauter, glossiness and color will be changed greatly.
