The Causes of Aging Skin

The causes of aging skin are two-fold. First, skin cell regeneration slows down as we get older. Dead skin cells start building up on the surface, causing a dull complexion; scars take longer to heal, causing uneven skin texture; and sun damage isn’t corrected as quickly, resulting in uneven skin tone. Second, collagen and elastin production slow down, making the skin appear less plump (collagen), so the face develops wrinkles, folds, and hollow areas; and less elastic (elastin), so the skin starts to sag.

ThemaFrax combo treatment in Scottsdale is reversing the process. The visible damage caused by the slowing of our bodies’ ability to heal itself and regenerate youthful building blocks can be dramatic, if we let it. But we have numerous tools in our anti-aging toolbox to halt this damage in its tracks. This includes Thermafrax.

How Thermafrax Combats the Signs of Aging

Thermage and Fraxel can be used individually, depending on your needs. Each requires a series of treatments to see full results.

The Thermafrax Combination

With ThermaFrax combo treatment, we combine these two proven anti-aging technologies to target and treat multiple signs of aging.

First, we perform Thermage on the affected area to stimulate skin tightening and collagen production. Following the treatment, Fraxel is immediately performed to trigger skin cell turnover and healing. We will then perform two more rounds of Fraxel, each spaced out one month apart.

Following your completed ThermaFrax series, you will begin to see gradual improvements in your skin’s tightness, texture, and color. Scars and fine lines will diminish, as will the signs of sun damage and other skin pigmentation irregularities. After ThermaFrax combo treatment in Scottsdale, your pores will also appear tighter, and facial laxity around the eyes and along the jawline will be improved.

Thermage for Skin Tightening and Plumping

Thermage uses radiofrequency technology to stimulate and tighten three layers of skin, providing consistent results and long-term anti-aging. By stimulating collagen production beneath the skin, the skin isn’t just tightened, it’s rejuvenated as the collagen growth helps restore youthful fullness.

Complementing Thermafrax With Other Treatments

Some patients benefit from adding fillers to their treatment protocol following their completed ThermaFrax combo treatment. Fillers can help stimulate more collagen production, and some will even reintroduce hyaluronic acid. Like collagen, hyaluronic acid diminishes as we age, contributing to thinning lips and facial hollowness, folds, and wrinkles. As always, we recommend routine facials, daily sun protection, and a solid home skincare routine with products proven to work with your skin type and anti-aging goals.

Kyla M.

I originally bought a Groupon to try out this laser spa and was immediately impressed that they have you meet with an NP (which most places don’t do), so this made me feel more at ease with their laser practices. I love that they schedule even on Saturdays which works best for my schedule and that I have the reassurance of seeing the same person each time I come for my appointment. Highly Recommend!

ThermaFrax FAQs

How long does a full ThermaFrax treatment plan take to complete?

Most patients complete the full series over a few months, since follow-up sessions are spaced out to allow the skin time to heal and regenerate between treatments.

Is there downtime after each session?

You may experience temporary redness, swelling, or light peeling for a few days, but most people resume normal activities shortly after treatment.

Who is an ideal candidate for ThermaFrax?

It’s best suited for individuals with mild to moderate signs of aging who want noticeable improvement without surgery or extended recovery time.

When will I start seeing visible improvements?

Some changes may appear within a few weeks, but the most noticeable results develop gradually over several months as collagen continues to rebuild.

Can ThermaFrax be combined with other cosmetic treatments?

Yes, providers may recommend pairing it with treatments like dermal fillers or medical-grade skincare to enhance and maintain overall results.
