Description
Thermage coupling fluid works by improving the conductive properties of the skin, which enhances the transfer of radiofrequency energy to the targeted tissues. It creates a barrier between the skin surface and the radiofrequency device, which allows for more precise and controlled delivery of the energy. This results in better heating of the skin tissues, which stimulates collagen production and improves skin texture.
Why is it important?
Thermage coupling fluid is an important part of the Thermage treatment because it helps to ensure that the radiofrequency energy is delivered effectively to the skin. Without the use of coupling fluid, the energy may not be able to penetrate the skin adequately, resulting in less effective results. Using the coupling fluid also helps to minimize discomfort and reduce the risk of skin damage during the procedure.
How is it applied?
Thermage coupling fluid is applied to the skin in a thin layer prior to the radiofrequency treatment. It is typically applied using a handheld applicator that dispenses the gel evenly over the targeted areas. The gel may also be applied manually using a brush, depending on the preferences of the practitioner. After the treatment, the coupling fluid is wiped off of the skin using a damp cloth.
Tips for using Thermage coupling fluid
To ensure the best results with the Thermage treatment, it is important to use the coupling fluid correctly. Some tips to keep in mind include applying a thin layer of gel over the entire treatment area, avoiding excessive use of the gel, and ensuring that the skin is free of any oils, lotions, or makeup before the treatment. It is also important to follow the specific guidelines provided by the Thermage manufacturer for optimal use of the coupling fluid.
