Supermodel Linda Evangelista, who said: “For me, it’s for enhancement, like hair colour or make-up.”

What is it that these celebrity beauties are flocking for?

Thermage tightens and smooth the top layer of the skin by plumping up the lower layers in order to boost the levels of the collagen in the lower layers of the skin to create a tightening effect.

Amanda Holden’s Doctor , Dr Rita Rakus says: ‘Thermage is a radiofrequency skin tightening treatment that heats the deepest layers of your skin to help tighten existing collagen and stimulate the body’s natural renewal of collagen. ..It’s perfect for targeting wrinkles and fine lines around the mouth, eyes or forehead, and further on in the ageing process Thermage is great for decreasing hooding in the eye area, tightening loose jowls and creating definition in the jawline, as well as firming up sagging skin under the chin. …This creates subtle, natural looking results like smoother, tighter skin, softened wrinkles and lines and an overall younger looking appearance, without having to go under the knife.”
