Book NowWhat is Thermage FLX?
Thermage is a no-downtime nonsurgical radiofrequency tightening service and our top choice for lifting the upper and lower eyelid skin. The magic and science of Thermage lies in its ability to stimulate collagen production deep within the skin. As we age, collagen, the essential protein responsible for skin's elasticity starts to diminish, leading to sagging and wrinkles, and can be especially pronounced around our eyes.?
WHAT AREAS CAN I TREAT WITH THERMAGE?
In our clinics we most frequently use Thermage to treat the upper and lower eyelids.
WHO’S A CANDIDATE FOR THERMAGE?
Thermage is ideal for those interested in lifting and smoothing the delicate area around the eyes. It is safe for all skin types.Thermage treatments are usually performed 1x/every 6-12 months. Depending on the laxity severity and age, we offer a full suite of non-invasive tightening devices (Emface, Fotona, Sofwave, Ultherapy) that can be used in the interval. Your provider will discuss next steps for your customized treatment plan.

MINIMAL DOWNTIME, MAXIMUM RESULTS?
Most patients describe the heating sensation of Thermage as ‘spicy’ but tolerable. Due to the fact eye shields are required during treatment, we offer several options to increase comfort including antianxiety medication and/or Pronox (laughing gas). Thermage requires little to no downtime so you can quickly return to your daily routine.
Bay Area Cosmetic Dermatology Reviews
I always have the best experience here. From reception to the incredibly talented doctors and assistants .. it is always the best.
Dr. Welsh is the consummate skin care professional. She is thorough and inquisitive, extremely knowledgeable and informative. Her genuine concern for her patients is clear; and it is the hallmark of her practice. She is as lovely as she is brilliant. BACD treatment rooms share the widest possible variety of equipment designed to treat skin ailments. This investment by Dr. Welsh ensures that each patient will receive the specific and individual care best for the problem that brought them to her. If I could think of how to recommend her more highly, I would. I am grateful for the time Dr. welsh has accorded my family and me.
I have ordered Blink mascara twice from different sellers off Amazon and received products that are not "tubing" and instead flake off. This week I ordered/received "Blink" from Bay Area Cosmetic Dermatology and it is working as I remembered from the first time I tried it, not coming off in flakes, but in tubes. Thank you BACD for providing quality products. No "fakes" here!
After an excruciatingly long and painful search with multiple procedures around the world I finally found Dr. Austin at BACD, from scrolling Instagram no less! I began my journey with a plea to the front office staff to be treated by no one but her and after careful consideration was granted my request. I was clear in my initial consultation with Dr. Austin my priorities were progress and pain management, and even though there were some hiccups along the way, I'm glad we stayed the course. Dr. Austin attends conventions about my condition which primarily affects the highly melanated, and even though I've been treated by published specialists before, it's clear her approach is specialized and reflects the care and dedication she has to her patient's overall well-being. She involves students in her practice who hopefully will carry the torch for future generations to receive treatment and guidance from. Thank you, Dr. Austin!
I’ve been attending Bay Area Cosmetic Dermatologist for many years. All providers and their support staff are highly professional and supportive in their care. More recently, I’ve been seeing Steven He. M.D. and I would highly recommend him to anyone seeking an outstanding dermatologist who takes pride in his work.

WHEN WILL I SEE RESULTS FROM THERMAGE?
Your body responds to the pinpoint thermal injuries placed in the deep tissue by creating new collagen fibers. Collagen fiber formation takes place over several months, with full results expected 6 months after treatment. Ideally, patients will schedule a follow-up appointment at this 6-month mark, during which we will take a second set of photos and assess results with you. As with all of our in-office treatments, a strong topical skincare regimen will help to maximize the treatment results by further stimulating collagen fiber formation.
