Thermage® And Aluma™
The very moment we meet a someone new, we begin collecting visual clues regarding their youth, vitality and overall well-being—it’s human nature. Young skin is easy to recognize. It’s tighter, firmer and has a “fuller” appearance. But over time, factors like age, sun exposure, and genetic predisposition rob the skin of these youthful qualities.
Dr. Sinha offers Thermage and Aluma—state-of-the-art skin tightening lasers gently turn back the hands of time, without taking too much of yours. These non-invasive, non-surgical facelift alternatives require only a single treatment and no downtime.
Thermage Laser Skin Tightening
Collagen stimulation is your skin’s greatest ally in the fight to keep or restore the supple, full contours that are synonymous with youth. The revolutionary laser therapy, Thermage, was developed to diminish the signs of aging by increasing natural collagen in deep layers that support of the skin, without affecting the surface of the skin.
Thermage uses radio frequency (RF) energy to safely and comfortably heat the dermis (where the collagen lies), while cooling and protecting the outer layer of skin. It’s designed to cause immediate contraction of collagen, which prompts new collagen production over a period of time. This means that your results will continue to develop for several months after receiving Thermage laser skin treatment. The final result: skin that is subtlety tighter, fuller, and uplifted.
Thermage Procedure
During a Thermage skin laser treatment there is an immediate cool sensation, followed by a brief hot sensation, followed by a cool sensation. Dr. Sinha prescribes appropriate pain reduction methods as necessary. The treatment takes only about an hour, making it a popular “lunchtime” non-surgical facelift.
Thermage Recovery
You may return to your normal activities immediately, as there is usually no downtime. Minimal redness is seen in some patients but it usually disappears shortly after treatment. There is no special care needed after treatment. In most patients, results appear gradually over 2-6 months, although many patients see an earlier response, with more youthful facial contours continuing to take shape for several additional months.
About Aluma Laser Skin Treatment
This revolutionary wrinkle reduction technology uses FACES (Functional Aspiration Controlled Electrothermal Stimulation) to bypass the epidermis and stimulate the existing collogen under the surface of the skin. A patented vacuum system is used to isolate the exact area to be treated in order to produce results that are predicable and precise. Aluma produces natural-looking skin tightening and more youthful facial contours.
Skin laser treatments, like Thermage and Aluma, are often used in combination with other non-surgical facelift alternatives, like Botox, Juvaderm and Radiesse. For your convenience, all of these leading facial solutions are available under one roof, at Dr. Sinha’s Aesthetic Solutions Center in Atlanta.

Thermage and Aluma offer a non-downtime, non-invasive solution for collagen rejuvenation. Each skin tightening system is specifically designed to offer unique benefits and results. One system may be better suited to a particular patient’s needs than another.
