Injectable RF for Frown Lines
LONG-TERM ALTERNATIVE TO NEUROTOXINS
ThermiRase is a micro-invasive procedure to disable the nerves which control the muscles responsible for glabella frown lines. This procedure applies radio frequency energy to selected nerves.
With ThermiRase, a series of thermal lesions are created along the nerve pathways which control the muscles that cause frown lines. The effect is immediate.
How ThermiRase works
First, the physician will map the nerves using an external nerve stimulator. This will help him to know where to create the lesions during the procedure.
Next, the physician insert the ThermiRF SmartTipTM probe with Injector PortTM under the skin and begin to create lesions along the mapped nerve pathway.
Lesioning is done in three steps:
- Stimulate (locate the nerve)
- Inject a drop of local anesthesia
- Treat – apply heat for about 1 minute
This process is repeated several times until the patient is unable to make a frown.
