Dallas Medical Practice Named the National Training Center for Thermage™ Technology

DALLAS, Nov. 4, 2010 /PRNewswire/ -- It's one of the safest, easiest, most affordable and effective non-surgical techniques to roll back the years on a patient's appearance. Thermage™ technology has quickly become one of the most popular cosmetic medical procedures nation-wide. And now a Dallas medical practice will become the national training center.

"We are delighted to share our knowledge with the nation," says Dr Bill Johnson, the Founder and Medial Director of Innovations Medical. "We have developed some highly specific and effective techniques, and when we were approached about this partnership with the developers of Thermage, we were delighted."

Solta Medical, based in Hayward California, patented the Thermage™ technology in 1997 and achieved FDA approval in 2002. Since then, the device has attained strong domestic and international acceptance as a premier technique for skin tightening and contouring. It uses radio frequency to heat deep layers of the skin. The intense radio frequency waves (RF) tighten sagging areas of the face and body by stimulating collagen production.

Innovations Medical, with locations in Dallas and Fort Worth, performs more Thermage™ procedures than any other practice in the U.S. The leadership at Solta Medical recently recognized Dr Johnson with the Pinnacle Award, the highest recognition given by the company. Innovations Medical now conducts, on average, at least a dozen Thermage™ procedures each week, often a dozen in one day.

"We only know more because we do more," says Dr. Johnson. "My staff is probably the most experienced Thermage™ team in the world. That's what has led to our unique approach, which Solta has decided to make into the 'Gold Standard' for Thermage™ technicians everywhere."

The first Thermage™ technicians to be trained at Innovations Medical will arrive in Dallas during November 2010 and spend three days with Dr. Johnson's staff, learning how to optimize both the efficiency and effectiveness of the Thermage™ procedures.
