Actress-singer Gwyneth Paltrow, 40, is no stranger to being in front of an audience. With so many eyes constantly watching her, she wants her face to be as young and wrinkle-free as possible, but she hasn’t had any plastic surgery yet. To look younger, Gwyneth recently used Thermage, a laser procedure used to decrease wrinkles, and is really happy with the great results.
“I don’t mind a few wrinkles and freckles,” Gwyneth said in a recent interview with Daily Mail. “I had this laser treatment recently, Thermage, and it took a couple of years off my face but I haven’t had any plastic surgery yet.”
Gwyneth talks about Thermage in Harper’s Bazaar Magazine
“I really used to be bad with products, but now I exfoliate every night and use a lot of organic oils on my face,” she confides. (She’s a Sonya Dakar fan.) “And I have a great dermatologist in L.A. who gave me this amazing laser the last time I was there. It’s called Thermage. It’s not invasive. I went out to dinner right afterward and I didn’t look crazy, but it’s quite painful. It feels like someone’s smacking your face with a rubber band that has an electric shock in it. But I would do it again, because I feel like it took five years off my face.”
As it happens, Paltrow and the interviewer share a London holistic facialist (Vaishaly Patel), which leads to talk of the lifestyle contradictions presented by the high-tech temptations of the beauty business. “I think it’s a mix,” she says honestly. “You know, I use organic products, but I get lasers.”

Sofwave: A Modern Alternative to Thermage
While FACES+ does not currently offer Thermage treatments, we are proud to provide our patients with Sofwave—a cutting-edge, non-invasive ultrasound technology designed to tighten skin, reduce wrinkles, and restore youthful contours with minimal discomfort or downtime.
Why We Chose Sofwave
Although Thermage has been FDA-cleared for non-invasive facial wrinkle treatment using radiofrequency energy, we believe Sofwave offers our patients superior outcomes thanks to its Synchronous Ultrasound Parallel Beam (SUPERB™) technology.

At FACES+, board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Steven R. Cohen and our team of physician associates deliver Sofwave treatments with precision and care.
