Thermage is a leading non-surgical treatment that delivers targeted radiofrequency (RF) energy deep into the skin to stimulate collagen production, resulting in firmer, smoother, and more youthful-looking skin. Ideal for those seeking to enhance their appearance without undergoing surgery, Thermage provides long-lasting results with minimal discomfort and little recovery time.
Thermage is a state-of-the-art treatment designed to rejuvenate and tighten the skin using advanced radiofrequency (RF) technology. This non-invasive procedure works by delivering focused RF energy into the deep layers of the skin, where it heats the tissue to stimulate the body’s natural collagen production process. The result is smoother, tighter skin and a more youthful appearance that continues to improve over time.
Thermage works by heating the deep, collagen-rich layers of the skin while protecting the outer layer with cooling technology. The controlled heating causes collagen fibers to contract, resulting in a tightening effect. Simultaneously, the heat stimulates the production of new collagen, which gradually enhances the skin’s firmness and elasticity over the following months.
A typical Thermage treatment session lasts between 45 to 90 minutes, depending on the area(s) being treated. During the procedure, you may feel a brief heating sensation followed by a cooling effect to protect the skin. We offer pain medications for patients if they wish, including oral and inhalant gas, but many of our patients tolerate this procedure very well. After the treatment, there is no downtime, and you can resume your regular activities immediately.
Some patients notice immediate improvements in their skin’s tightness, with continued improvements over the next 2-6 months as new collagen develops. The results of Thermage can last for 1-2 years, depending on your skin condition and aging process. Maintenance treatments can help prolong and enhance your results.
