Thermage

What is Thermage?

Thermage is a radiofrequency treatment that delivers heat deep to the skin to stimulate collagen. 

What can Thermage treat?

Thermage is in the category of nonsurgical skin tightening treatments. Patients who benefit are looking to slow down the process of skin sagging – either of the eyebrows/eyelids, or of the entire face. Thermage can also be performed on the neck and other body sites. During consultation, we can determine if you are a good candidate for nonsurgical skin tightening like Thermage, or if you should rather consider a surgical lift. 

What is the procedure and recovery like after Thermage?

On the day of treatment, we review the procedure with you, you sign forms and we take photos of the treatment areas. A temporary grid is applied to the treatment area by our nursing staff. The radiofrequency handpiece is used to deliver the energy over the area of the grid. Heat is felt during the treatment – the handpiece also provides vibration/cooling to make it more comfortable. Though the skin may appear red after the procedure, there is no significant social downtime after the treatment. Benefits occur slowly over 3-6 months after the procedure.
