Thermage®
Frequently Asked Questions:
What is the Thermage procedure?
Thermage is a safe, non-invasive, no downtime, single treatment
cosmetic procedure that is clinically proven to tighten, contour
and rejuvenate facial skin to help naturally restore a more
youthful appearance. The Thermage procedure is fast and easy
and requires no downtime from normal activities. Unlike lasers,
the procedure can be performed on patients of all skin color.
How does the Thermage procedure
work?
The procedure works by heating
deep collagen fibers in the skin and underlying tissue, while
protecting the skin’s surface with a cooling spray.
The treatment is performed with the ThermaCool device. This
deep uniform heating action causes the deep structures in
the skin and underlying tissue to immediately tighten. Over
time, new and remodeled collagen is produced to further tighten
skin and renew facial contours.
How long does it take?
The Thermage procedure is a completely non-invasive, safe
treatment that is performed only in a doctor’s office.
Depending on the size of the area to be treated, the procedure
may take as little as 20 minutes or up to two hours.
When will I see results?
In most patients, results appear gradually in 2 to 6 months,
although some patients see an earlier response.
What does the Thermage procedure
feel like?
With each touch of the Thermage treatment tip, you will experience
a brief intense warm sensation as the collagen in deep layers
of your skin is heated. To protect your skin and make the
treatment more comfortable, a cooling spray is delivered before,
during and after each application of the treatment tip.
How long will the effects of the
Thermage procedure last?
The Thermage procedure immediately tightens existing collagen
and stimulates new natural collagen production for up to six
months following the treatment. Some studies show that thermal
collagen changes can last several years, depending on the
rate of the aging process.
How many treatments will I need?
A single treatment has produced good results in a significant
number of patients. However, your doctor will assess the number
and frequency of treatments required to achieve optimal results
for your skin.
