Thermage
What Is Thermage?
Thermage is a non-invasive radiofrequency (RF) skin tightening treatment designed to stimulate collagen production and improve skin firmness, elasticity, and overall tone. It is commonly used on the face, eyes, neck, abdomen, and other areas where the skin shows signs of aging or laxity. The treatment requires no surgery, needles, or downtime, and delivers visible results after a single session.
How Does Thermage Work?
Thermage uses monopolar radiofrequency energy to heat the deep layers of the skin while simultaneously cooling the surface for comfort. This controlled heat stimulates existing collagen and encourages new collagen formation, resulting in tighter, smoother skin. While some immediate improvement can be seen, the skin continues to improve over the following months.
Common Treatment Areas
- Face (jawline, cheeks, forehead)
- Eye area (eyelids, crow’s feet)
- Neck and décolleté
- Abdomen and arms
- Inner thighs or loose skin areas
Treatment Procedure
Before the session, the skin is cleaned and marked with a treatment grid. A handheld device delivers radiofrequency pulses to the skin, with each pulse simultaneously providing heat to deeper tissues and cooling to the outer layers. A typical session lasts between 30 to 90 minutes depending on the treatment area. Patients can resume daily activities immediately after the session.
