Thermage - Radio Frequency Skin Tightening 

Thermage is a non-invasive, FDA-approved anti-aging treatment that uses monopolar radiofrequency (RF) energy to tighten and rejuvenate the skin. By delivering controlled heat deep into the skin's layers, it stimulates collagen production, resulting in firmer, smoother skin with improved contours—often referred to as the "non-surgical facelift."

 

How It Works

  • RF energy penetrates the dermis and subcutaneous tissue, heating them to 60-70°C, which triggers immediate collagen contraction and long-term remodeling.
  • Over 3-6 months, new collagen forms, gradually improving skin laxity, wrinkles, and texture.
  • Just one treatment session is typically needed for visible results, making it ideal for busy lifestyles.

 

Key Benefits

✔ Single-Session Treatment – Results last 1-2 years, with progressive improvement over time.

✔ Deep & Uniform Heating – Targets multiple skin layers for comprehensive tightening.

✔ No Downtime – Mild redness may occur, but normal activities can resume immediately.

✔ Versatile Application – Effective for the face, eyes, neck, and body (e.g., abdomen, arms).

 

Ideal Candidates

  • Those with mild to moderate skin laxity (e.g., sagging jawline, nasolabial folds).
  • Individuals seeking wrinkle reduction without injections or surgery.
  • Postpartum patients with loose abdominal skin or body contouring concerns.

 

Treatment Process

  1. Skin cleansing + optional topical numbing cream.
  2. Session duration: 30-90 minutes (varies by area).
  3. Aftercare: Moisturize + avoid excessive heat (saunas, hot baths) for 24 hours.

 

Results & Recovery

  • Immediate: Mild tightening effect may be noticeable.
  • 1-3 months: Collagen rebuilding begins, skin feels firmer.
  • 3-6 months: Optimal results emerge—smoother, lifted, and more youthful skin.
