Frequently asked questions

What is Thermage?
Thermage is the premier non-invasive procedure that helps smooth, tighten and contour the skin in a single treatment with no surgery, no injections and little to no downtime.

How does the procedure work?
Thermage works by using radiofrequency technology to heat collagen fibers deep in the skin and underlying tissue. The new system causes the structures in the skin and underlying tissue to immediately tighten while stimulating collagen growth. Over time, new and remodeled collagen is produced to further tighten and contour the skin.

How many treatments are needed
and when will you see results?
Patients benefit from a single treatment. Visible results are often immediate and improve over time. Measurable tightening and contouring improvements appear gradually over a two to six month time period following a single treatment.

Where on the body is Thermage performed?
The procedure is designed especially for the face and body. It can help tighten skin safely on most body parts, including the face, eyes, tummy, thighs, knees and buttocks.

How long does the procedure take?
The procedure is a completely non-invasive, safe treatment performed at our office. Depending on the size and location, the procedure may take as little as 20 minutes or up to one hour.

How long will the effects last?
The Thermage procedure helps tighten existing collagen and stimulates new natural collagen production for up to six months following the treatment. Results may last for years depending on the patient’s skin condition and natural aging process.
