The newest Thermage System is a significant leap forward in skin tightening and body contouring technology. It uses Comfort Pulse Technology to non-invasively smooth, tighten and contour the skin in a single treatment with no surgery, no injections and little to no downtime.

The procedure works by using monopolar radiofrequency technology to heat collagen fibers deep in the skin and underlying tissue. The new Thermage FLX system has an improved, more uniform heating action that causes the structures in the skin and underlying tissue to immediately tighten while stimulating collagen growth over time. Over time, new and remodeled collagen is produced to further tighten and contour the skin.

The Thermage system incorporates proprietary Comfort Pulse Technology™ in every aspect of the system including a new vibrating handpiece and scientifically advanced treatment tips. The Comfort Pulse Technology delivers energy more efficiently through the new system to the area being treated while the redesigned face and body tips distribute heat more efficiently. The new vibrating handpiece has also been shown in clinical studies to provide a more comfortable experience, compared to previous versions of Thermage.

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 session.

Unlike many procedures requiring four or more sessions, most Thermage® patients benefit from a single treatment. The treating doctor will determine the course of treatment that is right for each patient, based on the patient’s needs and goals.

The Thermage procedure is designed especially for the face and the body. It can help tighten skin safely on most body parts, including the face, eyes, tummy, arms, hands, thighs and buttocks. Our most popular areas are face, neck, stomach, knees and eyelids.

The Thermage procedure is a completely non-invasive, safe treatment that is performed only in a doctor’s office. Depending on the size and location of the area to be treated, the procedure may take as little as 20 minutes or up to one hour.

No. Unlike surgery, there is no pre-procedure preparation, such as blood work or fasting required. Patients are typically given a non-steriodal anti-inflammatory medication 60 minutes prior to the procedure, however many patients have Thermage without pre-medication. With little to no downtime, most patients can return to their regular activities immediately following treatment. There is no special care after treatment. Some patients exhibit a temporary redness or minor swelling after treatment, this usually resolves within 24 hours. Good skin care and sunscreens are recommended as part of your regular skin care regimen. The only signs of treatment are naturally smoother, younger and healthier skin.

Peer-reviewed clinical studies have shown that Thermage is safe over most fillers including hyaluronic acid (Restylane/Juvederm), calcium hydroxyappetite (Radiesse) and Sculptra. Thermage has not been tested over areas previously injected with silicone and should be used over these areas.

Yes! Thermage is often used in combination with other lasers such as Fraxel or vascular laser for global skin rejuvenation.

The Thermage CPT procedure helps tighten existing collagen and stimulate 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.

While there are other skin care treatments that use radiofrequency energy, Thermage utilizes proprietary monopolar radiofrequency technology to deliver uniform volumetric heating into the dermal and subcutaneous layers of the skin to help naturally tighten and contour underlying tissue. Also, Thermage generally achieves results in a single treatment compared to other technologies requiring multiple treatment sessions.
