Frequently Asked Questions
Thermage is a nonsurgical alternative to a facelift involving no downtime and no injections.
Thermage can be used on the entire face, or to target specific areas requiring skin tightening. For example, the eye procedure helps smooth and tighten the skin to decrease hooding and eye wrinkles. Unlike laser skin tightening technology, Thermage procedure works on all skin types and colours, and there is no need to avoid the sun after treatment.
As you age, the collagen in your skin breaks down resulting in wrinkles and sagging skin. Thermage uses patented radiofrequency technology to safely heat the deeper layers of the skin, stimulating existing collagen, enhancing facial contours and tightening skin.
The results of a Thermage treatment are progressive, meaning some results are seen immediately but will continue to improve due to the collagen growth process for up to six months after treatment.
Most patients do not require any medication during the treatment, however a light sedative can be used for Thermage if needed. If a light sedative is administered then you will not be able to drive for the remainder of the day and will require a ride home after the treatment.
After treatment, most patients experience mild redness and minimal swelling but can return to normal activities immediately after. In the first month following a Thermage procedure, there is tightening of the collagen fibres and supporting tissue of the skin, which will result in noticeably improved tightening of the treated area. Months two to six will show new collagen synthesis and improvement in the structure of the skin’s supporting tissue. During this time, improvements in texture, tone, and contour will be noted.
