Thermage is a non-invasive, non-surgical cosmetic procedure that reduces the appearance of wrinkles and firms skin. Thermage can only be performed by qualified Thermage doctors or other personnel who has been specifically trained in the Thermage procedure.

The Thermage procedure involves Thermage doctors using infrared rays to heat the dermis (deep layer) of the skin, resulting in tightening and smoothing of the skin. When your doctor performs a Thermage treatment, collagen may also be increased in the skin. While it is possible that skin damage can occur with Thermage, it is usually only a temporary redness and swelling that will occur.

With facial Thermage, there may be mild soreness of the jawbone too. Compared to traditional plastic surgery, the side effects are quite minimal, though the results are similar.

Thermage doctors often consider Thermage to be the top of the line treatment for smoothing and contouring skin. This is because it provides subtle, yet visible results that can last up to two years.
Thermage doctors can perform the treatment in a single session that lasts about an hour or in several sessions. Thermage has been used in more than 450,000 procedures and over 2,200 medical practices worldwide. It is preferred by doctors because there is no cutting, no injections, and no downtime in recovery.
