Breast Thermage treatments consist of using infrared waves. Our skin has two layers, the outer layer of epidermis and the deeper layer of dermis. These infrared waves enter the dermis and then heat it. The heat causes some immediate tightening of the skin. Breast Thermage acts like a non-surgical breast lift by increasing collagen and tightening the dermis tissue. The result will be younger looking, firmer skin.

Thermage is a type of cosmetic surgery technique that tightens the skin. Thermage is a non-invasive procedure and requires nearly no recovery time. Approved by the FDA in 2001, Thermage has become increasingly popular in the last few years.

Breast Thermage treatments will generally take about an hour, though the time will vary depending on the size of the area that is to be treated. Thermage is not a painful procedure, and patients have described the feeling as a tingling or slight burning. Since the outer layer of skin is not affected by the Thermage (it is cooled as the dermis is heated), there is no downtime after surgery.

Patients undergoing breast Thermage treatments resume working and exercising almost immediately. After undergoing one breast Thermage treatment, the patient will generally begin to notice results two weeks to six months later, and the results can last an additional six months to two years. The cost of Thermage is around $2,000 per procedure. Risks of breast Thermage can be skin peeling, scarring or dimpling, though these side effects are rare.
