Normally, the complete procedure can be performed in just
one session lasting from 20 minutes to two hours, depending
on the treatment area. General anesthesia is not required,
but to make sure you are comfortable the doctor may offer
light pain medications prior to treatment.
During the treatment, you’ll feel a
brief, heat sensation each time Thermage™
delivers radiofrequency energy to the underlayer of your skin.
This indicates that your collagen is being stimulated and
tightened.
After treatment, your skin may be slightly
red for a day or two. But most people resume regular activities
immediately after treatment, with no downtime or special follow-up
care.
Immediate Results: You should feel and see
your skin being smoother, firmer, and tighter immediately
after your Thermage™
treatment. You may also notice some contouring effects which
will begin enhancing the shape of your face.
Continued improvement over time: After the
procedure, you should continue to see improvements to your
skin as a result of the production of new and increased collagen,
as well as some additional contouring effects due to continued
tightening over time. These effects will continue for up to
six months. You should see lasting results.
