🔥 What is Thermage?

Thermage is a non-surgical skin tightening treatment that uses radiofrequency (RF) energy to heat the deep layers of the skin, stimulating collagen remodeling and new collagen production. Unlike lasers, Thermage works deep beneath the surface and is known for firming and lifting without injections or surgery.

It helps with:

• Skin tightening & lifting (face, jawline, neck)
• Improving skin elasticity and firmness
• Reducing fine lines and mild sagging
• Contouring the jawline and facial shape
• Can also be used on eyes, body, and neck (Thermage FLX has different tips)

👤 Who is it for?

Thermage is ideal if you:

✔ Have loose or sagging skin but don’t want surgery
✔ Want long-lasting tightening with one session
✔ Notice early to moderate aging (jawline, cheeks, neck)
✔ Prefer no injections and minimal downtime

It is especially popular among patients who want natural lifting results and are not ready for thread lifting or surgical procedures.

⏱ Procedure Time & Experience

• Total visit time: ~60–90 minutes
• Treatment time: about 40–60 minutes (depends on area)
• Comfort: Cooling system + vibration help reduce discomfort; numbing cream may be applied depending on clinic protocol.
