What is Thermage?

So, what is Thermage? Thermage is a nonsurgical skin tightening treatment that uses RF energy to heat the deeper layers of your skin. This heat helps reverse loss of collagen, which can improve firmness and smooth out wrinkles over time.

Thermage treatment can be used on the face, neck, and body to address sagging skin, fine lines, and loss of elasticity. Because it's noninvasive, there's no downtime, and results develop slowly as your body produces new collagen over the following months.

Who is a good candidate for Thermage?

Thermage is ideal for men and women who are noticing early signs of aging but aren't ready for invasive cosmetic surgery. You may be a good candidate if you're experiencing:

• Mild to moderate sagging skin on the face, neck, or body
• Fine lines and wrinkles
• Loss of collagen and skin firmness
• Concerns about jowls or loose skin around the eyes

Thermage can work best for patients who have realistic expectations about their outcomes. While Thermage can provide noticeable skin tightening, it won't deliver the same dramatic results as a surgical facelift or body contouring procedure. It's a good option for patients who want to maintain their appearance or delay more invasive treatments until later.

How Thermage works

During your Thermage session at Dermatology Center of Dallas in Dallas, TX, radiofrequency energy is delivered through a handheld device that's applied to the treatment area. The energy heats the deeper layers of skin. The process takes 30 – 60 minutes, depending on the size of the area being treated. There's no anesthesia required, and you can return to your normal activities almost immediately afterward.

What Thermage results can you expect?

Thermage results develop over 2 – 6 months as your body produces new collagen. Most patients notice tighter, firmer skin with improved texture and tone. The effects can last a year or more, depending on your skin quality and how your body responds to treatment.

While Thermage won't stop the natural aging process, it can slow down the progression of sagging skin. Some people get maintenance treatments every year or two to sustain their results.

Because everyone has different skin and cosmetic goals, our team will discuss what to expect during a consultation. We can help you understand what Thermage can achieve for your specific concerns.
