WHAT TO EXPECT | DAY OF TREATMENT

YOU, NATURALLY.

Thermage treatments, which are performed only in a doctor’s office by Thermage-certified personnel, average about 45 minutes for the face and up to an hour and a half for other parts of the body, depending on the size, location and condition of the area to be treated.

Here's what happens:

  • During the procedure, a handheld device is pressed against your skin to safely deliver heat to the inner layers, at the same time cooling the surface of the skin.

  • Each time the device touches your skin, you’ll feel a brief cooling sensation, followed by a deep but brief heating sensation, followed by another cooling sensation. The heating sensation is a sign that the deep layers of your skin are reaching effective temperatures for tightening.
  • Throughout the procedure, your physician will ask for feedback on the level of heat sensation to help balance your comfort with maximum results.
  • After treatment, your skin may be slightly red, but most people resume regular activities immediately after treatment. There’s no recovery time or special follow-up care.
