The Device

What Is Thermage?

Thermage is a monopolar radiofrequency device that tightens skin by heating the deep collagen layer — without breaking the skin surface.

A single treatment delivers controlled RF energy that contracts existing collagen for an immediate firming effect, then triggers a gradual collagen-rebuilding response over the following months. A vibrating, cooled tip protects the surface and keeps the treatment comfortable.

Because it works on laxity rather than depth-specific muscle layers, Thermage is often discussed alongside Ultherapy — and the two are sometimes sequenced together when a physician judges that both tightening and lift are needed.

Why Thermage

Three Treatment Points

Point 01

RF energy heats the deep dermis, contracting collagen fibers for a firming effect you can often feel right away.

Point 02

The heat stimulates new collagen production, so skin continues to tighten gradually over two to six months.

Point 03

A cooled, vibrating tip protects the surface and improves comfort, keeping the session downtime-free for most people.

Keep up sun protection and moisturizing, and stay well hydrated to support collagen remodeling.
Final tightening builds gradually; the fullest effect is typically seen over two to six months.
Those with a pacemaker, implanted electrical device, or metal implants in the area should inform the physician in advance.
If pregnant or breastfeeding, it is best to postpone this treatment.

Physician's FAQ

How is Thermage different from Ultherapy?

Thermage uses monopolar radiofrequency to heat the broad dermal layer for overall tightening, while Ultherapy uses focused ultrasound to reach deeper SMAS-level points for lift. Many patients benefit from one or the other; some are advised to combine them. The physician decides based on your skin and goals. Individual results vary.

When will I see results, and how long do they last?

There is often an immediate firming effect from collagen contraction, followed by gradual improvement as new collagen forms over two to six months. Results commonly last around a year or more, so once-yearly maintenance is typical. Longevity varies by skin and lifestyle.

Is it painful, and is there downtime?

You feel brief heat with each pulse, balanced by a cooling tip; modern protocols are well tolerated. Most people return to normal activity the same day, with only temporary redness or warmth. Comfort settings are adjusted during treatment.

How many sessions do I need?

Thermage is usually a single-session treatment per cycle, with the shot count chosen for your area and goal. Your physician will confirm the appropriate plan and timing after assessment.
