Frequently Asked Questions.

How does Body by Thermage work?
 As you age, your skin sags as collagen stretches. With just one treatment, Thermage's unique deep-heating technology immediately renews your natural collagen, resulting in tighter, more youthful skin that continues to improve over time. Thermage is safer than invasive cosmetic procedures. It works on all skin types and colors. Best of all, you only need one Thermage treatment to obtain the full benefits.
Also, there is no downtime, so you can quickly resume your daily routine.

How should I make preparations for Thermage?
Treatments can last from 1 to 2 hours, therefore, patients should plan accordingly with their schedule. 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.

Who is an ideal candidate for Thermage?
Almost anyone who wants to gain a more youthful, tighter appearance. It is also ideal for those that desire a boost in confidence. A great option for those who want to avoid the risks of surgery. Thermage works on all skin types and colors. Women 35-60 normally have the best and most predictable results. If your skin is too lax, the results will not be as dramatic. Please call to set up your free consultation.

Is there much pain during the procedure?
The pain is tolerable for most patients. General anesthesia is not required, but to make sure you are comfortable the doctor can 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.

What can I expect for the recovery after Thermage?
There is virtually no downtime associated with Thermage. After treatment, your skin may be slightly red for a day or two. However, most people resume regular activities immediately after treatment, with no downtime or special follow-up care. Patients who need light pain medications for the treatment may be drowsy from the medication for
several hours after treatment.
