Thermage® is a non-invasive procedure that uses radiofrequency energy to create an uniform heating effect in the deep dermis. This gentle heating tightens existing collagen and stimulates the production of new collagen. It reduces wrinkles and achieves brow lifting, cheek lifting and jaw line lifting. Although a few patients show immediate improvement, response to treatment for most clients is gradual with progressive improvement over 2-6 months. 80-90% of patients show noticeable effects at 6 months and the effects will last for a year.

The Eyes - hooding, fine lines and even our brow lines can make us look worn-down. Thermage® treats the upper and lower eyelids to help you look more youthful and rested.

The Face - as we age, phrases like “turkey neck”, loose jowls, sagging skin and “what happened to my jawline?” creep in. Thermage® smooths wrinkles and remodels collagen for the overall health of the skin.

Thermage® can help improve the appearance of sagging or loose skin, giving you a smoother, sleeker and younger look and feel. Thermage® works in just one treatment with little down time and delivers a natural looking result.

Q: How does the Thermage® procedure work?

A: The procedure works by using monopolar radiofrequency technology to heat collagen fibers deep into the dermis.
