Thermage®

Summary Content

Thermage® is a non-invasive skin tightening treatment that uses radiofrequency (RF) technology to firm, smooth, and contour the skin with no surgery or downtime. At Rejuvenation Dermatology, Thermage® is a trusted solution for patients looking to reduce the visible signs of aging and restore a more youthful appearance.

The treatment works by delivering controlled RF energy deep into the skin, stimulating collagen production and tightening existing collagen fibers. This results in gradual yet noticeable improvements in skin texture, elasticity, and firmness. Thermage® is ideal for treating sagging skin, fine lines, and wrinkles on the face, around the eyes, neck, and even body areas such as the abdomen, thighs, and arms.

Thermage® is suitable for all skin types and tones and typically requires just one session, with results improving over 2 to 6 months and lasting up to a year or longer, depending on individual factors.

The treatment is comfortable and safe, with most patients experiencing only a warming sensation during the procedure. With no downtime, patients can return to normal activities immediately.

At Rejuvenation Dermatology, Thermage® is performed by experienced professionals who tailor each session to your unique skin needs and aesthetic goals.

What is Thermage®?

Thermage® is a non-invasive radiofrequency (RF) skin tightening treatment designed to smooth, firm, and contour the skin by stimulating collagen production. It is an FDA- and Health Canada-approved procedure that addresses the visible signs of aging—such as sagging, wrinkles, and fine lines—without the need for surgery or injections.

Thermage® works by delivering focused RF energy deep into the skin’s dermal layers, where it heats the existing collagen and triggers new collagen formation. This process helps tighten and lift the skin while improving its texture and tone over time.

The treatment is suitable for all skin types and is commonly used on:

  • Face – to lift the jawline, reduce nasolabial folds, and firm cheeks
  • Eyes – to tighten eyelid skin and reduce crow’s feet
  • Neck and décolletage – to smooth fine lines and crepey skin
  • Body – including arms, thighs, abdomen, and knees for skin laxity and contouring

Thermage® is typically performed in a single session with little to no downtime, and results continue to improve over 2 to 6 months, lasting up to a year or more. At Rejuvenation Dermatology, Thermage® is customized to your specific needs, offering a safe and effective way to refresh your appearance naturally.

What Conditions Can Thermage® Address?

Thermage® is a versatile, non-invasive treatment designed to improve skin firmness and reduce visible signs of aging. At Rejuvenation Dermatology, Thermage® is used to effectively address the following conditions:

  • Sagging Skin
    Thermage® tightens loose skin on the face, neck, and body by stimulating collagen remodeling, helping to lift areas like the jawline, cheeks, and abdomen.
  • Fine Lines and Wrinkles
    It smooths fine lines and softens deeper wrinkles, particularly around the eyes, mouth, and forehead, without the need for injections or surgery.
  • Loss of Skin Elasticity
    By boosting collagen and elastin, Thermage® improves skin elasticity, restoring a firmer, more youthful appearance.
  • Crepey or Thin Skin
    Thermage® helps thicken and strengthen thinning skin, making it ideal for delicate areas such as the under-eyes, arms, and décolletage.
  • Mild Facial Volume Loss
    While it does not add volume like fillers, Thermage® enhances skin structure and contour by tightening underlying tissues, offering subtle lifting effects.
  • Uneven Skin Texture
    Thermage® can refine skin texture and tone, especially in areas affected by sun damage or early signs of aging.

Thermage® is a safe, effective solution for individuals seeking comprehensive facial or body rejuvenation with minimal downtime.

What To Expect During Your Thermage® Treatment

Thermage® is a comfortable, in-clinic procedure that delivers effective skin tightening and rejuvenation without the need for surgery or downtime. Here’s what you can expect during your treatment:

  1. Consultation and Assessment
    Your visit begins with a thorough consultation to determine if Thermage® is the right solution for your concerns. We’ll assess the treatment areas—such as the face, eyes, neck, or body—and tailor the procedure to your goals.
  2. Preparation of the Skin
    The treatment area is cleansed, and a grid-like pattern may be applied to guide the precise delivery of radiofrequency energy. No anesthesia is needed, though a cooling mechanism is used to keep the skin comfortable.
  3. Delivery of Radiofrequency Energy
    The Thermage® device delivers controlled radiofrequency pulses deep into the skin using a handheld applicator. You’ll feel a brief heating sensation followed by a cooling effect. This process stimulates collagen contraction and renewal for immediate and long-term tightening.
  4. Treatment Duration
    Sessions typically last 30 to 90 minutes, depending on the area treated.
  5. Post-Treatment Experience
    There is no downtime. You may experience slight redness or swelling, but these effects are mild and temporary. Most patients return to normal activities right away.

Results develop gradually, with continued improvement over 2 to 6 months.

Thermage® FAQ:

Yes, Thermage® is safe and effective for all skin types and tones. Its non-invasive radiofrequency technology allows it to treat a wide range of patients without risk of pigmentation changes or skin damage.
