Thermage is an advanced technique of tightening skin that uses a unique form of radio frequency energy to tighten loose or sagging skin, producing a kind of "facial lift" without an incision or extended recovery time.

This technique is called the Thermage procedure. The radio frequency (RF) energy uniformly heats the dermis (inner layer of skin) while cooling and protecting the epidermis (outer layer of skin). It is designed to tighten deeper layers of skin while helping to initiate the production of new collagen, which occurs over a period of time. 

Each time treatment is delivered there is an immediate cool sensation, followed by a brief hot sensation, followed by a cool sensation. An anesthetic cream applied one hour before the procedure numbs the surface of the skin to help make the treatment more comfortable. The doctor will assess the need of each patient and prescribe the most effective method to minimize discomfort.

Depending on the size of the area treated, the procedure itself may take anywhere from a few minutes to an hour. This treatment is most effective on the skin of the forehead and can lift the eyebrows and enhance the appearance of the eyes, making the eyes look more open, less tired, more alert

A patient may return to normal activities almost immediately, as there is usually no "downtime". Minimal redness is seen in some patients but it usually disappears shortly after treatment. Heat-related complications can occur but are uncommon. There is no special care needed after treatment. However, as a part of good skin care regimen, sunscreen is recommended. 

The results of the treatment can last anywhere from several months to several years, depending on the aging process of the patient.

While not a substitute for a surgical facelift, the Thermage procedure can be used on patients with a moderate amount of sagging skin and wrinkles. The Thermage procedure is sometimes referred to as a “mini-face lift.”
