What is Thermage?
Thermage is a non-invasive surgical procedure for skin tightening. Using a combination of heat energy and the Monopolar Radiofrequency (RF) energy to stimulate collagen formation in deep tissue, Thermage helps to tighten the skin, producing a smoother and younger look in a single treatment. In addition, alternating pulses of heating and cooling make the procedure very refreshing and comfortable.
Thermage Procedure
1. ThermaTip will be used to give a cooling sensation on the area that will be treated by the dermatologist.
2. Heat energy from RF will then be applied. Alternating hot (from RF) and cold (from the ThermaTip) pulses will be applied throughout the procedure.
3. RF energy will penetrate deep into the skin tissue, heating the treatment areas and stimulating the formation of collagen.
4. The duration of treatment will vary from 20 minutes to 2 hours, depending on the area treated and its condition.

Treatment Depth of Thermage
Thermage can heat the skin from the top-down. It can treat up to 3mm of skin depth.

FAQ
Q1: Does Thermage hurt?
A1: You will feel a brief sensation of heat each time the Thermage is pulsed. But the device monitors the surface temperature of your skin and applies a cooling cryogen spray, which is delivered before, during, and after the application of heat.
Q2: How often should I have a Thermage session?
A2: Once every 2 to 3 years.
Q3: Can I undergo Thermage if I am breastfeeding?
A3: No. Please be informed that this treatment is not suitable for those who are pregnant, nursing, have any implantable pacemaker, an implantable cardioverter/defibrillator (ICD) or any other electronic implantable device.
Q4: Are there alternatives to Thermage?
A4: Thermage is known for its highly non-invasive skin tightening method that does not require frequent clinic visits. However, there are also other ways to lift and tighten your skin, such as by undergoing Ultherapy, thread lift, laser skin resurfacing, Botox and dermal filler procedures.
Q5: What is difference between Thermage and HIFU?
A5: Both are effective treatments for combating aging, however there are few differences. If your aging signs are more towards 'sinking' features, like hollowness or lack of volume, you my benefit from Thermage in combination with dermal fillers. Thermage is also suitable for wrinkles around the eyes. But if you have wrinkles on your face, or sagging skin, then HIFU is suitable for you as it can stimulate skin tightening of the SMAS layer.
