Patented Thermage technology, available at Project Skin MD Ottawa, uses unipolar radiofrequency energy combined with cooling to safely heat the deeper layers of the skin while protecting its surface. Visit us to discover how Thermage can rejuvenate your skin—comfortably and without downtime.

Once your Thermage body treatment is complete, optimize the results of your skin tightening with ZWave technology.
Continuous unipolar radiofrequency pulses penetrate the skin’s layers down to the subcutaneous fatty tissue, heating up collagen fibres and causing them to contract and expand in a process that triggers the body’s own collagen and elastin renewal process.
As early as in our 30s, collagen production starts to decline by about 1% a year. Thermage helps to significantly slow skin-aging by preventing the body’s natural collagen degradation process. This non-invasive cosmetic procedure is proven to improve skin appearance (i.e., tighten lax skin, reduce wrinkles, smooth body contours) and can temporarily improve the appearance of cellulite. Normally, just one 2.5-hour treatment is all you need to achieve visible results. No recovery time is needed, and there is no redness or swelling of the treated area.
Thermage is one of the most popular non-invasive cosmetic treatments in the world, with a 10-year+ track record for delivering safe and effective results. The proven technology is available in more than 80 countries worldwide and is a leading treatment choice for the prevention of skin aging. Maximum results are achieved 2 to 6 months following the procedure.
*Each person is unique and may react differently to the proposed treatment. Images are for illustrative purposes only. Actual results may vary.
Your skin condition will be assessed to determine if Thermage is right for you. Although each patient is different, Thermage can benefit both men and women, ages 30 to 60, who want to preserve their skin quality and slow the loss of collagen.
A temporary grid is transferred onto the skin surface to ensure a consistent, uniform treatment. This grid is used as a guide during the procedure. The forehead, cheeks, jawline, as well as under-chin area are included in a full-face Thermage treatment. Larger body areas for treatment can vary and are assessed according to individual concerns.
A thin layer of liquid gel is applied onto the skin to provide comfort and protection of surface layers during the procedure.
The skin is heated using unipolar radiofrequency that stimulates the natural skin regeneration process and kick-starts the production of Type I collagen. Throughout the procedure, the handpiece tip releases alternating bursts of heat and cryogen cooling to soothe and protect the epidermis. The device is also equipped with Comfort Pulse Technology, which creates a gentle vibrating sensation for added comfort. The level of perceived heat effect varies according to treated area. The resulting sensation is sometimes described as being uncomfortable but tolerable.
Following a Thermage treatment on a given body area, Dermapure offers you a free treatment using ZWave radial shockwave system. This technology features a unique hand piece that delivers both mechanical and acoustic pulses to the treated body area for a few minutes. The energy heightens metabolic and tissue activity at the skin-strengthening level and promotes collagen regeneration. Depending on the area treated, this improves tissue elasticity and skin firmness and optimizes the appareance of cellulite.
It is essential to clean the skin to remove the fluid gel used during a Thermage treatment and to completely erase the marking grid.
Keeping the skin well hydrated is the final step in the treatment. Since Thermage doesn't create redness or swelling on the treatment area (even when combined with ZWave technology), you can get back to your daily life immediately.
Treatment prices vary based on your individual needs and the specific procedure performed. To learn more about pricing, we invite you to contact your clinic or schedule a consultation with our experts.
We recommend that you keep your skin in shape with a yearly Thermage treatment regimen. The cumulative effect delivers more consistent benefits over time! Thermage can also be performed every two years, alternating with Ulthera—Thermage is a preventive treatment, while Ulthera is a corrective treatment. We also strongly recommend 4 treatments of Venus Freeze/Venus Legacy every year to help maximize the effects of the radiofrequency therapy throughout the year, thus helping to maintain and prolong results.
Women who are pregnant or nursing should postpone this procedure. Individuals with a cardiac pacemaker or other active medical implant should not undergo Thermage. Daily use of anti-inflammatory medication may reduce the effectiveness of treatment.
Thermage delivers natural-looking results over the entire face, on upper and lower eyelids, and on the arms, abdomen, thighs and buttocks according to individual needs for skin tightening or improvement in the appearance of cellulite (mild to moderate). Thermage can be used as a complementary procedure after cosmetic surgery (i.e., to tighten the skin after liposuction) or dermal filler injections.
