Proven results

Thermage is a non-invasive skin tightening treatment that helps smooth, firm, and lift the skin by stimulating your body’s natural collagen production. It’s commonly used on the face, neck, eye area, and body to treat early signs of skin laxity, contour loss, and wrinkles — all without surgery or downtime.

Recognized worldwide, Thermage has been one of the most trusted non-surgical cosmetic procedures for over 10 years. With proven results and millions of treatments performed across 80+ countries, it remains a top choice for patients looking to prevent and reduce visible signs of aging. Maximum results typically appear between 2 to 6 months after treatment.

Treatment & technology

Thermage
What is the thermage procedure? / 3:08

Thermage uses patented radiofrequency (RF) technology to gently heat the deeper layers of the skin, triggering a natural regenerative response. This heat stimulates the production of new collagen, while a built-in cooling mechanism protects the surface of the skin, keeping the treatment comfortable and safe.

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.

Treated areas

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.

Personalized assessment

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.

Mark the area

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.

Apply liquid gel

A thin layer of liquid gel is applied onto the skin to provide comfort and protection of surface layers during the procedure.

Start 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.

ZWave Treatment

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.

Cleaning and removing the grid

It is essential to clean the skin to remove the fluid gel used during a Thermage treatment and to completely erase the marking grid.

Hydration

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.

Cost of treatment

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.

Follow-up and maintenance

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.

Contraindications

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.
