Thermage is a non-surgical aesthetic treatment that delivers radiofrequency (RF) energy deep into the dermis, making the collagen contract immediately and stimulating collagen production to improve firmness and enhance facial and body contours over time.
It is an effective solution for:
● Eye Area: Treating wrinkles and fine lines around the eyes, including upper and lower
eyelid lifting.
● Face & Neck: Improving facial contours and addressing facial wrinkles and neck lines.

Thermage Common Questions (FAQ)
How many shots are needed for the full face + neck + eye area? How long does it take?
It takes about 120 to 150 minutes.
Tip 0.25 eye treatment probe requires 450 shots (225 for the left eye, 225 for the right eye).
Tip 4.0 all - around probe requires 900 shots (600 for the full face, 300 for the neck).
Thermage experts will adjust the number of shots according to the facial condition.
Can sensitive skin or acne-prone skin undergo Thermage?
Of course, because Thermage will thicken the skin's stratum corneum and improve the degree of skin sensitivity; early Thermage was used to treat acne, and the activation of collagen can restore damaged skin to a healthy state.
Does Thermage hurt?
Everyone's pain tolerance is different, but most clients find it tolerable; generally speaking, the jawline, cheekbone areas, and forehead edges tend to be more painful because these areas have a higher concentration of nerve endings and less fat.
After stopping Thermage treatments, will my face sag?
No, Thermage continuously stimulates collagen regeneration, and with proper maintenance afterward, the skin condition will only improve. Pairing it with other anti-aging treatments (such as Ultherapy) can yield even better results.
When is it better to start Thermage?
Thermage treatment can be considered as soon as early aging signs appear around the age of 25. Anti-aging treatments should not wait until the skin becomes severely lax or nasolabial folds deepen.
