Thermage (Skin Tightening)

One of the more popular technologies for the non-invasive skin tightening and rejuvenation in the last few years is Thermage. These are generally used to treat the sagging skins caused by aging and weight changes. Thermage tightens, firms, and rejuvenates the skin through the use of RF energy that heats deeper layers of the skin, stimulating collagen production.

Thermage works especially well on parts of the body such as the face, periorbital area, neck, and décolletage. Its first major plus is that it is a non-surgical procedure and therefore includes very little recovery time and few, if any, side effects. Since it works by improving the skin's natural structure, patients can return to their normal daily activities almost immediately following the treatment. Thermage basically focuses on strengthening the internal structure of the skin and improving its quality, which is considered an ideal solution for the long run.

Compared with other nonsurgical aesthetic procedures, Thermage is among those yielding one of the longest-lasting results, especially regarding "skin tightening." But how is it done? Whom is it most suitable for? And what kind of results can you expect from it? This article will provide answers to some of the most frequently asked questions about Thermage.

What is Thermage, and how does it work?

Thermage works with the implementation of radiofrequency energy provided to deeper layers through a device. This stimulates the generation of collagen, which is useful in rendering more firmness to the skin and renews it for a younger look. Unlike other treatments targeting the superficial layer of the skin, Thermage works from within. It influences deeper layers without any damage to the superficial layer. This ascertains less downtime, and patients can go back to their usual activities on the same day.

For What Areas is Thermage Indicated?

It can be applied to both the face and body. The most common areas to be treated are:

Face: The areas around the eyes, cheeks, jawline, and forehead.
Neck: The lax areas that include the neck and underneath the chin.
Décolletage: Wrinkles and sagging of the chest area.
Body: The abdomen, arms, legs, and around the knees that need tightening.
Smoothening of these areas is what Thermage will do since these are usually affected by aging or weight loss.

How Long Does a Thermage Session Take?

Procedures for Thermage take approximately 30 minutes to 2 hours, depending on the treated area; facial treatments generally take less time, and treatment for the body can take a bit longer. The size of the area and the intensity of the treatment will be big determinants for the session duration.

When Will You See Results from Thermage?

The results from Thermage start to become apparent immediately after the treatment. The full effects, however, take some time to develop, anything from 2 to 6 months from the start of treatment. The reason behind this lag in realization of full benefits pertains to the fact that Thermage encourages production of collagen. Generation of collagen naturally takes time for renewal. There is marked improvement right after the first session; the results, however are much better seen over a period of months as the production continues.

How Many Sessions of Thermage Are Needed?

Thermage results are evident after one session, but sometimes this might vary depending on skin condition, extent of sagging, and personal aesthetic goals. This, however will be best addressed by your doctor upon consultation.

What Are the Side Effects of Thermage and Aftercare Recommendations?

Thermage is a very safe treatment and has a minimal number of side effects. Following the procedure, there is usually an outcome of a little redness, a little swollen area, which disappears after some hours. Skin blistering also occurs but is very rare apart from mild burns or even change in skin pigmentation. In case of other unusual side effects, do not hesitate to call your doctor.

Aftercare following a Thermage treatment is relatively easy: Patients are advised to wear sunscreen, keep the area moist, and avoid very hot showers. This, plus following some postoperative care instructions provided by your doctor, can help you recover faster and achieve better results.

What Is the Difference Between Thermage and Ultherapy?

Both Thermage and Ultherapy are non-invasive skin tightening treatments. However, they have a somewhat different approach to how they work. Thermage uses radiofrequency for stimulating the production of collagen. On the other hand, Ultherapy incorporates ultrasound technology. Thermage works on more superficial layers of skin, while Ultherapy reaches deeper layers in the skin. Your skin type or goals may make one more suitable than the other. Consult a qualified professional, if you want to figure out which treatment option best suits you.

Thermage is an effective procedure against signs of aging and skin laxity. Besides this, it has minor side effects; therefore, it is non-invasive, which makes it highly popular for long-lasting effects. Also, detailed consultation and following a doctor's advice will let you achieve the most desirable result of Thermage.

Questions & Answers

Unlike a traditional surgical facelift, which involves incisions and the repositioning of facial tissues, a non-surgical facelift relies on non-invasive methods such as dermal fillers, laser treatments, and radiofrequency to enhance skin elasticity and reduce the appearance of wrinkles.

Common non-surgical facelift procedures include dermal filler injections, Botox injections, thread lifts, laser skin resurfacing, ultrasound therapy (Ultherapy), and radiofrequency treatments. Thread lifts are particularly popular for their ability to provide a subtle lift and rejuvenation without surgery.

Yes, non-surgical facelifts can be effective in reducing signs of aging such as wrinkles, fine lines, and sagging skin. The results vary depending on the specific procedure and individual factors.

Potential risks and side effects may include temporary swelling, redness, bruising, or discomfort at the treatment site. Serious complications are rare.

The duration of results varies among procedures, but generally, non-surgical facelift effects can last from several months to a couple of years. Maintenance treatments may be required to sustain the results.

I found Dr Arif while I was looking for a doctor for my eyelids. His team contacted me and arranged my transport and hotel and I had my surgery 3 days ago. It's currently a bit swollen but I'm confident I will have an amazing result once my recovery is completed.I definitely recommend him to everyone looking for a doctor for such procedures. His whole team was lovely by the way, thank you so much for everything

Dr. Aref is one if the best plastic surgeons I have ever met, his passion and dedication to the job does not allow him to do an operation unless it is really needed and moreover he ensures that the operation is successful, his team starting with Mr. Mustafa is highly professional and is very informative as well as well organized. I have done a 360 liposuction surgery and I am now looking forward to do my tummy. Dr. Aref is highly recommended and in Turkey it is very hard to find someone with this level of professionalism like him.
