Defy Aging Naturally
What is Thermage skin tightening?
Thermage is an FDA-cleared treatment that uses radiofrequency (RF) energy to gently heat the deeper layers of your skin. This stimulates the production of new collagen, the protein responsible for skin's firmness and elasticity. Over time, this results in tighter, smoother skin with a more youthful appearance.
The Science of Smoother Skin
What is the Thermage treatment like?
Thermage uses a device called ThermaCool™ to deliver radiofrequency (RF) energy deep into the skin. A handheld applicator gently touches your skin, protected by a cooling spray, while giving the RF energy. This deep heating triggers two key effects:
- Immediate Tightening: The heat causes a tightening effect in the deeper layers of your skin and underlying tissue.
- Collagen Production Boost: Over time, your body produces new and remodeled collagen, further tightening your skin and renewing facial contours.
Faster Treatments with Comfort
Thermage offers a larger applicator, the Thermage Body Tip 16.0, for faster and more impressive results. This tip covers five times the area of standard applicators, making treatment quicker. Additionally, Thermage’s Comfort Pulse Technology delivers RF energy in short bursts at varying levels, ensuring deeper heating while maintaining patient comfort.
Boost Collagen & Reduce Wrinkles
What conditions does skin tightening address?
Skin tightening procedures aim to achieve several key goals:
- Improve Skin Tightness and Elasticity: By stimulating collagen production, these treatments help to tighten and lift loose skin, resulting in a more defined and youthful appearance.
- Reduce Wrinkles and Fine Lines: As the skin becomes tighter and smoother, the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines is diminished.
- Enhance Facial Contours: Skin tightening can help redefine the jawline and other facial contours, creating a more sculpted look.
Turn Back Time Without Surgery
What areas of the body can Thermage address?

Some patients may also have slight redness that typically fades within a few hours. It's important to be aware that your skin may be more sensitive to the sun after Thermage. To protect your results, be sure to wear sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher daily and limit direct sun exposure. The best part?
