Consultation: Before the treatment, patients usually have a consultation with the practitioner to discuss their goals, expectations, potential risks, and benefits. Be sure to take your photos as well. It will help practitioners to better examine your treatment.
Preparation: The area to be treated is cleansed. A grid may be temporarily inked or stamped onto the skin. This grid serves as a guide for the practitioner to ensure even application of the RF energy. Although the treatment is generally considered to be tolerable, a topical anesthetic may be applied to increase comfort, depending on the patient’s preference and the practitioner’s assessment.
Treatment: The Thermage device has a handpiece that the practitioner moves over the skin. This handpiece sends radiofrequency energy deep into the skin’s layers without damaging the surface. As the RF energy is delivered, patients might feel a heating sensation each time the device pulses. The heating sensation is often followed by a cooling sensation, as many Thermage devices have a built-in cooling mechanism to protect the skin’s surface and make the procedure more comfortable. The RF energy heats the deeper layers of the skin, causing immediate collagen contraction and promoting new collagen production over time.
Completion: After the treatment, the skin may appear slightly red or swollen, but this usually subsides within a few hours. There is typically no downtime after Thermage, so patients can immediately return to their daily activities.
