Thermage is a non-invasive cosmetic procedure that has been one of the common options by a lot of women today. It is reviewed as a miracle worker when it comes to giving your skin the rejuvenation that it needs. But to be a wise consumer, you don t go jumping right into the bandwagon. You must first get to know better what you are subjecting your body to. Aside from the benefits, Thermage also has its disadvantages that you should also be aware of. So here are ten questions to help you get started with what Thermage is all about.

1. What is Thermage and what can it do to my skin?

Thermage is a safe, clinically proven, and non-invasive procedure which uses Radiofrequency (RF) energy to tighten, smooth and give the skin a better contour. Using a intense heat that runs deep into the skin, it stimulates collagen and elastin fibers from the inside and initiate skin renewal on the outside. A single procedure can already give natural-looking results with very little to no downtime.

2. How many sessions do I need to have to get the results that I want?

Even though a single procedure can already provide a positive change, the number of sessions required to make a substantial improvement would depend on the condition of the skin. But typically, a session or two would already suffice for most patients.

3. Is Thermage safe?

Thermage is very safe, but you can expect minor side effects which can be easily relieved. Its safety can be proven from the studies conducted on hundreds of patients with very little reports of adverse effects.

4. Who is a good candidate for Thermage?

Basically anyone can get thermage. But for better results it is best that you have healthy skin, a non-smoker, and preferably younger. By younger, it means that a person who is 70 years old would not have the same impressive results compared to someone who is 50.

5. How much does Thermage cost?

The cost of Thermage is around $2000-$3000, but the prices vary for different clinics.

6. Is Thermage suitable for younger people?

The cosmetic surgeon will be the one who can fully determine who will be the perfect candidate for Thermage, and this can be determined during the consultation. However clinical data gathered during the study supports that the age group in focus are those between 35-55 years old.

7. What is the difference between Thermage and Thermage CPT?

Thermage and Theremage CPT is practically the same when it comes to function. Thermage CPT was developed in order to improve the ease and comfort during the procedure. This is where CPT comes in, and it stands for Comfort Pulse Technology. The problem with the older machine is that during the administration of the procedure it can create prickly and painful sensation, which is the common complain made by patients.

8. Is a doctor required to administer the treatment?

The Thermage treatment can be delegated to other healthcare personnel who are educated and trained on this particular procedure. But in the United States, this will vary for each state, some stricter than others.

9. Is Thermage a good choice of heavy lines and creases?

Thermage can create skin improvement, but for deep creases and heavy facial lines, this wouldn t be the best option. Do not expect surgical results, or even the same ones with injectable fillers because this creates less dramatic results. However it does improve the texture and clears up dark spots.

10. Will Thermage work for different skin types?

Thermage as they say is color blind this means that it safely works on different types of skin. The equipment can be adjusted with the appropriate pulse and energy levels that suits your skin better.
