Thermage

How it works

Imagine this: a wand dances across your skin, sending precisely calibrated RF waves deep within your skin.

This thermal spell doesn't sear, but stimulates, creating invisible waves of energy that spark your body's natural repair crew. Collagen, the sculptor of skin's plumpness, gets a wake-up call, while elastin, the architect of bounce, regains its youthful strut.

Benefits

The result? A breathtaking transformation!

Fine lines and wrinkles soften, sagging jowls regain their definition, and your once-loose canvas tightens back up. Thermage even wields its RF magic to sculpt facial contours, redefine jawlines and brows, and even smooth out cellulite's dimpled whispers. All this, without the harsh whispers of downtime or scars.

Warning

However, while Thermage is a skin whisperer extraordinaire, it's not for every ear to hear.

Pregnant or breastfeeding women, those with certain medical conditions like pacemakers or metal implants, and those with active skin infections should give Thermage a respectful pause. A consultation with Dr. Nicha is key to ensuring this RF symphony resonates with your unique skin story and goals.

Keep in mind

So, if you're ready to uncurl the silk of youthful skin, Thermage might just be the perfect conductor.

Remember, a qualified practitioner holds the baton to unlocking this potent RF therapy, leading you to a harmonious chorus of youthful radiance in your skin's grand opera.

Safety

Before the Procedure

Consultation

Discuss your expectations, medical history, and any medications you're taking with a qualified dermatologist experienced in Thermage.

Hydration

Stay well-hydrated in the days leading up to the procedure to enhance collagen production and optimize skin health.

Stop topical products

Avoid using retinoids, glycolic acid, or other exfoliating products for at least one week before the procedure.

Metal-free zone

Remove all metal jewelry, piercings, and hairpins before the procedure as they can interfere with the radiofrequency waves.

Realistic expectations

Understand that Thermage results are gradual and may take several weeks to become fully visible. Don't expect instant transformations.

Safety

After the Procedure

Redness and swelling

Expect some temporary redness and minimal swelling in the treated area, usually subsiding within a few days.

Discomfort management

Apply ice packs as instructed by your doctor to reduce swelling and discomfort.

Gentle cleansing

Gently cleanse the treated area with a mild cleanser and apply a soothing moisturizer as directed by your doctor.

Avoid irritation

Resist the urge to pick at or rub the treated area to minimize the risk of infection.

Sun protection

Continue to avoid sun exposure for several weeks after the procedure and wear sunscreen with SPF 50 and UV protective garment to protect stimulated collagen.

Follow-up appointments

Attend all scheduled follow-up appointments with your doctor to monitor progress and address any concerns.

Safety Considerations

Choose a qualified provider

Ensure you choose a board-certified dermatologist or cosmetic surgeon with experience in treatments.

Discuss potential risks

Understand the potential risks associated with the procedure, such as temporary burns, tingling sensations, and temporary changes in skin pigmentation.

Certain conditions may not be suitable

Thermage might not be suitable for pregnant or breastfeeding women, individuals with certain medical implants, or those with active skin infections.

Listen to your body

Pay attention to any signs of infection, excessive bleeding, or severe pain, and contact your doctor immediately if you experience them.

Additional Tips

Stay hydrated

Continue to drink plenty of water after the procedure to promote healing and collagen production.

Healthy habits matter

Adopt a healthy lifestyle with balanced diet, exercise, and proper sleep to maximize Thermage results and overall skin health.

Maintain skincare routine

Continue your regular skincare routine, excluding harsh exfoliating products, to enhance skin health and support Thermage effects.

Manage stress

Stress can negatively impact skin health. Practice relaxation techniques like yoga or meditation to support your recovery.
