tighter, smoother and more youthful.
Over time, you will notice additional tightening.
How long after my treatment will the effects of the
Thermage Procedure last?
The Thermage procedure causes immediate tightening of the collagen
structure, with additional tightening over time. Unpublished reports by
experienced cosmetic physicians indicate that results may last 24 - 36
months or longer based on the patient’s natural ageing process.
Is the Thermage procedure safe?
The Thermage procedure has an excellent safety record. With over
190,000 estimated worldwide patient treatments to date the reported
incidence of side effects is less than 0.4%. The most frequently reported
incidents are classified as swelling, redness, bumps and blisters on or
around the treated area. These side effects have disappeared in a
few days or weeks. A rare (<0.11%) but longer lasting side effect
described as a surface irregularity has also been reported.
Consult with your doctor regarding this and any other questions you
may have on the safety record of the Thermage procedure.
