What is the Thermage® Procedure Like?
Thermage® is a remarkably comfortable procedure with integrated cooling, vibration, and safety features designed to minimize any discomfort. You’ll undergo Thermage® in the comfort of ZENA Medical’s treatment rooms.
You’ll feel heat as the device is moved over your treatment area, followed by cooling and continuous vibration to soothe any uncomfortable sensations. Because the procedure involves no cutting, no needles, and no damage to the skin’s surface, you’re free to return to your busy schedule after your 60-90 minute session. Thermage® is even safe enough to treat delicate areas around the eyes and mouth.
Is There Any Downtime with Thermage®?
Without any controlled injuries to recover from, there is no downtime with Thermage®. Some patients experience minor swelling or redness, but these are mild and subside within 24 hours.
What Results Can I Expect After a Thermage® Treatment?
Thermage® is so remarkable, it will take only one treatment to see results. Patients can see visible, measurable improvement as early as two to four weeks following treatment. Optimal results can be seen between three to six months. Collagen fibers take time to replenish, so you’ll continue to see lines and wrinkles fade, jowls diminish, and skin tighten for up to six months.
These new collagen fibers are here to stay, so your rejuvenation has no end. Thermage® cannot stop new signs of age from forming, however, so Dr. Zena often recommends beginning treatment for patients in their 30s to keep age at arm’s length for longer. Yearly maintenance treatments are also beneficial for prolonging the effects of Thermage® for the long term.
