Thermage® CPT™ is a non-surgical radiofrequency (RF) procedure that tightens the skin and stimulates new collagen production, making it a highly effective skin tightening treatment. Using a vibrating handpiece, pulsating energy, and cooling burst technology, Thermage ensures superior patient comfort throughout the process. Over 1 million Thermage treatments have been performed worldwide, helping countless individuals achieve a more youthful appearance. Unlike a traditional facelift, Thermage treatments have allowed residents in Vancouver, BC, and beyond to reduce the signs of aging, such as mild laxity and wrinkled skin on the face and neck, without undergoing surgery. Many patients are amazed by their Thermage before and after results, seeing noticeable improvements in their skin’s firmness and overall tone.
SKIN TIGHTENING BENEFITS
Thermage treatment offers numerous benefits for those seeking a non-invasive approach to anti-aging and skin tightening:
- Non-invasive brow and jowl lift for sagging skin
- Very safe with no downtime
- Non-surgical skin tightening that enhances facial contours
- Commonly used for neck tightening and improving the skin’s elasticity
These benefits make Thermage a popular choice for individuals looking to rejuvenate their appearance without the need for invasive procedures.
HOW THERMAGE® WORKS
The Thermage procedure is a non-invasive skin tightening treatment that uses patented radiofrequency energy, delivered through a sophisticated treatment tip, to target the skin’s deep layers. As the deep tissues are heated, the top skin layers are protected with a unique cooling spray, ensuring patient comfort. This deep volumetric heating causes the skin to tighten and promotes the growth of new, healthier collagen, leading to a more youthful and firmer appearance. Thermage treatments are highly effective for anti-aging and skin care, offering a noticeable lift and smoothing effect without the need for surgery.
WHAT TO EXPECT DURING A THERMAGE® TREATMENT
A Thermage session can take up to 3 hours, depending on the treatment area. To ensure a comfortable experience, we offer various forms of medication as needed. Due to the medications used, it is important that patients arrange for an escorted ride home after the procedure. Patients must not operate machinery or drive an automobile for 12 hours following their Thermage treatment. This allows for a safe recovery period after this advanced skin tightening treatment.
THERMAGE® RESULTS: BEFORE AND AFTER
Many clients notice an initial skin tightening immediately following the Thermage treatment. However, most results appear gradually over 3 to 6 months as new collagen forms and the skin continues to improve. Each individual’s results will vary, but those who follow the recommended treatment schedule often see the best outcomes. Reviewing Thermage before and after photos can provide a clearer picture of the potential benefits and improvements. For sustained results, it is recommended to repeat the treatment every 6 months to 1 year, depending on your specific skin care needs.

- A tender feeling in the treated areas
POST TREATMENT CARE
If you experience any scabbing or crusting, apply polysporin for 3 days to aid healing
