Thermage is FDA approved for tightening loose facial and body skin. The Thermage device received clearance from the FDA in July 2002 and has been available in selected Richmond doctors' offices since then.
An appearance on Oprah launched Thermage to household name status several years ago. Thermage is not surgery and requires virtually no downtime, meaning that patients can return to normal activities immediately following the procedure. A handpiece with a smooth, flat tip delivers radiofrequency energy, in the form of heat into the skin, causing immediate tightening of collagen.
Thermage claims that following treatment, new collagen will form over time, resulting in additional tightening and skin that will look smoother and more youthful as the tighter underlying collagen offers better support.
When the radiofrequency energy is applied to the skin, you'll feel an intense but brief heating sensation. To keep you comfortable and protect the surface of your skin, a cooling spray is applied before, during and after each application of energy.
