Thermage is a non-invasive treatment at Palo Alto Laser & Skin Care that targets sagging skin, fine lines, and wrinkles. The goal is to tighten and rejuvenate the skin, providing a youthful, refreshed appearance with minimal downtime and lasting results.
Tighten Collagen Fibers & Achieve Firm Skin
Thermage is a cutting-edge, non-invasive cosmetic procedure that utilizes radiofrequency energy to tighten and rejuvenate the skin on the face and around the eyes. By heating the deeper layers of the skin, Thermage stimulates collagen production and tightens existing collagen fibers, resulting in smoother, firmer skin. It effectively treats sagging skin, fine lines, and wrinkles, particularly around the eyes, face, and neck. The procedure is quick, typically lasting about 45 minutes to an hour, and involves little to no downtime.

Thermage FAQs
How does Thermage work?
Thermage works by using radiofrequency (RF) energy to heat the deeper layers of the skin. The RF energy penetrates the skin, targeting the collagen-rich layers. This heating process causes the collagen fibers to contract and stimulates the production of new collagen over time. The immediate collagen tightening results in firmer skin, while the gradual production of new collagen improves skin texture and reduces wrinkles.
How is Thermage performed?
During a Thermage session, a handheld device delivers radiofrequency energy to your skin, heating the deeper layers while cooling the surface. Most patients experience minimal discomfort, and the procedure typically lasts 45 minutes to an hour.
What are the side effects?
After Thermage, you might experience mild redness, swelling, or tingling in the treated area, which typically subsides within a few hours to a day. Rare side effects include temporary bumps or blisters. Overall, Thermage has a minimal risk of harsh side effects.
Is there any downtime?
Thermage requires minimal to no downtime, allowing you to resume your daily activities immediately after the procedure. At most, you might experience slight redness or swelling, which typically resolves within a few hours. This non-invasive treatment ensures a quick recovery, making it a convenient option for those with busy schedules.
When will the Thermage results appear?
You will notice some immediate skin tightening, with the full results developing gradually over two to six months as collagen production increases and your skin continues to improve.
How long do the Thermage results last?
Thermage results typically last one to two years, depending on your skin condition and aging process. Periodic maintenance treatments are recommended for sustained benefits.
