Thermage, as you might already know, revitalizes the skin while making it firmer. Its effectiveness has been demonstrated through numerous tests in the past. Following FDA approval, people have felt more confident about the Thermage procedure, and the technique has increased in popularity in many countries since then.

Based on radio frequency technology, Thermage tightens the existing collagen layers under the skin, while stimulating the production of new collagen . In less than a month after getting a Thermage procedure done, you should start seeing the results. The area and condition of the skin that is undergoing treatment will decide how long a Thermage session will take, and the duration is usually under 2 hours.

However, over the years, several doubts have been raised about the safety of these treatments. There have been cases where people who had undergone the treatment have reported fat atrophy and surface irregularities.

Experts in the field conducted a detailed study to address these doubts and found that these problems were so rare that they could not be seen as a verdict against the safety of Thermage. The research also revealed that only patients who were subjected to high-energy radio waves were victims of these problems. Thus it is clear that only an experienced practitioner, having adequate knowledge of the technique, should be approached for this procedure.

Expert supervision ensures that Thermage leads to no side effects at all, making it a very safe treatment. Today, most doctors can carry out Thermage correctly due to adequate training. Moreover, the technology itself has also undergone improvement over the years.

A cooling spray now tackles the feeling of heat that patients report during the treatment. The spray ensures that the outer layer of the skin remains cool despite heat being directed to the inner layer. Unwanted consequences of Thermage, like mild swelling, which are reported in a very small number of cases also vanish within the span of a week.
