Thermage is a non-invasive procedure that helps tighten and contour your skin in a single treatment with no downtime.

As we age, the collagen in the deep layers of our skin breaks down and is not regenerated as quickly. This results in sagging skin and wrinkles.

Thermage uses radiofrequency (RF) technology to safely heat the deep layers of skin, while cooling the surface to protect it and provide comfort during the procedure. This deep heating stimulates your body’s natural skin renewal process, which helps tighten existing collagen and trigger the formation of new collagen. Over time, the sagging or wrinkled appearance of aging skin is replaced with smoother, tighter skin an overall younger looking appearance.
