Clinical Pearls & Key Features:
- Thermage is a single treatment procedure with no injections, no surgery and little to no downtime. It has been proven safe and effective in more than 50 peer-reviewed articles with a reported safety record of 99.8% on over 800,000 patient treatments in over 100 countries worldwide.
- Monopolar delivery of energy allows heat to penetrate deeply into the subcutaneous layers of the skin, beyond the depth achievable with laser technologies. Thermage’s patented capacitive coupling technology allows the energy to be distributed uniformly over the treatment tip area, and provides controlled and consistent delivery of heat into a targeted volume of tissue.
- Patented Comfort Pulse Technology™ and a vibrating handpiece provide significantly improved patient comfort during treatment.
- The Thermage system offers a broad selection of treatment tips, each featuring a unique heating profile, giving you the flexibility to customize treatments for different needs and body areas such as the face, eyes, abdomen, arms, thighs and buttocks.
Before and After:
Commentary:
“Thermage utilizes best-in-class radiofrequency technology and now, with the introduction of the Thermage CPT, delivers more therapeutic heat across the treatment area, allowing for a more efficient skin tightening treatment. My patients ask for Thermage by name and it is my #1 choice for non-surgical skin tightening.”
