What does the Thermage Procedure feel like?

With each touch of the ThermaTip device, you will experience a brief, deep heating sensation as the RF (radiofrequency) energy is delivered to your skin and underlying tissue.

This deep heating sensation is your indication that your collagen is reaching effective temperatures for tightening. The physician controls the amount of energy delivered to balance procedural comfort with maximum results. The ThermaTip device is cooled before, during, and after heating to protect your skin and make the treatment more comfortable.

Prior to treatment, an anaesthetic cream may be applied to enhance your comfort. Additionally, your physician may also prescribe relaxants and/or pain medication.
