About Thermage
In 2002, Thermage pioneered the science of non-invasive radiofrequency energy for skin tightening and contouring. And since then, we've continued to improve our technology and treatment protocols as part of our commitment to safety. Today, as a result, Thermage is the gold standard for safe, effective tightening and contouring.
Engineered for Safety and Efficacy
To ensure the safest and most effective treatment possible, we've reengineered the procedure to use larger tips, multiple passes at moderate power settings, and patient feedback as a way to determine treatment levels. Even more, our advanced tip technology ensures the skin is adequately cooled before and after energy is delivered. It all translates to patient safety, clinical efficacy, improved patient comfort, faster treatments and practice success. In short, we've never stopped innovating—and you can see it in the satisfaction of patients.
Patient Satisfaction
Patients will be happier with the results and the treatment experience with the Thermage CPT system. 100% of study patients* preferred treatment with the Thermage CPT system vs. treatment with prior technologies. Average patient satisfaction scores 3 months post treatment were 4.2 out of 5 (1=dissatisfied, 5=very satisfied).
Side Effects & Patient Comfort
Side effects are generally mild and may include redness, swelling, blisters, bumps and rare instances of surface irregularities. Our new energy delivery algorithm interweaves pulsed radiofrequency delivery with cooling bursts mimicking Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation ("TENS") therapy, to disrupt the brain's neural response and improve comfort during treatment. A new vibrating handpiece offers a clinically proven improvement in patient comfort. In controlled, split-faced clinical studies, comparing treatment of over 40 patients with vibration to treatment without vibration, all patients preferred being treated with vibration.
Thermage is indicated for the non-invasive treatment of wrinkles and rhytids. It is also cleared for the temporary improvement in the appearance of cellulite. In addition, Thermage is the first and only system to receive FDA clearance for non-invasive eyelid treatments.
