The ThermaCool procedure, also known as the Thermage procedure, is an advanced method for tightening loose skin that requires only the touch of a sophisticated treatment tip to your skin. The treatment tip delivers radiofrequency energy just millimeters under the surface of the skin without the need for incisions, injections, or surgery.



The ThermaCool™ procedure is very safe. This treatment has been carefully studied in hundreds of patients with minimal reports of adverse events. It is common to experience mild redness or swelling after the procedure. For treatment of the face, it is also common to experience some mild soreness under the jawbone. The side effects are minimal compared to traditional face-lifts or other surgical tightening procedures.



The Thermage procedure can take from one-half hour to an hour and thirty minutes depending on the body part(s) to be treated. A typical Thermage "face lift" procedure may take one hour.

Recently published studies conducted by Thermage show that measurable tightening improvements appear gradually over 2 to 6 months after a single treatment. In some cases, our physicians have obtained dramatic results in as little as three weeks.
