About Thermage

The ThermaCool, initially cleared by FDA in November 2002, is now used in 80 countries by over 2,200 physicians. It is estimated that over 400,000 procedures have been performed with the ThermaCool device. Dr. Knowlton's “great idea” – the ability to tighten tissue, non-invasively – has become mainstream in the world of aesthetic cosmetic procedures.

Thermage® is a safe, non-invasive, no downtime, cosmetic procedure that is clinically proven to tighten, contour and rejuvenate skin to help naturally restore a more youthful appearance.

Thermage treatments are only performed in a doctor's office by Thermage-certified personnel. The Thermage procedure is fast and easy, and requires no downtime from normal activities. Normally, the complete procedure can be performed in just one session lasting from 20 minutes to two hours, depending on the treatment area. Unlike lasers, the procedure can be performed on patients of all skin colour.

(General anesthesia is not required, but to make sure you are comfortable the doctor may offer light pain medications prior to treatment).
