Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about THERMAGE - FACE AND NECK.

A typical THERMAGE face and neck session lasts about 45 to 90 minutes depending on treatment area and settings. Consultation and skin prep add time. Our technicians customize duration to deliver safe, effective energy while maximizing comfort and results.

Most clients experience brief warming and mild prickling as RF energy heats the dermis. We use cooling and pulse technology plus topical numbing if needed. Discomfort is generally minimal and transient, and many patients tolerate treatment without anesthesia.

Immediate skin tightening is often noticeable, with collagen remodeling improving tone and texture over 2 to 6 months. Many clients report continued gradual enhancement up to a year. Individual results vary based on age, skin condition, and number of treatments.

Often a single treatment provides meaningful improvement, but some patients benefit from a touch-up or combined modalities. Your provider will recommend a personalized plan during consultation based on skin laxity, goals, and expected timeline for results.

Side effects are usually mild and temporary: redness, swelling, or slight tenderness that resolves within hours to a few days. Rarely, temporary numbness or blistering can occur. We review risks, pre- and post-care to minimize complications and optimize healing.

Ideal candidates have mild to moderate skin laxity and realistic expectations, seeking non-surgical tightening. Good general health and stable skin condition matter. A consultation will assess skin thickness, medical history, and whether RF therapy alone or combined approaches best meet your goals.
