What is a Thermage?
Thermage is a non-invasive radiofrequency treatment that tightens and smooths skin by heating the deep collagen layer, triggering gradual tightening and new collagen growth. The current FLX system is faster and more comfortable than earlier versions. It is popular for mild laxity on the face, eyes, jawline, abdomen, and other body areas.
A session takes 30 to 90 minutes with no downtime — you can return to normal activities immediately. Results build over 2 to 6 months and typically last 1 to 2 years. Most people need only one session.
Thermage works on the surface-to-mid collagen, while Ultherapy targets deeper layers — your provider can advise which suits your laxity.
How much does a Thermage cost?
Thermage nationally typically costs $2,000 to $4,000 per treatment, depending on the area and the number of energy pulses used.
