As we get older and age, our bodies undergo a natural transformation, including the skin, our body’s largest organ.
Over time, our skin adapts to this evolving rhythm, often manifesting as fine lines and wrinkles. This happens as our innate collagen production gradually diminishes or becomes compromised, resulting in looser skin.
As we fully embrace the natural process of aging as a positive evolution, we also highly value the importance of maintaining our best appearance and well-being throughout this journey. This not only boosts self-confidence but also plays a pivotal role in enhancing mental health and overall life satisfaction.
It’s also worth noting that skin laxity can be associated with various other conditions, including significant weight loss.
At aspireMD, located in St. Catharines, Ontario, we’ve discovered that Thermage skin tightening treatment is both a safe and effective solution for skin tightening. Beyond its remarkable skin-tightening benefits, Thermage has proven invaluable in addressing concerns like reducing textural irregularities.
In this blog post, we’ll explore what to anticipate before and after Thermage, whether it’s done on the face, neck/chest or body.
What is Thermage?
Thermage is a non-invasive radiofrequency therapy that applies heat to skin layers to stimulate skin tightening.
Thermage is a proven, unique radiofrequency treatment that will help improve the appearance of sagging or loose skin, giving you a firmer, smoother and younger look and feel. Thermage radiofrequency energy works with your body, remodeling your collagen to help your skin achieve a tighter look and feel.
How Does Thermage Work?
There’s a whole science behind radiofrequency, but here’s the summary:
- When the Thermage device is applied to your skin, it emits controlled heat energy directed toward the deeper layers where collagen is abundant.
- This causes the existing collagen fibers to immediately tighten, creating an instant firming effect on your skin.
- This process subsequently initiates a natural healing response, promoting the production of new collagen and elastin.
The combination of instant firming and gradual collagen regeneration ensures that your results are effective and have a long-lasting impact.
What is Thermage Used For?
Thermage offers versatile treatment options for a range of body areas, encompassing the face, chest, arms, abdomen, and even knees. It’s great for tightening loose skin around:
- Face
- Neck
- Chin/Jawline
- Chest
- Hands
- Body

During your consultation, our medical professionals will comprehensively assess your unique needs and offer personalized recommendations to help attain your desired results.
How Long Do Thermage Results Last?
While you might immediately feel the skin tightening effect following Thermage, results peak at around 3 months and continue for up to 1 year.
What To Expect Before and After Thermage Treatment?
Before your treatment, here are some tips to get ready:
- Drink plenty of water before, on the day of, and after the procedure for better results.
- If you’re taking any medications, discuss these during your consultation.
- Use of topicals a month before treatment. Don’t worry, we sort this out by preparing your skin with the appropriate skincare.
After your treatment and for a few days afterwards, you may notice some swelling and redness in the treated area. It’s also common to experience sensitivity, dryness and/or peeling in that area for a few days. However, rest assured that these are expected reactions and should be resolved quickly. You can use an over-the-counter pain reliever, like Tylenol.
Also, make sure to follow the specific post-treatment instructions provided during your consultation, as these can be tailored to your medical history and age.
