What is Thermage?
Thermage technology combines the thermal effect of unipolar radiofrequency energy with a cooling process that protects the skin’s surface layers in a treatment that’s comfortable for patients.
What does Thermage do?
Under Eye Tightening
Thermage delivers energy beneath the skin to promote collagen production, providing and tightening and lifting effect to the eye area
Improve Facial Contour Features
Thermage delivers energy that can reach the SMAS, dissolving additional fat cells in the jaw area. At the same time, it can treat sagging skin, sagging double chin, and on other parts of the face, and can also improve aging problems such as neck lines, nasolabial folds, and forehead lines.
Remove Cellulite and Body Contour
Thermage is a monopolar radio frequency that stimulates dermal fibroblasts to synthesize and secrete new collagen and accelerate fat metabolism. At the same time, radio frequency energy can also deeply act on fat cells, comprehensively tighten and shape the skin, effectively improve body cellulite, and reduce arm butterfly sleeves. It is effective for treating stretch marks, repairing postpartum abdominal relaxation, and sagging thighs and buttocks
Post-Care Procedures
1. Avoid excessive sun exposure for one month
2. Avoid applying extreme heat or cold to the treatment area, keep treatment area hydrated
3. Avoid hot yoga, sauna, and extreme heat environment
4. Avoid massaging treatment area within one week of the treatment
5. Avoid using retinol, peeling acids within the first week after the treatment
6. Do not intake collagen to avoid malignant hyperplasia of collagen fibers to avoid excessive accumulation of collagen, which may lead to cell degeneration or cell necrosis
How long will the results of Thermage last?
Thermage results typically last between one and two years. The longevity of your results will depend on your aging process and how well you care for your skin. We recommend follow-up treatments every 6 to 12 months, to maintain your results over time. Avoid doing more than 2 Thermage treatment per year.
Benefits

What's the difference between Cynosure 5D Collagen Laser and Thermage?
Comfort Experience
Thermage uses radio frequency technology to heat the skin for treatment, so there may be some degree of pain during operation. Also, the Thermage treatment probe is for single use, making it more expensive.
Cynosure 5D collagen laser uses multi-layer energy to apply laser to the skin, and the entire process is contactless. It also uses a cold air device to cool down, with multiple adjustable low-temperature settings to protect the epidermis in real-time, avoiding epidermal burns, and providing a very comfortable experience. The price is slightly cheaper than Thermage.
Treatment Depth and Wavelength Between Cynosure 5D Collagen Laser and Thermage
Thermage penetrates directly into the dermis layer of the skin, while Cynosure 5D can work on the epidermis layer, dermis layer, and fat layer, and its effect is relatively deeper.
Treatment Duration
Thermage takes about 60 minutes, while Cynosure 5D only takes about 30 minutes.
Treatment Results
Cynosure 5D collagen laser can improve pigment and vascular problems with one operation, restore facial tightness, whitening and tenderness, with immediate and long-lasting effects that can last for 6-12 months. Only 1-2 operations are required per year, and there are no significant side effects.
After Thermage treatment, there may be redness and swelling, and the initial tightness feeling may last longer. However, its effect on pigment and vascular problems is not significant, and there is a risk of burns if the operation is not performed properly.
Targeted Skin Concern
For anti-aging tightening and reducing fine lines, Thermage is a better choice.
As a radio frequency anti-aging treatment, Thermage focuses on comprehensive tightening, and its heat stimulation can promote collagen growth, making the treatment process more painful, but with stronger penetration to solve more facial problems, resulting in a nice lifting effect.
For overall whitening and anti-aging, choose Cynosure 5D collagen laser.
Cynosure 5D collagen laser is a laser-based anti-aging device with two wavelengths of 1064nm and 755nm, which can solve both superficial and deep pigment problems.
Overall comparison
The difference between Cynosure 5D collagen laser and Thermage is not significant. Both are mainstream projects in the current medical beauty anti-aging market, with their respective advantages. If you are concerned about pain and have more skin problems, then Cynosure 5D collagen laser is a better choice. If you only want to do it once and want the effect to last longer, then Thermage is a better choice. The specific choice still depends on individual circumstances.
What is the difference between Ultherapy and Thermage?
Anti-aging is a lifelong pursuit for women, and to achieve a youthful appearance, we must choose the most suitable treatment plan based on our own conditions. There are various anti-aging treatment plans available, and the most popular ones are Ultherapy and Thermage. Both are non-surgical facial skin treatments, but which one is more effective?
The Science Behind Ultherapy and Thermage
Ultherapy uses high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) to penetrate the dermis and fascia layer and form nearly ten thousand coagulation points. This causes the collagen and fibers to contract and stimulates the production and recombination of new collagen fibers. This tightens and lifts the skin from the bottom, improving elasticity.
In contrast, Thermage uses monopolar radiofrequency to send a matrix molecular energy wave that vibrates up to six million times per second, transmitting high-frequency electrical energy to the skin's dermis layer, where it stimulates the release of ACMETEA and activates the regeneration of collagen and elastic fibers, forming a new collagen fiber network. This tightens and lifts the skin, achieving long-lasting results.
Treatment Depth and Temperature
Ultherapy can treat depths of 1.5mm, 3.0mm, and 4.5mm, directly reaching the dermis layer, and the skin's heating temperature can reach 60-70℃, which promotes collagen regeneration. Thermage's treatment depth is reach out to 4.3mm and can only reach the dermis layer and subcutaneous tissue. The heating temperature can reach 40-50℃, stimulating the production of collagen and effectively smoothing wrinkles.
In terms of the skin layer affected, Ultherapy is more effective in treating deeper skin layers than Thermage.
Treatment Results.
Ultherapy is more focused on lifting, and its effects on lifting the skin and improving contours are superior to Thermage. Ultherapy is also known as the ``ultimate sound wave facelift`` and is currently a popular anti-aging treatment.
Targeted Concerns
Ultherapy: targeted at lifting and tightening contours, deep tightening, and suitable for those with severe skin relaxation and sagging. It has a more significant effect on such individuals.
Thermage: targeted at wrinkles, tightening, superficial fat removal, and suitable for those with slight skin relaxation and sagging. It has a significant effect on such individuals.
Result Duration
Ultherapy: the effect of Ultherapy can generally be felt after about one to two weeks. Initially, there is a feeling of skin lifting and tightening. After about two months after surgery, with the regeneration and recombination of collagen, the regeneration of cells, and the gradual enhancement of tissue repair capabilities, regenerative connective tissue can provide lasting support. At the same time, the skin can recover its normal structure, achieving a sustained support effect. The effect can generally last for 4-5 years after multiple treatments.
Thermage: the postoperative effect of Thermage is relatively slow to show compared to Ultherapy due to the lower parameters. After about two weeks, the skin will show changes in lifting and tightening. After about three months, fine lines, smile lines, and other wrinkles will fade. However, Thermage has a significant advantage in treating small areas with rich nerves, such as fine wrinkles around the eyes, tear grooves in the orbital bottom, and marionette lines. The collagen protein sense of the skin is strong, especially the apple muscles become full. The postoperative effect can generally last for about three years.
Treatment Time
Ultherapy: generally, depending on the degree of aging of the patient's skin, performing a full-face ultrasonic knife requires about 30 minutes of anesthesia and about 60 minutes of treatment time.
Thermage: according to the standard of full-face operation, the treatment time is relatively shorter than Ultherapy, about 30-40 minutes.
Suitable Candidate
Ultherapy: Ultherapy focus on lifting and are suitable for patients with obvious signs of aging, such as deep wrinkles, eye wrinkles, and smile lines, or patients with more flesh on their faces, and are suitable for Patients with severe aging and sagging skin.
Thermage: Thermage focuses on tightening and is suitable for patients with deep eye wrinkles and severe collagen loss. It focuses on removing wrinkles, tightening, and superficial fat removal and is suitable for Patients with slight skin relaxation and sagging.
Which is better, Ultherapy or Thermage?
Ultherapy and Thermage both have good effects in reducing wrinkles and tightening, but Ultherapy tend to have more fat-burning and tightening effects, while Thermage has a relatively stronger lifting effect. Ultimately, which one to choose depends on the individual's specific situation and needs.
