Thermage is a non-invasive cosmetic procedure that helps to improve the signs of aging. Thermage results are mixed, with some patients requiring more treatments to get the results promised. The product works to contour and tighten the skin, with fewer treatments and a less invasive procedure as compared to a face lift. The product stimulates the body's natural production of collagen, which then creates the smoother skin in the area treated. The treatment only takes a few days for full recovery, making it a weekend procedure. Most patients need only one treatment to see results.
