The Science Behind Thermage® Skin Tightening

Are you interested in tightening and firming your skin but not quite ready for a facelift? Thermage® might be the solution you’ve been searching for.

This non-invasive treatment utilizes radiofrequency technology to stimulate collagen production and promote smoother skin. It’s ideal for those seeking subtle, natural-looking rejuvenation without taking time off from work or daily activities.

At Ohio Clinic for Aesthetic and Plastic Surgery, our patients benefit from the leadership of Dr. Michael Wojtanowski, a board-certified plastic surgeon nationally recognized for his expertise. Thermage is one of our most sought-after options for skin tightening.

How Thermage Works

Thermage uses a specialized device that delivers radiofrequency (RF) energy deep into the skin’s dermal layers. This heat stimulates the body’s innate renewal process, encouraging the production of new collagen over time.

Here’s what happens during a typical session:

  • Targeted RF energy heats deep layers of the skin. Meanwhile, the surface is protected with a cooling spray.
  • Collagen fibers contract and tighten instantly. This creates a subtle lift.
  • New collagen production continues for months. Over time, skin texture and elasticity continue to improve.

Unlike lasers, which target the skin’s surface, Thermage works from the inside out. That means it’s safe for all skin types and can be used around the eyes, on the face, and even on the body. Target areas often include:

  • The forehead and brow to reduce drooping
  • The jawline and chin to define contours
  • The neck to minimize sagging skin
  • The abdomen or thighs for body firming

What Sets Thermage Apart?

Many non-surgical treatments promise significant skin firming, but few offer the depth and durability of Thermage. It stands out because:

  • Only one session is needed for a noticeable change.
  • There is little to no downtime.
  • It creates natural-looking improvements that continue over time.
  • Results are long-lasting, often up to a year or more.
  • It can benefit all skin tones.

Thermage is also customizable. Providers at Ohio Clinic will adjust treatment parameters to match your skin type and personal goals, ensuring the most effective and comfortable experience possible.
