Does Thermage cause facial stiffness? How long does Thermage last?

The tightening and lifting effects of Thermage are immediate and will not directly change tissue volume and muscle activity. Although Thermage is very effective and very common, if it is not done properly, there may be sequelae.

The treatment effect of Thermage is gradual and will not directly change tissue volume or muscle activity, so it will not affect facial expressions. Thermage, also known as radiofrequency skin tightening, is a monopolar radiofrequency beauty skin tightening device; its principle is to use the heat energy generated by electromagnetic waves to act on the skin, which can reach the dermis and part of the subcutaneous layer of the skin, activate skin collagen and fibers, and reconstruct the collagen scaffold, thereby achieving the effects of skin tightening, lifting and anti-wrinkle.

Thermage is different from injection wrinkle removal in that it improves the skin condition from the inside out. Under normal circumstances, one treatment can last for 2 to 5 years, or even longer, depending on the postoperative care and the individual's skin and physical condition. Therefore, it is not recommended to have multiple treatments in a short period of time.

Thermage is a non-surgical radio frequency device certified by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and the mainland S U.S. Food and Drug Administration. It uses a discovery probe to transmit high-energy high-frequency radio waves to the skin layer, which can immediately stimulate the skin to become firmer. At the same time, it stimulates the production of a large amount of collagen, which keeps the firming effect for a long time. This effect can last for 2 to 3 years, and if it is well maintained, it will last longer. This problem can easily lead people into misunderstandings. In fact, Thermage is different from the general maintenance version of radio wave skin tightening. The general version needs to be done many times, and the energy cannot reach that high. Of course, the effect is also average, so it needs to be done for a long time. Thermage is one of the few radio frequency devices that can achieve the purpose of skin tightening in one treatment. It can be done once, and it cannot be done in a short time. Because although it is safe and reliable and protects the skin, it relies on thermal damage to stimulate the skin to produce self-reaction to achieve the effect. The skin's tolerance has a recovery period, so not only can't do Thermage again within a month, but also can't do other light therapy. The most important thing is that Thermage can achieve the effect in one treatment.

The fifth-generation Thermage has its own patented Comfort Pulse TechnologyTM. During the entire operation, the doctor will also adjust the energy parameters according to your actual reaction. Therefore, the whole treatment is very comfortable and there will be no pain.
