Body Thermage is a non-surgical body skin tightening treatment designed to improve firmness, elasticity, and overall body contour using radiofrequency (RF) energy. This treatment targets skin laxity caused by aging, weight loss, or reduced collagen, helping restore smoother and more toned body contours without surgery.

What Is Body Thermage?

Body Thermage uses controlled monopolar radiofrequency energy to heat the deeper layers of the skin. This thermal stimulation triggers collagen contraction and long-term collagen regeneration, leading to gradual tightening and improved skin quality across treated body areas.

Benefits of Body Thermage

Body Thermage may provide several body-enhancing benefits, including:

• Improved skin firmness and elasticity
• Tightening of loose or crepey skin
• Enhanced body contour definition
• Collagen stimulation for long-term improvement
• Non-surgical treatment with minimal downtime

Who Is Body Thermage Suitable For?

Body Thermage may be suitable for individuals who:

• Have mild to moderate skin laxity on the body
• Experience loose skin after weight loss or aging
• Want non-surgical body tightening
• Prefer gradual, natural-looking results
• Seek maintenance or preventative body rejuvenation

It is not intended for significant fat removal or severe skin laxity requiring surgery.

Common Areas Treated with Body Thermage

Body Thermage is commonly used to treat:

• Abdomen
• Arms (upper arms / bat wings)
• Thighs (inner and outer)
• Knees
• Buttocks
• Flanks and waist
• Back and bra-line area

Treatment areas are selected based on skin laxity and contour goals.

How Body Thermage Works

The treatment process typically includes:

1. Body assessment and treatment planning
2. Application of a treatment grid and cooling system
3. Delivery of controlled RF energy to deep skin layers
4. Immediate collagen contraction and gradual remodeling
5. Return to daily activities after treatment

⏱ Typical session: 45–90 minutes per area
🩹 Downtime: Minimal

When to Expect Results

Some individuals may notice early firmness shortly after treatment. More visible tightening and skin improvement typically develop over 2–4 months as collagen regeneration progresses.

How Long Body Thermage Results Last

Body Thermage results typically last 12–24 months, depending on age, skin condition, lifestyle factors, and natural aging. Maintenance treatments may help prolong results.

Body Thermage vs Other Body Tightening Treatments

Body Thermage differs from other body treatments:

• Uses monopolar radiofrequency technology
• Focuses on deep collagen stimulation
• Does not involve injections or fat freezing
• Provides long-lasting skin tightening effects

It may be combined with body contouring or injectable treatments for enhanced results.

Body Thermage Aftercare Guidelines

After treatment, general recommendations include:

• Avoiding strenuous exercise for 24 hours
• Avoiding excessive heat exposure for several days
• Staying well hydrated
• Following post-treatment body-care instructions

Frequently Asked Questions About Body Thermage

Does Body Thermage reduce fat?

Body Thermage focuses on skin tightening and contour improvement rather than fat removal.

Is Body Thermage painful?

Discomfort varies by individual and treatment area but is generally tolerable due to integrated cooling technology.

How often should Body Thermage be repeated?

Many individuals repeat treatment once every 1–2 years, depending on skin condition and goals.
