Thermage is rightly described as a facelift without a scalpel. It is a bloodless method—fast, easy, with an excellent safety profile—and does not require any downtime from daily routines.
It delivers impressive results with just a single one-hour session, unlike many laser treatments that require four or more sessions.
It provides skin tightening and facial contour renewal in just one visit.
Unlike laser treatments, Thermage can be applied to all patients regardless of skin type.
Thermage treatment represents the latest advancement in radiofrequency technology. It includes certified Capacitive Radiofrequency (CRF) technology known as ThermaCool, which has been approved by the FDA for the non-invasive treatment of facial folds and wrinkles.
The monopolar Thermage radiofrequency available at the Profile Plastic Surgery & Laser Center is six times more powerful than bipolar radiofrequency, which is used by the vast majority of aesthetic centers in Northern Greece.
A Thermatip handpiece is used for the application, delivering RF energy that heats the deeper layers of the skin and subcutaneous tissues, resulting in tightening of the deeper skin structures.
A repeat session is recommended every two years for prevention and maintenance of results.

Treatment duration at the Center: 15 minutes to 1 hour, depending on the size of the treated area. Additional time may be required for skin preparation prior to treatment. No anesthesia is required.
Thermage offers an excellent safety profile. Most patients return to their daily activities immediately after the session. Some may experience mild redness (similar to sunburn), which usually subsides very quickly. No special aftercare is required.
