How Long Until I Can Return To My Normal Activities After Thermage?

Book Consultation Pricing By Treatment
You can return to your usual routine right after treatment--Thermage & XTherma requires no downtime. That said, for the best results and a smooth recovery, it's important to follow a few aftercare guidelines. For the first 24 hours, avoid direct heat and sweating, including steam rooms, saunas, hot yoga, and intense workouts. Skip hot showers and baths, and use cool water and gentle soap when bathing. After cleansing, pat skin dry with a clean, soft towel. To protect your skin in the days that follow, avoid direct sun exposure and tanning beds. Wear SPF 30+ daily, and use wide-brimmed hats, sunglasses, and protective clothing when outdoors. Also, avoid topical irritants like harsh cleansers, exfoliants, medicated products, or retinols during the recovery period. To soothe any irritation or sensitivity, apply 1% hydrocortisone mixed with Vaseline® or Aquaphor® up to three times a day or as needed.

How does Thermage work?

Thermage & XTherma uses radiofrequency energy to heat the deeper layers of your skin, stimulating natural collagen production for a firmer, lifted appearance--without surgery or needles.

When will I see results?

While some patients notice a difference right away, results continue to improve over 3 to 6 months as new collagen forms.

How long do results last?

Thermage & XTherma results can last up to a year or more, with annual maintenance treatments recommended for lasting benefits.

Is Thermage safe for all skin types?

Yes--Thermage & XTherma are FDA-cleared and safe for all skin tones and types, when performed by trained medical professionals, like our clinicians, and paired with proper aftercare.
