Skin Rejuvenation

Does face contouring hurt?

Most patients find face contouring very tolerable. During your Juvéderm Voluma XC appointment, you may feel a quick pinch or light pressure with each injection, but the formula contains lidocaine to help minimize discomfort. For Thermage, you’ll feel brief pulses of heat as the radiofrequency energy stimulates collagen beneath the skin, followed by a cooling sensation that keeps the surface comfortable. Both treatments are designed with patient comfort in mind, and any mild sensitivity typically fades within a few hours.

What does Thermage feel like?

You’ll feel short bursts of heat followed by cooling; most patients describe it as a warm, tingling sensation.

Is there soreness afterward?

Some tenderness or mild swelling can occur for a day or two, especially around the cheeks or jawline, but it fades quickly.

Can I take anything if I feel sore later?

If needed, your clinician can recommend safe over-the-counter options to ease any temporary discomfort.
