Is Thermage Safe?

Thermage is one of the safest procedures because it is non-invasive. During treatment, the skin is heated from the surface and there is a cryogen cooling safety mechanism built inside the radiofrequency laser to make sure the top layer of the skin is not burnt and heat is transferred evenly to deeper layers of skin. The laser also caliberates the thickness of every patient’s skin and customizes the depth of the energy that will be sent through the skin, recalibrating with every pulse.
