Is Thermage painful?

Thermage procedure pain level is in control of the patient. Patient will let the doctor know how much heat sensation he is able to tolerate on the scale 1-4, 1 being warm, 2 being hot, 3 being very hot or 4 can't take it. The doctor will adjust settings of Thermage device according to patient's tolerance.

Most patients are prescribed pain medication to take off the edge of the treatment and to make their experience more pleasant. 100 % of patients treated by us are able to finish this procedure with out any problems. Body Thermage is little more uncomfortable and patient needs heavier medication for that but still is tolerable.
