Thermage, Non-Surgical Skin Tightening, Thermage CPT

Trevor M. Born, MD answers: Do I need to protect my dental work before I get Thermage treatments?

After a report by the FDA in 2004, Thermage published a Technical note to protect dental work with cotton rolls. Is it still recommended to protect dental work? If so, what happens if I don't?

Thank you for your question!

Protecting the dental work is easy to do- you can place dental pleggets over the teeth for the time period that the area is being treated.

The new Thernage CPT is a fantastic new upgrade to decrease the discomfort of the treatment and improve the results of skin tightening!

With Warm Regards,

Trevor M Born MD
