Can Thermage be used in conjunction of other treatments to deal with fine lines, sun damage, and rosacea?

Question

Can Thermage be combined with other treatments that will smooth/eliminate fine lines and scars, and improve/eliminate rosacea and sun damaged skin? Thank you, TC

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

Im often doing thermage in combination with multiple lasers and skin care.  A package I offer my patients is pulsed dye/VBEAM laser for redness first, then thermage, then fractional lasers like Clear + Brilliant , Fraxel or CO2 on top with microneedling.  This makes the skin look absolutely amazing.  I suggest finding a cosmetic dermatologist with experience in lasers, radiofrequency and combination treatments.  Best, Dr. Emer.

In short, yes. Thermage is a great option for skin tightening on its own, but many patients want to resolve more than 1 concern. It's perfectly safe to combine Thermage with another treatment. Adding a fractional laser treatment can further improve the condition of your skin by gently resurfacing it. Injectable fillers can target specific wrinkles for a truly customized result. Most doctors will be happy to work with you to develop a more comprehensive treatment plan to help you get exactly the results you want. Good luck!

Thermage results depend in part on the skin's ability to produce new collagen.  Very sun damaged skin will not respond as well.   A series of fractionated laser resurfacing treatments will do more to tighten and improve texture and color of sun damaged skin. Thermage can be done safely in patients with rosacea and otherwise healthy skin - it wont aggravate their redness or pimples.  However, it is not a treatment for either of those concerns.  Thermage can be used in conjunction with other procedures like pigment or vascular lasers, laser resurfacing, fillers, botulinum toxin and ultrasound.

Absolutely. Thermage can achieve tightening of the skin for laxity. Other modalities like fractional lasers can help the texture of the skin. Fillers can help volumize the face from volume loss. IPL can also help rejuvenate your skin and reduce pigmentation.

Joshua L. Fox, MD · Answer

Certainly.
In fact, I think Thermage is best in combination with other treatment options. Thermage targets the deeper layers of the skin to stimulate tightening and new
collagen. There are several other therapies that it can be combined with to get
the best possible outcome.
