ThermiLift /ThermiTight delivers radiofrequency energy underneath your skin to tighten it and stimulate the production of strengthening collagen. It doesn’t affect the surface of your skin at all and so will not worsen your melasma. If you’re concerned about brown spots on your skin, you might consider adding Clear and Brilliant to your ThermiTight treatment. Consulting with a board-certified dermatologist will help you come up with an ideal combination of therapies to get the results you want.
Hello and thank you for your question. Yes, you can have a ThermiLift or Thermage treatment on skin with melasma. ThermiLift and Thermage use radiofrequency energy to heat the underlying layers of the skin gently, stimulating collagen production and resulting in improved skin appearance, texture, and tone. Therefore, there is no risk of hyperpigmentation with these treatments. Schedule an in-person consultation with a board-certified facial plastic surgeon for a full consultation and to get more information about whether a ThermiLift or Thermage treatment is right for you. Good luck!- Elbert T. Cheng, MD
