I always tell my patients that the beauty of Thermage is "no downtime." This is a procedure that I recommend as a yearly or biannual treatment to maintain collagen in the dermis and to correct early skin laxity on the body and face. Thermage works by shrinking and renewing collagen in the skin. It does not affect the surface sun damage so it is best combined with a surface treatment like a peel, laser or IPL if downtime is acceptable. When Thermage works for a patient, I highly recommend that it be used to keep the skin tones and the dermis healthy. All the best to you. Dr Alexis Parker
