Question

How long after thermage on face shoud one avoid NSAIDs? Since it takes 6 months to get full thermage results, is this the time to avoid NSAIDs too? Are there other agents to avoid after thermage treatment?

Brian S. Biesman, MD · Answer

While there is some concern that suppresing inflammation may decrease the results of a nonnvasive skin tightening treatment, I do not believe that NSAIDs are likely to modify the outcomes achieved with Thermage. I have been performing Thermage for 9 years or so and have never been able to make this correlation.

There&rsquo;s no evidence that you have to worry about NSAIDs with Thermage. I think you can take them right away as there&rsquo;s no indication that you have to wait.
