How many passes are done with Thermage for optimum results?

Question

I had Thermage treatment to my thighs today. The nurse did one pass at a level of 3.5. After reading many articles on the procedure, if seems as though several passes are done to achieve a better result.

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

The total tip is 1200 pulses which takes roughly 45-60 minutes and is many passes and vectors on the face. I suggest you see a core physician for treatment.  Best, Dr. Emer.

Thermage requires multiple passes for optimal results. Success depends upon many factors. However , energy level alone is not the answer. Appropriate placement of pulses, overlap as necessary , vector placement , and additional attention to specific problem areas are just part of the nuances of the technique. Just using the black grid as a one pass is not optimal. Number of pulses and frequency of pulses is also important. I have performed over 7000 Thermage procedures. Every patient is different.

Michele S. Green, MD · Answer

In order to treat the treat the thighs, a 1200 total tip should be making several passes with the appropriate vectors.  Please consult a board certified dermatologist withe experience with Thermage for the best cosmetic results.
