Will I lose any weight after the Thermage treatment?

Question

Douglas Wu, MD · Answer

Neither Thermage nor any of the other body-contouring treatments — such as ThermiTIght, Vanquish, CoolSculpting, and even liposuction —will result in weight loss. You are eliminating fat and tightening skin, but you should think in terms of inches removed, not pounds. That’s one reason why it’s important to be at or near a very healthy weight. You are sculpting an ideal body by removing excess fat from certain areas where it tends to collect owing to hormonal imbalances or genetics — such as the lower abdomen or hips. The amount of fat removed is significant enough to make a tremendous difference and beautiful improvement in your proportions, but not enough to make a significant difference in the numbers you see on your scale. Consulting with a board-certified dermatologist will help you understand the benefits of these amazing techniques that shape your body to your ideal form.

No, thermage won't cause you to lose weight. For best results, I often recommend Thermage in combination to venus legacy and/or exilis ultra. See an expert for a formal consultation. Best, Dr. Emer

Thank you for your message! Thermage will not help you lose any weight. Thermage is a radiofrequency procedure that creates inflammation your body heals by making collagen/elastin which helps lift and tighten the tissue. I would recommend a consultation with a provider in your area to further discuss possible ways to get rid of stubborn fat, such as CoolSculpting.

No, as described by Dr Wu - no treatment can ensure or is designed for weight loss, bar surgical treatments such as banding. Theramge is RF, designed to tighten skin in select individuals. Dr Isobel Walker. Brisbane. Fiori. Australia.

Thermage is amazing to tighten the skin but it has no effect on weight loss.  If you are interested in losing fat in a given area you should consider Coolsculpting.  Best, Dr. Green
