Question

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

Yes, thermage can be performed over a tattoo.  I suggest you see an expert for treatment.  Best, Dr. Emer.

Tom Tracey Gallaher, MD · Answer

It's perfectly safe to use thermage over tattoos. Thermage is not a laser and therefore will not damage the tattoo. I hope this helps.

Michele S. Green, MD · Answer

Yes, Thermage can be performed on an area that has a tattoo.  Because this is heat and not the same type of laser, you can have this procedure. Please consult an expert.  Best, Dr. Green
