When can I get Thermage after a peel?

Question

I have just done a peel. How long do I have to wait for to do thermage?

Vibha Gambhir, MD · Answer

Hello and thank you for your question.  You should wait around 1 month after the peel to do thermage.  Even though thermage is not a resurfacing procedure, it is best to let your skin heal completely.  Consult with a board certified, experienced cosmetic provider and discuss your goals and concerns.  Good luck to you!

Hi, thank you for your question! Thermage should be performed at a minimum of two weeks after a peel. Depending on the intensity of the peel I would recommend waiting until the skin is fully healed for Thermage to be performed.

Karyn Grossman, MD · Answer

Timing for Thermage following appeal is somewhat dependent upon the type of peel you had done. As a general rule, I would wait until all of the peeling and redness is gone and add two weeks on top of that.

Bruce K. Smith, MD · Answer

There are many types of skin care treatments and some chemical peels are deeper and more aggressive than others. For a light chemical peel like glycolic acid, Thermage can be performed within 2 to 3 weeks, if there were no complications or delayed healing. For a deep phenol or TCA peel, you should wait 6 to 12 months before having Thermage. As always it is best to discuss your particular situation with your plastic surgeon or dermatologist.
