Can Thermage Cause Jaw Pain?

Hi Megan. 

Insidious onset pain in the jaw (or over any tissues that have been treated with radiofrequency) over a week after treatment is unlikely (imo) to be related to the treatment. First 48 hours maybe but unlikely after. 

It is more likely that you have a concurrent issue such as TMJ dysfunction, bruxism or Dental abscess. First port of call for me would be your dentist.

Kind regards

 

thermage is not typically used for lymphatic drainage. Thermage is a radio frequency device used to treat wrinkles, lines, laxity and acne.  There is no relation between the jaw pain you have and radio frequency treatments as the depth of penetration is not affecting bone tissue. It likely is a coincidence that there is pain in the area a few days post treatment.  Seeking the advice of your dentist is advisable and a follow up visit with your cosmetic physician.
