Your doctor or a trained aesthetician can do Thermage

The protocal for Thermage is very simple, and a qualified, trained aesthetician should be able to do the treatment safely. Thermage treatments are not painful, and if you have pain during the procedure, the treatment level should be reduced.

A good question but there's another one even more important

It is a good question to ask regarding who is qualified to do Thermage. The better question is whether Thermage will give you results that meet your expectations. I have personally seen multiple patients who have had Thermage treatments by doctors in my area who felt they got nothing for the very expensive and rather painful treatment.
