Monopolar radiofrequency that heats deeper skin to encourage tightening — gradual and modest, not a facelift.
Thermage is a brand of monopolar radiofrequency treatment. It delivers heat to the deeper layers of the skin while the surface is cooled, which tightens existing collagen and encourages new collagen to form over the following months.
It is usually done in a single session on the face, around the eyes, the neck or the body. The tightening is gradual and modest, and it does not remove excess skin. It is generally best suited to mild laxity rather than significant sagging.
These are general points only. Whether a treatment is suitable for you is decided by the treating clinician after examining you in person and reviewing your medical history and current medication.
You share photos and a short description of what bothers you. The clinician gives a first view of which options may help and which are unlikely to.
The clinician examines your face and skin, goes through your medical history and explains the expected effect, its limits and the risks before you consent.
A temporary grid is marked on the skin, and the device tip is passed over each square, delivering heating pulses while cooling the surface.

No. It can tighten mildly lax skin but cannot lift significant sagging or remove skin. The clinician will tell you if surgery would be more suitable.
