The most popular body treatment areas include abdomen, knees, and arms.
What to do before the treatment?
• Inform the doctor if you have a pacemaker or metal implants/pins.
• You will be asked to remove any metal jewellery, therefore, it may be easier if you simply do not wear any that day.
• If you are concerned about discomfort during your treatment please feel free to take 1000mg of Panadol and or 400mg of Nurofen, 1 hour before your appointment.
• If you are having your eyes treated please do not wear contact lenses.
What do you expect during the treatment?
A treatment gel is applied to the treatment area, and heat sensation can be felt during the treatment.
It takes about 60-90 minutes per session, depending on how many treatment reps you select (eg. 600 reps,or 900 reps.
What do you expect after the treatment?
The skin can feel a bit warm, and red, which settles very quickly over the next hour or two. There can be some mild swelling which also settles spontaneously. It shouldn’t affect the daily activities. You can apply skincare and makeup if needed after the treatment.
As always, strict sun protection is required post all energy based devices.
It will take 3-6 months to see the full results of your Thermage® treatment.
• Daily use of good skin care products, hydrating masks, as well as sunscreens are recommended to achieve and maintain optimal results.

Thermage is a very safe and medical based treatment in which extensive clinical studies have been conducted, and the treatment has been performed all across the world.
