Thermage® CPT Ottawa

Thermage® CPT helps firm skin through collagen strengthening and stimulation. During treatment, radio frequency technology is used to heat the deepest layers of skin, where there is ample collagen production. The heat effectively tightens collagen and helps to formulate new proteins. This can help reduce sagging and smooth your skin’s texture.

Thermage® CPT’s versatile technology is effective on various body parts. It can be used throughout the face and eyelids to enhance natural contours, achieving similar results on the body in addition to reducing the appearance of cellulite on the arms, abdomen, buttocks, and thighs.

Most patients report minimal to no discomfort during the Thermage® CPT procedure. Despite the essential heating of the deepest layers of skin, this is offset with bursts of cool air to the epidermis, effectively protecting the outermost layers of skin. For additional comfort, patients may opt for analgesics before their treatment to alleviate any potential discomfort.

Facial Thermage® CPT treatments are, on average, 90 minutes in length. For other areas of the body, the total treatment time will depend on the location, size, and overall condition of the skin. During your initial consultation, we may be able to give you a general timeframe for your following appointment.

There is no downtime following a Thermage® CPT appointment. Once your treatment is complete, there are also no rigorous aftercare needs besides following your regular skincare regime. This is in stark contrast to surgical procedures, which may produce similar results, albeit with several months of healing required. Once your appointment at our Ottawa clinic is completed, you can return to your daily activities as normal.

While some individuals may notice an immediate improvement in skin tightness, the full benefits of Thermage® CPT align with the body’s natural cycle of collagen regeneration, which unfolds over a few months. Significant enhancements, particularly in skin smoothness, typically become evident between two to six months after the treatment. At this juncture, we can assess the progress by comparing your current appearance with the “before” photographs in your patient file.

The longevity of Thermage® CPT outcomes varies with each person’s skin condition and aging process. It’s possible for the effects of skin tightening to sustain for several years. However, we recommend yearly Thermage® CPT appointments to maintain and enhance results to help support new collagen productions and strengthen existing proteins.

Yes. Thermage® CPT is a completely safe treatment that can be used on various skin tones and textures.

Ideal candidates for Thermage® CPT include those looking to tighten their skin, especially patients who prefer subtle, natural, and gradual results. If lotions and creams are not delivering the desired results and you’d rather avoid surgery, Thermage® CPT offers a unique alternative that enhances natural beauty while providing a redefined look.
