What is Thermage

Thermage is a radiofrequency treatment that delivers controlled heat to the deeper layers of the skin to support collagen contraction and new collagen production. At All Saint Clinic Sydney, Thermage is performed by our Aesthetic Doctors and Dermal Therapists as part of a personalised treatment plan developed at consultation, typically within a single session.

Thermage is a well-established option for patients seeking a non-surgical approach to skin firmness and contour, particularly for those who prefer a single-session treatment over a longer series. Whether it is right for you will depend on your individual skin concerns and goals, which is why we always recommend a consultation with one of our practitioners before beginning treatment.

Thermage is supported by extensive clinical evidence for skin tightening through collagen contraction and stimulation, with visible improvement typically developing over two to six months following treatment. As with any clinical treatment, individual responses vary, and results are best supported by an accurate assessment of suitability and skin condition.

Thermage is typically delivered as a single session, with many patients seeing meaningful results without repeat treatment. Some patients choose an annual session to maintain results over time. Your practitioner will advise on the most appropriate approach for your skin and goals at consultation.

Thermage uses an integrated cooling system to support comfort during treatment, with most patients describing the sensation as a deep warmth. Following treatment, mild redness or swelling may occur and typically settles within 24 hours, with most patients returning to normal activities immediately.

Thermage costs at All Saint Clinic vary depending on the treatment area and your individual treatment plan. We recommend booking a consultation so our team can provide a clear, tailored recommendation and outline associated costs.

Thermage uses radiofrequency energy rather than light-based technology, which means it does not target pigment and is generally suitable across a broad range of skin tones. As with any treatment, suitability, including any contraindications such as pacemakers or other implanted electronic devices, is always assessed during your consultation.

Thermage uses radiofrequency energy to heat the deeper dermal and subdermal layers, while Sofwave uses non-invasive ultrasound to target the mid-dermis at a fixed depth. Both are non-surgical, single-focus treatments for skin firmness, and the most suitable option depends on your individual skin concerns, treatment area and goals. Your practitioner will guide you through the right approach at consultation.

Results typically continue to develop for up to six months following treatment and can last one to two years, depending on individual skin condition and the natural ageing process. Your practitioner can advise on a maintenance plan suited to your goals at consultation.
