What the procedure involves
A dermatologist reviews your medical history and assesses skin laxity before discussing options. The doctor explains the process, noting Thermage uses radiofrequency (RF) energy, while Ultherapy uses focused ultrasound, then performs the procedure. After treatment, the clinic provides written aftercare instructions and schedules follow-up if needed.
Aftercare and precautions
Follow the clinic’s specific instructions for managing any temporary redness or swelling. Avoid sun exposure and harsh products as directed by your doctor to support healing. Contact the clinic if you have concerns about your skin’s reaction during recovery.
