LiftingEnlarged pores and fine lines that don't respond to a richer moisturizer are often a sign your skin barrier and collagen are breaking down together, and Thermage is one of the few treatments built to address both at once.
LiftingThe appointment takes under an hour, but the days that follow do just as much to shape your results. Here's what your skin actually needs during recovery — and what quietly undoes the work.
LiftingMore shots don't automatically mean better results. What truly determines your outcome is where the energy is delivered — and at what depth.

LiftingShurink pain depends heavily on tip depth: a quick prickle at 1.5mm, a duller ache at 3.0mm, and a deep vibration near the jaw at 4.5mm. Here's how numbing cream and nerve blocks change the experience.
