About This Treatment

Thermage CPT by Solta Medical is the world's first monopolar RF non-invasive skin tightening device. Delivers RF energy to dermis and subcutis, inducing immediate collagen contraction and long-term collagen remodeling. Effective for face, neck, and body laxity, wrinkles, and nasolabial folds. Single treatment with lasting results and virtually zero downtime. Most evidence-rich tightening device available.

Mechanism of Action

Monopolar RF delivers 6.78MHz energy to dermis/subcutis. Tissue temperature reaches 65-75°C causing immediate collagen fiber contraction/denaturation. Wound healing response then promotes new collagen synthesis and remodeling over 3-6 months. Integrated Comfort Pulse Technology (CPT) cools epidermis simultaneously for safety and comfort.

Indications

Sagging / contourWrinkles / fine linesNasolabial / marionette linesBody contouring / slimming

Expected Results

95% of patients show mild to significant skin tightening. 4-month biopsy shows increased and thickened collagen fibers throughout dermis. Effects last 6-12 months.
