Important Safety Information

• Do not undergo Thermage treatment if you have a cardiac pacemaker or other active implants. Inform your doctor if you have this condition or are in doubt.
• The most common side effects include:
  • Mild to Moderate Pain: Typically, the discomfort is temporary during the procedure and localised within the treatment area.
  • Surface Irregularities: Surface irregularities are not evident immediately post-treatment, but may appear up to 1 or more months post-treatment.
  • Altered Sensation: “Numbness”, “tingling”, or “temporary paralysis” that typically resolves in a short period of time, but may persist up to several weeks.
  • Burns, Blisters, Scabbing, and Scarring: The procedure may produce heating in the upper layers of the skin, causing burns and subsequent blister and scab formation.
  • There is a possibility of scar formation.
  • Lumps, Nodules: Lumps or nodules under the skin may occur primarily in the neck area that usually resolve within 1 or 2 weeks without chronic or long term complications.
  • Pigment Changes: Hyperpigmentation (darkening of the skin) that normally resolves within several months.
  • Oedema: Swelling may occur and typically resolves within 5 days, but can persist up to several weeks.
