Abstract

Noninvasive methods have become increasingly popular, and there is significant demand for effective, proven methods of nonablative skin rejuvenation. Nonablative capacitive radiofrequency has been a successful and well-received approach for nonsurgical skin tightening. Radiofrequency (RF) energy is electromagnetic radiation in the range of 3–300 GHz. Thermage systems utilize the company’s proprietary technology, incorporating large monopolar capacitive electrodes to deliver RF energy into the skin while concurrently protecting the skin surface with a cryogen cooling spray. Indications, treatment considerations, technique, results, and complications are discussed.
