Thermage of the face takes about 30 minutes, but plan on being in the office for about an hour. Multiple passes of the Thermage tip are carried out over the area being treated. We have special tips for tightening the eyelids, tummy, legs, hands, etc. Some patients experience minimal discomfort but some patients find it uncomfortable. The higher the energy setting used, the more uncomfortable, but the more tightening you will see. Dr. Stover may recommend a pill for relaxation or pain. He may offer an injection of demerol or IV sedation. With any of these sedation options a driver will be needed.
