Thermage
Thermage is an advanced, non-invasive skin treatment that uses radiofrequency (RF) energy to tighten and contour the skin. This treatment targets the deep layers of the skin to stimulate collagen production, resulting in firmer, smoother skin. Thermage effectively addresses a variety of skin concerns, including fine lines, wrinkles, and skin laxity.

More about this treatment
Thermage utilises RF energy to heat the deep layers of the skin, promoting collagen production and remodelling the skin’s structure. The treatment is performed using a specialised handpiece that delivers controlled RF energy to the targeted areas. This process helps to tighten existing collagen fibres and stimulate the production of new collagen, leading to a more youthful and rejuvenated appearance. The treatment parameters can be customised to address specific skin concerns and achieve optimal results.
What Results Are Typically Achieved
Thermage treatments offer noticeable improvements in skin tone, texture, and overall appearance. Patients can expect to see gradual yet significant changes in fine lines, wrinkles, and skin laxity over the following weeks and months. With a single session often providing long-lasting results, patients can maintain healthier, more youthful-looking skin with annual maintenance treatments.

Preparing for your treatment
Prior to Arrival at Montrose4 weeks prior: Avoid any aggressive treatments such as ablative laser or chemical peels.

Your practitioner will remove any makeup, discuss any concerns, review your medical history, and photograph the treatment area.
A numbing cream will be applied to the treatment area for 45 minutes to ensure comfort. The Thermage device will then be used to deliver RF energy to the targeted areas. You may feel tingling or warmth during the procedure.

Thank you
Overall a disappointing experience, sterile and cold enough environment made bearable only by the maximalist decor. No serenity as portrayed in marketing features ie. Lack of music As a director within a private healthcare setting, very poor customer experience and not one I will be recommending to our own clientele.
I was advised if unhappy with results in 2 weeks to come back for a top up but work restrictions meant I did not attend for 4 weeks but was told that this was chargeable: disappointing again with lack of appreciation or flexibility for working professionals. No follow up provided or courtesy call as is often given at alternative aesthetic clinics.
Dr. Noy has been incredible from start to finish. It is a joy to go to this beautiful clinic, and care is second to none.
