Thermage in Coquitlam
Thermage is an advanced radiofrequency skin tightening treatment designed to lift, firm, and smooth sagging skin — without surgery, needles, or downtime. Experience long-lasting natural results at Smile Well Medical & Spa in Coquitlam.
What is Thermage?
Thermage is an advanced radiofrequency (RF) skin tightening treatment designed to lift, firm, and smooth sagging skin without surgery or injections. It works by delivering controlled radiofrequency energy deep into the skin's collagen-rich layers, stimulating new collagen production while tightening existing collagen fibers.
Unlike surgical facelifts or invasive procedures, Thermage requires no incisions, no needles, and has little to no downtime. Performed more than 2 million times worldwide and trusted since 2002, Thermage — the latest generation — offers faster treatment times, improved patient comfort, and enhanced collagen stimulation over earlier RF devices.
