Thermage Singapore | Frances Medical & Aesthetic Clinic

What is Thermage?

Deep heat, in a single session.

Thermage uses monopolar radiofrequency technology to deliver heat to the deeper dermis in a single session, designed to stimulate both an immediate and gradual collagen remodelling response. Built-in cooling is used throughout to help keep the treatment comfortable.

At FMAC, Thermage is assessed and delivered by Dr Gerald Tan, who will review your skin's condition and suitability at consultation before recommending a treatment plan.

How it works

Monopolar energy, evenly delivered.

Radiofrequency energy is delivered evenly across the treatment area to heat the deeper dermis, while an integrated cooling mechanism protects the skin's surface and supports comfort during treatment. The heat is designed to trigger both an immediate tightening of existing collagen and a longer, gradual remodelling response.

What it treats

Who this is designed for.

Facial laxity

General loss of firmness across the face.

Softened definition along the jaw.

Eye and brow area

Skin laxity around the eyes and brow, per assessment.

Body skin laxity

Certain body areas may also be suitable, assessed individually.

What to expect

A gradual return to firmness.

Day 1–2

Most patients resume normal activities immediately; any warmth or redness typically settles within hours.

Week 1–4

Some patients notice early tightening as existing collagen responds to the heat, though this varies between individuals.

Month 2 onwards

Collagen remodelling continues gradually, with improvement in firmness typically continuing over the following months.

Good to know

Frequently asked questions.

Is Thermage safe?

It is a doctor-administered procedure. Dr Gerald Tan assesses your skin condition and suitability individually before every treatment, and will discuss any risks specific to your case.

Does it hurt?

Built-in cooling is used throughout treatment to support comfort. Most patients describe the sensation as brief warmth rather than pain.

What is the downtime?

Downtime is generally minimal, with most patients returning to normal activities the same day. Mild, short-lived redness is possible.

When will I see results?

Response varies between individuals — some notice an initial tightening soon after treatment, with further gradual improvement over the following months as collagen remodels. Outcomes cannot be predicted in advance.

How many sessions will I need?

Thermage is typically delivered as a single session. Dr Tan will advise whether a repeat session may be appropriate for you at a later date.
