Thermage®
Potential complications and risks
The Thermage® procedure has an excellent safety record. There is a small risk of the following around the treated area: swelling, redness, blanching, lumps/bumps/nodules,
ridging/rippling/waffling, burns/blisters/scabbing/scarring, hyper or hypo pigmentation changes, bruising numbness/tingling/temporary paralysis, mild/moderate discomfort during treatment and itching. However, these generally disappear within a few days. Sometimes they may last a few weeks.
There is a tiny risk of longer-lasting surface irregularity to the skin, but this is very rare.
