Thermage: monopolar radiofrequency

Aesthet Surg J. 2005 Nov-Dec;25(6):638-42. doi: 10.1016/j.asj.2005.09.017.

Abstract

Monopolar radiofrequency treatment may be appropriate for patients who desire skin tightening but will not tolerate surgery and/or downtime. Patients generally can expect a 5% to 20% improvement, but results in any particular group are unpredictable. Key to this treatment is providing patients with detailed information to ensure that expectations are realistic.
