Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between Thermage Face and Thermage Eye?

Thermage Face uses a larger treatment tip (600 or 900 shots) for broad facial and neck tightening. Thermage Eye uses a specialized 450-shot tip designed specifically for the delicate periorbital area including upper lids, under-eyes, and crow's feet. The Eye tip delivers gentler, more precise energy suitable for thin eyelid skin.

How does Thermage work?

Thermage uses monopolar radiofrequency (RF) energy to heat the deeper skin layers. This controlled heating causes immediate collagen contraction (instant tightening) and triggers new collagen production over the following months. Unlike HIFU devices like Ulthera, Thermage works primarily on the dermis rather than the SMAS layer.

Can Thermage Face and Eye be done in the same session?

Yes, this is a very popular combination at VERZO CLINIC. A typical comprehensive session uses 900 shots for the face and neck followed by 450 shots for the eye area. The total session takes approximately 60-90 minutes. Our data shows this face+neck combination at 900 shots averages 55,200 THB.

How much does Thermage cost in Bangkok?

Thermage Face 600 shots ranges from 35,000-45,000 THB. Thermage Face 900 shots (face + neck) averages approximately 55,200 THB. Thermage Eye 450 shots ranges from 25,000-35,000 THB. Combined face+neck+eye protocols are available at a package rate.

How long do Thermage results last?

Thermage results typically last 12-24 months. Some tightening is visible immediately after treatment. Results continue to improve over 2-6 months as new collagen forms. Annual maintenance sessions are recommended to sustain the collagen-building cycle.

Is Thermage better than Ulthera?

They are complementary rather than competitive. Thermage excels at surface skin tightening, texture improvement, and eye area treatment. Ulthera excels at deep structural lifting targeting the SMAS layer. Many patients combine both: Ulthera for deep lifting, Thermage for surface tightening and eye rejuvenation.

Does Thermage hurt?

Thermage is generally more comfortable than Ulthera. The latest Thermage FLX system includes a vibrating handpiece and cooling system. Most patients describe a warm, pulsing sensation. Pain level is typically 2-4 out of 10. The eye treatment area is particularly gentle.

Who is a good candidate for Thermage?

Ideal candidates are ages 30-65 with mild to moderate skin laxity, especially those concerned about eye area aging, jowling, neck laxity, or overall skin texture. Thermage is particularly excellent for patients who want improvement but prefer a less intense experience than Ulthera.

Thermage Face vs Eye

Complete guide to RF skin tightening. Face 600/900 shots, Eye 450 shots, combined protocols, and real pricing from VERZO CLINIC.

Dr. Waleerat April 2026 11 min read

Thermage Technology: Monopolar Radiofrequency

Thermage FLX uses monopolar radiofrequency energy to deliver controlled volumetric heating to the deep dermis. This causes existing collagen to contract immediately (producing instant tightening) while triggering fibroblasts to produce new collagen over the following months. Unlike Ulthera which uses ultrasound to target specific tissue layers, Thermage heats a broader volume of tissue, making it excellent for overall skin quality improvement.

Thermage Face: 600 and 900 Shot Protocols

600 Shots

Covers the full face from forehead to jawline. Standard protocol for most patients with mild to moderate laxity.

35,000-45,000 THB

900 Shots

Comprehensive face + neck protocol. Addresses jawline, jowls, and neck laxity in addition to the full face.

~55,200 THB (from real data)

Thermage Eye: 450 Shots

The Thermage Eye tip is specifically designed for the delicate periorbital area. It delivers gentler, more precise RF energy suitable for the thin skin around the eyes. Treatment areas include upper lids (hooding), under-eye skin (crepiness), crow's feet, and brow area.

Thermage Eye is one of very few non-surgical treatments effective for upper eyelid laxity — the hooding that makes eyes appear smaller and tired. Most patients see visible lid tightening within 2-3 months.

25,000-35,000 THB

Same-Session Face + Eye Protocol

"A frequent Thermage combination at our clinic is 900 shots face+neck followed by 450 shots for the eyes — all in one session. Total treatment time is about 75-90 minutes. Patients walk out having treated everything from the brow to the neck in a single visit. This is especially popular with international patients who want comprehensive treatment in one trip."
