ARTICLE • THERMAGE
One of the most common questions from patients considering Thermage is: “How many shots do I need?” The truth is, there is no single number. Shot count depends on skin thickness, laxity level and the treatment goal. Different areas also require different ranges.
| Area | Typical shot range | Remark |
|---|---|---|
| Full face + jawline | 600 – 900 shots | Ideal for mild to moderate laxity, ages 28–40 |
| Full face with significant lift | 900 – 1200 shots | Recommended for age 35+ or visible sagging |
| Eye area | 300 – 450 shots | Helps tighten eyelids and fine lines |
The general guideline is once per year. Some individuals with significant laxity may need treatment every 10–14 months to maintain results.
Thermage shot count must be individualized. A medical assessment ensures that the number of shots matches your skin condition and expected results.
