Introduction to Thermage®
At the practice of Dr. Michelle Copeland and Dr. Libby Copeland-Halperin in New York City, we’re excited to introduce Thermage®, an innovative solution designed to lift and tighten your skin without surgery. Situated just across from the Metropolitan Museum, this mother-daughter duo creates a warm and welcoming environment where you can comfortably discuss your aesthetic goals.
Thermage® harnesses the power of radiofrequency energy to stimulate your body’s natural collagen production, resulting in smoother, firmer skin. It’s a fantastic option if you’re looking to enhance your appearance with minimal downtime. Dr. Copeland, a highly regarded plastic surgeon, and Dr. Copeland-Halperin, with her advanced reconstructive training, are dedicated to crafting personalized treatment plans tailored to your unique needs.
What is Thermage®?
This skin tightening treatment uses radiofrequency (RF) energy to smooth, tighten, and contour your skin for a more youthful appearance. This innovative procedure targets collagen-rich layers deep within the skin to stimulate new collagen production and firm existing collagen fibers, effectively addressing sagging skin, fine lines, and wrinkles. Thermage® can be applied to multiple areas, including the face, neck, eyes, and body, with results that can continue to improve over time as collagen rebuilds. Thermage® offers a convenient way to achieve natural-looking skin rejuvenation with minimal downtime and no surgery.
What Are the Benefits of Thermage®?
Thermage® offers a powerful way to firm and refresh skin with natural, gradual improvements. One of the most significant benefits is its ability to lift your skin without surgery. Using radiofrequency energy, Thermage® stimulates collagen deep within the skin, tightening and smoothing areas prone to sagging, like the jawline, cheeks, and even around the eyes. The treatment can also contour the body, refining problem areas on the arms, tummy, or thighs without disrupting your routine—since there’s no downtime to worry about!
The effects become even more noticeable as collagen production continues over the months following a Thermage® session. It’s a great choice for those who want a visible yet subtle improvement in skin texture and firmness.
Who Are the Best Candidates for Thermage®?
Thermage® is ideal for tightening and smoothing skin without surgery or significant downtime. The best candidates usually have mild to moderate skin laxity and want to address early signs of aging, like fine lines, wrinkles, or slight sagging on areas such as the face, neck, or body. It’s an excellent choice for those who prefer a natural, gradual improvement in skin tone and texture rather than dramatic changes. While Thermage® works on most skin types, a consultation with Dr. Copeland or Dr. Copeland-Halperin can confirm whether it matches your skin goals and ensure optimal results.
Your Thermage® journey
What’s the First Step?
The first step toward your Thermage® treatment is to schedule a consultation with Dr. Michelle Copeland or Dr. Libby Copeland-Halperin in New York City. During this appointment, you’ll have the opportunity to discuss your skin concerns and aesthetic goals. The team will walk you through the Thermage® procedure, explaining how it works and what results you can realistically expect.
They’ll also evaluate your skin’s condition to see if Thermage® is right for you. Using advanced technology, they can even provide visual representations to help you envision the potential outcomes.
What to Expect on the Day of Thermage® Treatment
Your procedure will start with a cooling gel to protect your skin and enhance comfort. Using the Thermage® device, they’ll move over the treatment area in slow, precise motions, delivering pulses of radiofrequency energy. Each pulse works to heat the underlying layers of skin, stimulating collagen fibers to contract and encouraging new collagen growth for natural firming over time. As the device moves, you’ll feel warmth with each pulse, which helps the skin respond while the cooling sensation soothes the surface. To help soothe skin and stimulate recovery, Dr. Copeland or Dr. Copeland-Halperin will administer a Light Emitting Diode (LED) therapy treatment. The treatments are designed to be efficient and targeted, with the entire session typically lasting between 45 minutes to two hours.

Thermage® Recovery
Thermage® recovery is refreshingly simple and easy! Most can resume their regular activities right after their treatment, as there’s typically no downtime involved. You might notice slight redness or minor swelling, but these effects usually fade within a few hours.
The best part of Thermage® is that improvements happen gradually; as collagen production increases over the next several months, you’ll start to see smoother, firmer skin. No particular aftercare routine is required—just go about your day as usual and enjoy the natural-looking results as they develop.
