A National Spotlight on Thermage Technology
A recent episode of The Doctors, a nationally syndicated daytime talk show, featured an exciting live demonstration of Thermage, a non-invasive skin tightening treatment that uses radiofrequency (RF) energy to deliver visible contouring results without surgery.
Performed by Dr. Bill Johnson of Innovations Medspa in Dallas, the procedure was shown in real time and highlighted for its dramatic effects. The in-studio guest, Sonia, lost over 2 inches from her waistline and 5 inches from her hips—in just one hour.

👉 Thermage on The Doctors
What Is Thermage and How Does It Work?
Thermage® is an FDA-cleared, non-invasive treatment designed to smooth, tighten, and contour the skin for a more youthful appearance. It works by delivering controlled radiofrequency energy deep into the dermal layers, where it safely heats the collagen-rich tissues beneath the skin’s surface.
What happens during treatment?
-
Collagen fibers contract when heated
-
Skin becomes tighter and firmer
-
Natural collagen production is stimulated
-
Results continue to improve for months post-treatment
Unlike many other non-surgical options, Thermage requires no needles, no anesthesia, and no downtime, making it a popular solution for busy individuals seeking real results without invasive procedures.
Real Results, Right on TV
In the Doctors episode, cosmetic surgeon Dr. Andrew Ordon, a recurring panelist and part of the show’s “medical dream team,” provided commentary alongside Dr. Johnson during the procedure.
The patient, Sonia, underwent Thermage treatment live on air, targeting her abdomen and hips. By the end of the hour-long session, the measurement tape confirmed it: inches were gone—without a single incision or stitch.
These results, while impressive, also represent what many patients experience over time: progressive improvement in skin tone, texture, and tightness, especially in commonly treated areas like:
-
Abdomen
-
Thighs
-
Upper arms
-
Jawline
-
Neck and décolletage
-
Around the eyes
Why Thermage Is Popular Among Non-Surgical Options
Thermage is a go-to treatment for those looking to address loose or sagging skin without resorting to surgical procedures like a facelift or tummy tuck. It’s also ideal for patients who:
-
Aren’t ready for surgery
-
Want to maintain results between more invasive procedures
-
Are looking to treat post-pregnancy skin laxity
-
Prefer a natural collagen-boosting solution
Unlike other energy-based devices, Thermage requires only one treatment session, and results continue to develop over 3 to 6 months as collagen rebuilds.
