IT’S A FACT
TECHNOLOGY
EVOLVES.
WE MAKE SURE YOU CAN TOO.
Thermage® CPT – the latest skin smoothing device, from the pioneers of the technology. It’s a simple fact — all technology evolves. And in this age of accelerated change, it takes vision and commitment to stay ahead. At Solta Medical, we pioneered skin smoothing technology, and have a decade of innovation and proven results built into our Thermage platform. Thermage CPT (Comfort Pulse Technology) represents a quantum leap from our previous technology in treatment efficacy and, most importantly, patient comfort and satisfaction1. Simply put, CPT gives your practice more — more proven results, more ease of use, and more flexibility.

The Science Behind Vibration The “Gate Control Theory of Pain”, developed by Ron Melzack and Patrick Wall, states that throughout the nervous system there are many types of nerve fibers responsible for relaying all the sensory information in the human body from the limbs, tissues, and organs, to the brain. Small diameter nerve fibers carry pain impulses while large diameter fibers carry non-painful impulses, among which is vibration. Applying vibration to an area of discomfort decreases pain because touch stimulates the large fiber diameters which in turn close the “gate.”2 2. Melzack R, Wall PD. Pain mechanisms: a new theory.

The results Thermage can deliver are best seen on the surface - tighter, smoother skin. But our new Comfort Pulse Technology works on a whole new level. Our CPT energy algorithm simulates TENS (Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation), a proven method for pain relief by affecting sensory nerves and interfering with sensory-discriminative pathways, interspersing cooling bursts with radio-frequency heat energy, blocking neural discomfort signals and increasing patient comfort when compared to the Thermage NXT. It’s smart technology that works ON patient’s bodies while working WITH their mind.
‘‘
Benefits of this new system include patient comfort, no oral analgesics, higher efficacy, and better results than the previous version.” Neil Sadick, M.D., of Sadick Dermatology, New York, NY
A foundation in innovation At its core, CPT builds on the proven efficacy of the Thermage platform - useing monopolar, capacitively coupled radiofrequency energy to smoothen skin. But CPT goes a step further with integrated user and patient comfort features to deliver a positive result and treatment experience.

FACE TIP
0.25
Our specially designed Thermage Eye Tip 0.25 uses precise, shallow heating to smooth the skin of the upper and lower eyelids, reduce hooding and soften fine lines and crow’s feet to help your patients look younger and refreshed.
The Thermage Face Tip 3.0 with the power of the integrated Comfort Pulse Technology, offers advanced energy delivery and comfort control. The result is a smoother and younger looking face with minimal discomfort.
TOTAL TIP 3.0
BODY TIP 16.0
The Thermage Total Tip 3.0 treats deeply to contour skin; addressing sagging skin and unwanted bulges. Patients often see immediate smoothing and contouring results that get better with time.
Like the Thermage Total Tip 3.0, the Thermage Body Tip 16.0 also provides effective and comfortable body treatments but in half the time with five times the coverage of our standard tips.
More flexibility, more opportunity •
Our range of Thermage CPT treatment tips was engineered to give you maximum flexibility so you can treat more areas on more patients, all with a single treatment platform.
