Thermage in Al Shunnar Plastic Surgery Clinic
About the clinic
Thermage at Al Shunnar Plastic Surgery Clinic in Dubai is a non-surgical skin tightening treatment that uses monopolar radiofrequency energy. The procedure stimulates collagen production to firm the face, neck, and body without downtime. The clinic is recognized as the Best Cosmetic Surgery Clinic by the UAE Business Awards and holds the Dubai Health Authority Award.
Thermage Technology and Results
Thermage uses radiofrequency energy to heat the deep layers of the skin called the dermis. This heat makes the skin tissues compress and tighten. It also triggers the production of new collagen and elastin over time. Patients often see gradual improvements in skin texture and firmness for several months after the session. The procedure targets the face, neck, décolletage, and various body areas.
What to Expect During the Session
Each session typically takes about one hour to complete. The treatment does not require anesthesia because most patients tolerate the sensation well. Since the energy focuses on deep tissues, the surface of the skin remains unaffected. You can return to your normal daily activities immediately after leaving the clinic.
- No surgery: Non-invasive tightening using monopolar radiofrequency.
- Quick recovery: Mild swelling usually fades within 2 days.
- Long-term effects: Collagen remodeling continues for months after a single visit.
- Simple care: Only gentle skincare and sunscreen are needed after the procedure.

Surgical and Aesthetic Specialties
Plastic surgery services focus on breast, facial, and body contouring procedures. The surgical team performs several complex breast operations:
- Breast augmentation with fat transfer or implants
- Breast lift (mastopexy) with internal bra techniques
- DIEP flap reconstruction for post-cancer patients
- Breast reduction and gynecomastia surgery for men
Fat transfer procedures use gentle liposuction devices. These protect live fat cells before purification and reinjection.
Facial rejuvenation options include the video-endoscopic facelift. Surgeons use small scalp incisions and an endoscope to reposition midface tissues. This method takes two to three hours and aims for a softer look with minimal visible scarring. The clinic also offers otoplasty and rhinoplasty.
Body sculpting programs combine fat removal with skin-tightening techniques. Specialists perform tummy tucks (abdominoplasty) and lower body lifts. For patients with keloid or hypertrophic scars, the clinic provides cryotherapy, steroid injections, and laser surgery to flatten scar tissue.
Aesthetic medicine and dermatology services are led by Dr. Elmira Gesheva. This department manages skin rejuvenation through several non-surgical methods:
- Botox injections for forehead lines and crow's feet
- Dermal fillers including Juvéderm and Restylane
- RF micro-needling for skin firmness
- Chemical peels in light, medium, and deep variants
Dermatology services also include Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) injections and specialized acne clearing treatments.
