10THERMA

How it works

10THERMA is a monopolar radiofrequency device made by TENTECH Inc. A handpiece with a treatment tip delivers radiofrequency energy through the skin toward a return electrode, heating the deeper layers in a controlled way. The practitioner applies it in a grid of shots across the area being treated. The warming is intended to prompt collagen remodeling over several weeks to months, and the amount of change varies by person.

Good to know

• The name begins with a number, which some price lists drop or misspell, so look for the exact spelling on the estimate.
• Shots are the likely pricing unit, with the tip as the consumable.
• Areas such as the cheeks, jawline and neck can be planned together or in separate steps.
• A clinic may offer it as a stand-alone treatment or as an add-on to another tightening treatment.

How 10THERMA affects a treatment quote

A name like 10THERMA invites confusion with other devices, so start by confirming the written name and the maker. After that, ask the same plain question you would ask of any shot-based RF plan: how many shots, over which areas, in how many visits.

If the clinic offers it as an add-on, the add-on price should be shown as its own line, because a bundle can make the 10THERMA share hard to see. Ask whether the tip is part of the figure, and what happens to unused capacity. VAT, numbing and consultation fees are separate. The doctor chooses energy level and shot number after examining you, so a message-based estimate is a rough guide only.
