I have puffy eyes due to the fat pads under my eyes.I had this all my life, I was told by two dr that the only thing I could do was to have them removed. but now I was told that thermage would help. Is this true? I am 42 and would like to put off getting cut.
Fat pads under the eyes are deep to the muscle and below the effective level of Thermage , This procedure will do nothing for your fat pads . You should save your money and have a lower blepharoplasty instead.
Will Thermage help my thighs and buttocks look less dimply and smoother? I am petite (size 2 or 4) and I do not really need to lose weight. However, I will be 40 this year. I have a natural "pear shape," and now have loose skin and cellulite on my thighs and buttocks. Would Thermage help these areas appear firmer, smoother, and less dimply?
Yes, Thermage can help improve the look of mild to moderate cellulite. Results will last approximately 12 to 14 months. There is no "cure" for cellulite, so it is only worth it if your cellulite is mild to moderate and you have realistic expectations.
I had one Thermage procedure about two years ago and based on comments from people who only saw me occasionally, I looked happier..like a burden had been lifted ("I can see it in your face."). Since my 'lift' left, I had the Titan procedure yesterday and perceive the immediate results as less apparent.
I know Titan evolved from the maker of Thermacool and is pain free, but is there any data suggesting a reason why Titan might be less effective? Could it just be my aging skin isn't responding and I have less collagen?
Thermage uses radiofrequency and is made by Thermacool. Titan is a laser made by the Cutera company. In the right hands, Titan works extremely well. I emphasize "in the right hands" because results depend on the ability of the nurse providing the treatment. We at Rejuvenation Center get consistently excellent results but have a wealth of experience. As a general rule, more than one treatment is needed. Be sure that you have a nurse with a lot of experience and happy patients to prove it. It is also possible that your skin is no longer right for treatments such as Titan but this would be determined at the time of your consultation.
