I have been looking at two different doctors. One has done thousands of the procedures with the old Thermage machines. Her cost is $1600 and she is a board certified PS. The other is a board certified Dermatologist who has done hundreds of procedures and has the CPT machine. Cost for her is $2500. So one costs less with more experience but the other has the CPT. Which would you recommend?
To my knowledge, there is no real data showing better results between the two technologies. What really matters is how many pulses you'll get for your money. With each Thermage treatment, a treatment tip is put on the machine. Each treatment tip has a certain number of pulses, and treatment tips come in a variety of pulse counts (400, 800, 900, 1200, etc.). In general, one treatment tip is used per patient. My experience is that you get better results with more pulses.
iI am an older woman with former face ifts. I have saging under the jowls and turkey(?) neck. Will thermage help? i don't want to have anathesia aain because of my age. How much does thermage cost?
Although the results of Thermage after facelifts have never been formally studied to my knowledge, there is no reason to believe that you wouldn't get tightening to a degree similar to someone who didn't have a facelift. I have treated several patients who have had prior facelifts, and the percentage of tightening appears comparable to those who have not had prior surgery.
