Q: How long do Thermage results last?
I have been performing Thermage treatments for about 6 years. Obviously, I believe in the technology and, "yes", I have seen good results from the treatments. During this time, I have tried a number of different protocols to help my patients obtain the best possible results.
The patients who acheive the best results are in need of just a bit of skin tightening -- in this case the results from one or two Thermage treatments appear to last about 12-24 months.
Unfortunately, Thermage treatments are limited in what can be achieved...For example, patients with very loose skin or very thin skin tend to be disappointed with the results that are obtained. In my opinion, a patient who desires to see significant improvement in the appearance of a "turkey neck" will need to look at other procedures that can deliver more than what Thermage can do.

Comments from Adam Summers, MD on RealSelf.com
- Facelift Concerns: "A hematoma after a facelift can result in discoloration of the skin that may be present for months...."
- IPL for Dark Circles, Now I have light sensitivity: "Small veins under the eyelid can certainly add to the appearance..."
- Upper lips too big: "First of all, there is typically some swelling after a Juvederm injection. This tends to settle..."
