First of all, the price varies tremendously on the area.

Furthermore this may require more than one session.

Many physcians offices are more than willing to discuss fees over the telelphone, so check out your options prior to going in and use the Realself page to check out providers and fees.

However, I would advise you to review the Thermage stats on the Realself page. Although in certain circumstances, I have seen patients with satisfactory results, the overall benefits of Thermage should be considered.

The "Was it worth it?" survey in Realself indicates only 37% of patients were satisfied meaning 63% (the majority of patients) found the treatment to not be worth it.

One of the benfits of Thermage is the relatively minimal downtime but sometimes procedures with a greater downtime have a higher satisfaction rate: For example: Facelift (78%!!!) and Laser Resurfacing (75%).

Some of the less agressive fractionated lasers also seem to offer a higher satisfaction rate then thermage according to the survey. This includes Pixel laser (71%), Active FX (67%) and Fraxel (51%)
