Thermage

Thermage generally disappoints patients since practitioners overpromise its benefits and do not choose appropriate candidates. Thermage can be somewhat effective for some patients although it fails for a large number of patients.

For those that it works on, Thermage provides minimimal correction (generally 1 - 2 mm). Combined with the need to repeat the procedure every year to 18 months, many patients are dissatisfied with the treatment and the money that they spent on it.  As a result, we would not recommend Thermage for most patients.
