The gold standard for wrinkles and fine lines has been laser resurfacing and continues to be.  Thermage works below the skin's surface or below the wrinkles to heat the collagen and tighten the skin. I would also suggest that it is not an either or and that you may benefit from both treatments as they tend to address different aspects of the skin.
