Using monopolar radio frequency devices is wonderful in theory, but less predictable in application. To have a device which can improve texture and tightening without ablation of tissue would be ideal. Thermage has shown to be effective in both, however the small percentage of people who experience these results makes this option less attractive to me and my patients.
