Cool Lipo and Thermage Cool Lipo is great for skin tightening, and sometimes people have such tremendous laxity that combination therapy with an additional modality is required to sufficiently tighten the skin. When such a need arises, I add the new Thermage Body Contouring Deep Tip, which tightens skin from the outside. Together the Cool Lipo™ and new Thermage Body Contouring applications achieve great sculpting and skin tightening results. There are no other potent skin tightening devices for the outer skin that match Thermage results.

Smart Lipo and Thermage SmartLipo can be combined with other modalities. We usually combine it with Thermage (RF) if needed. If the problem is slightly loose, crepey skin, we use the medium depth skin. This works best for tightening loose skin. We use at least 1200 pulses for the abdominal region. If additional body contouring is desired, the Thermage Body Contouring Deep Tip can be used. However, the countouring from SmartLipo is much better than the deep tip so I think it's overkill. I have found the medium depth tip to do a better job at tightening the skin. Stretch marks can be somewhat improved by using Thermage, Bridge Therapy (ActiveFX/DeepFX) or another fractional laser. However, nothing works great for stretch marks! It's always best to underpromise and overdeliver.
