Does any Thermage work?
There are countless patients who have been disappointed with what old Thermage has failed to provide them. What I would suggest you do about researching this newer version is to ask your doctor for the names of a couple of patients who are LIKE YOU and have had this treatment so you can ask them if they are happy. If he/she tells you they can't because of "privacy issues" of can't come up with a comparable patient to yourself, the answer is simple - forget about it....

Thermage CPT is much improved over old technology
The new CPT Thermage is far superior to the old technology. The new Thermage is painless and is more effective. The CPT technologies allows you to use safe and effective energies in an easier way than the old Thermage. I have been extremely pleased both with patient comfort and results. The only downside is that it can take up to two hours for the procedure and may be repeated again in a few years as we age with gravity.

Does Thermage Work?
With the new Thermage CPT upgrade, the results are consistently much better an the older machines. I think one of te most important factors is appropriate patient selection. If a patient has too much laxity that would be better addressed with a facelift then I will refer the patient to plastics. One of the interesting things I have noticed in our diverse patient populations is that Asian, mediterranean, and Latino skin types seem to be slam dunk consistently repeat great results.

Newer thermage is better than old
I have heard from physicians that had the old thermage that patients find the new one less painful. The lower energies allow more passes and more cumulative heating and stimulation of collagen.

Thermage CPT works and works better than older Thermage
Thermage is a non-surgical skin tightening treatment that provides subtle skin tightening and contouring. It absolutely works, but it isn't surgery so no one should expect the same results as with surgery. Anyone who expects dramatic skin tightening is going to be disappointed. People choose Thermage because they want skin tightening without the risks of surgery, without the downtime, and without anyone knowing they have had anything done. They also choose...

Facial Skin Tightening
Thank you for your question. I would suggest Ultherapy for facial skin tightening, not Thermage. Ultherapy deposits focused ultrasound energy below the surface of the skin to stimulate the body’s creation of new collagen. As a result, skin will actually begin to lift and tone over time. Collagen is a natural protein that gives skin its youthfulness by keeping it firmed, toned and elastic. Plus, the treatment is completely non-invasive and does not require downtime. I have seen excellent...

Thermage CPT Works
The newer Thermage CPT has much more consistent results then the old Thermage. The old Thermage energy distribution was different, the hand pieces and sizes of the tips have changed and vibration mechanisms have been added. Patient comfort is high, virtually painless, and results are consistently good to great. We are thrilled with what Thermage CPT has done for our patients. Thermage is the best non-surgical skin care device out there at this time.

Thermage CPT is much better
We had been using the old Thermage for about 4 years before upgrading to the Thermage CPT nearly one year ago. The results with the new CPT are not only much better but much more consistent and, as a result, our volume of Thermage treatments has tripled since we obtained the Thermage CPT. Montreal, where our clinic is located, has many clinics and spas that offer non-invasive skin tightening with questionable devices and so many disappointed patients become leery of these procedures....

Thermage CPT Works [with video]
Thermage is non surgical skin tightening, and it works. Although it can not be compared to a surgical procedure, or the result from surgery. As there is no comparison in downtime (lots of downtime with a facelift, definately a scar). Typically no downtime with Thermage. 96% of patients get a visiable result with thermage.
Patient satisfaction is around 90%. So there is a percentage of patients that we will not heat the collagen enough to tighten. The other percentage difference is...
