Does Thermage Cause Facial Fat Loss?
I've read that Thermage causes facial fat to dissolve after treatment, such that there are patients who blogged online that they regret having had thermage at all. Their cheeks and undereyes hollowed out. Is this true?

Thermage and fat wasting
When thermage first came out, it wsa used to tighten the skin. Some clinicians felt that if a little heat is good then alot of heat is better. This lead to burns and facial soft tissue atrophy. While it may cause some skin tightening, it is not a miracle worker and does not replace a facelift when it is needed.

Fat atrophy with old not new Thermage
Although I can not say that there has not been a case, I can say that I have not heard of a case of fat loss with the new thermage treatment compared with the old treatment

This should be a very rare complication.
To tin,
We use Thermage to tighten the skin and we have never seen fat atrophy.
With Thermage, everything depends on how you do it ( what head?, what grid?, how many passes?, what energy level?).
