Seattle thermage doctor recommendation?
I know thermage isn't a sure thing but i still want to give it a try. Anything to avoid needles or worse a facelift! I live close to Seattle. Do you recommend a Seattle doctor or dermatologists for thermage?

I went for a consultation at Hypatia near Molback's in Woodinville about 3 weeks ago. I just turned 40 and for me they recommended 1 treatment of Thermage and that would cost 2,250. I could also do Thermage for eyes only for 1080. Fraxel is another thing you can try. Not sure if you've head of it but it's a Laser Treatment. I don't. I think he pain factor is supposed to be along the lines of Thermage and they recommend 4-6 treatments at a total of $3,600 for the package. I asked about a threadlift for under chin lifting and surprisingly enough that was a bargain @ $900. Needless to say I have sticker shock and went home and self performed MicroDermabrasion and a Glycolic Peel and called it good. 0h yea and then I slapped on some self tanning cream and decided I looked good enough for now.
Though today I got curious again and looked up a place to get eyelash extensions and this place was offering a light Therapy and it seemed like a bargain at only $1,200 for 6 sessions plus you got 6 microdermabrasions sessions and glycolic peels and some other thing too. I gotta find those guys again but I don't know ... I think the Blue Light Special probably bears even less results than Thermage.

I would recommend going to Anderson Cosmetic Surgery in Bellevue, WA. They offer a free consultation, so you can find out all the information about Thermage without actually having to commit to it. I know Dr. Anderson has been doing Thermage in his office for about five years. As far as I know, as long as it is done correctly, Thermage should not be painful - in other words, it's not as though you'll feel nothing at all, but it also shouldn't cause pain. I've heard a lot of good things from people that have had it done there. Personally, that's where I would go if I were you.

I had thermage on face and neck 14 months ago. I really don't see any difference and the cost was $2500. For a while I thought I looked better, but now I really don't see any difference. Sorry.

I started going to the Laser Treatment Center in Kirkland 5 yrs ago for rosacea. Had GREAT results with Fotofacial, so followed it up with Botox (off & on), and a combo Microderm/Cooltouch for large poors & fine lines ( 5 treatments) - saw results after the first treatment! I'm now considering Thermage, but am not sold yet. I'd recommend thier office to ANYONE!
