Thermage is excellent for neck and jowls
I love Thermage for the neck and jowls. This is my favorite area to treat with Thermage. So many patients come in and complain to me that they are unhappy with that area of their face with aging skin. Many of my patients are not affected enough to warrant a facelift or do not want a surgical procedure. For these patients Thermage is an excellent alternative since it is a single easy procedure with no recovery time. However, if you have alot of loose skin you will not...

Thermage for Neck and Jowls - Limited Results Expected
Themage Not Ideal for loose skin
Thermage has noticeable but very limited results.Like other skin resurfacing procedures it tends to tighten the skin to an extent to smooth some of the fine lines, improve pigment problems and diminish pore size. What they do NOT do well is to minimize jowls and other signs of facial soft tissue laxity. Only a mini facelift or facelift will take care of this problem in a significant fashion. This is why satisfaction after Thermage treatments are rated so low

Thermage on the neck area
Thermage probably works best on the lower face and neck than other parts of the body. The face heals faster than the rest of your body due to increased flood supply. The higher levels of heat deposited to the cheek and jawline stimulate collagen and promote collagen growth, resulting in firmer skin and a more contoured jawline and chin.

The procedure uses radiofrequency technology called ThermaCool that has been clinically proven to tighten and gently lift skin to smooth out wrinkles and renew facial contours. Fast and easy, Thermage requires no downtime from normal activities. And unlike laser treatments,...

Thermage works well for many people with jowls and saggy necks
Not all patients are candidates for Thermage, especially very elderly individuals with inelastic skin. For those who have saggin skin but good elasticity, jowls can be lifted when the cheeks are treated along wtih the neck.

Thermage and treatment of the aging neck skin
Dear Mary Ellen
Thermage is an excellent device for treatment of brow, eyelid, face and neck skin. It works by heating the deep layer if the skin with sound waves. Other areas where it works well is on the abdomen, buttocks and thighs to help tighten and tone the skin in these areas.
It is usually done with some oral sedation and can take 1.5 to 3 hours depending on the number of areas treated.
For the face , Botox is essential to achieve optimal skin tightening- particularly for the neck...

Thermage is very good for the jowl and jawline.
Hi!
In our New York practice, the jowl and jawline is the most common, and one of the most effective, areas for Thermage. We found that tightening the lower face with Thermage decreases the need for fillers.
The treatment extends one inch below the jawline. If you have loose skin in the lower neck, then Thermage is not the answer. You may need a neck lift.
