Thermage for Loose Skin on Abdomen After Pregnancy - It Worked for Me

I chose Thermage because I had loose skin on my abdomen after two pregnancies. I was not interested in a tummy-tuck, so Thermage appeared to be a good alternative.

So, I'm about 3 years out from the procedure & it still looks great. It got rid of almost all of the wrinkly, loose skin. The only trace remaining is around my belly button.

The downside is this: it is absolutely the most painful experience I have ever had next to child birth. I was stunned by the intensity of the pain. I'm told the stomach area is more sensitive than the face. In any event, I won't find out b/c I won't have it done again.

See before & after photos ... .

I live in Denver also and I am interested in the procedure but having a hard time locating a facility. Can you please let me where you had it done. You look great by the way!

No you didn't represent that.. but you didn't mention it either, and my point was more about pointing out how women will look at that and not consider your workout regimen and will assume thermage can do that. Unfortunately you took it as a direct criticism which is not what was intended. On the upside, it worked for you... many women I know have a barely visible improvement.

Yes I agree with you skeptic. In Nicmar's photo, before treatment she doesnt have any sagging at all. It just looks like bloating from pregnancy.
All she needed to do was work out to get her stomach back to normal and naturally through excercise the skin does adjust, which nicmar did. Hence the results in the 6 pack picture. So nicmar's review personally hasnt convinced me whatsoever. Honestly people doesnt take a rocket scientist to work this out from nicmars photo's.

It seems it was a combo approach, she was working out & had the treatment done. It is hard to say exactly what parts of the change are attributed to her dedication to working out and what is the treatment - but whatever it was, I think we can all agree she looks great!!

Well, duh, "skeptic"; of course the muscles are from working out. First, I didn't represent that I got a six-pack from the Thermage procedure. I stated that Thermage addressed my loose skin - pay attention.

I'm sorry Nicmar, but there is no way that your after pic is the result of thermage!! You can clearly see your muscles defined which is a result of working out not a collagen stimulating procedure!! Ladies, don't fall for that review!!

I have a flat stomach also, but have wrinkly skin which is what I want improved. Her initial post was clearly about wrinkly skin and not fat removal. P.S. Your post was rudely stated.

Nicmar is right, Thermage on the stomach is the most painful thing I've experienced next to child labor. I did it once. It worked for sure, but I'd never do it again due to the pain factor! Nicmar, your after photos are amazing. The pics look like they are two totally different people!
