Thermage: Stories

This the answer to her review: This lady admits that she had immediate results from Thermage! which is outstanding because you normaly have to wait 2-4 month before seeing results ,that right there tells everyone that she recieved the right kind of treatment and a pill to relax her would have not caused more results! Also the before-care instructions is given to all the patients prior to treatment(written&oral) and she just did not remember or care for it. As far as the treatment not being done by the physician himself , she did not mention that Thermage is not a device that needs to be operated ONLY by a physician (it is different from lasers) because it uses Radio waves and is extremely safe to be used by medical assistants and the person who treated this patient was CERTIFIED by the Thermage company to do so! if you look up other clinics who perform thermage , you will notice that the gran majority is done by medical assistants also. actually if the docor does it then the cost would double or more. She mentions that " the cost to do that is totally worth it" so I do not understand her dissatisfaction! She never updated her review to tell us how her results progressed later on ,which by her initial great results she must have had a great outcome. Her review is very premature review on basis of her own misunderstandings. She was informed (just like all other pateints are ) about the fact that the physician does not perform this procedure and she might have forgot that because of time distance between her initial consultation and her actual treatment visit

SylviaJ, please remember that everyone will have different experiences. We ask that everyone respect each person's experience, even if it is different from their own.

As for the immediate change she saw, couldn't this have been swelling she mistook as results? It seems that is often the case, then the swelling goes down and things look "back to normal" unless/until results are seen.
