Thermage Eye Very Painful - Ottawa
Just had it done today, so will only notice...
Just had it done today, so will only notice results in a few weeks/months. I did thermage eyes for hooding and droopiness. I am forty so decided I wasn't ready for surgery. I had read all the negative reviews along with some positive. After speaking with my physician decided to go ahead. I was not expecting any pain. I must say, it was. After placing the drops to numb the eye, she placed the disks to protect the eye in...this is where it got painful. She had a lot of trouble. It hurt with each pass over the eye as the disk would push against my eyeball. I have done fraxel before and was expecting the same pain, this was much worse. I am very disappointed with the experience. The pain got so bad she had to remove the disk and start again. I am quite concerned that I will have no results... I will however post again once the required time has passed. Will try to do before and after pics as well...

Oh ouch...I always cringe a little at the thought of the disks, they just sound so unpleasant, but even more so if its a touch too big. :(
Please update us on what changes you are seeing!
Sand 37 - Sorry to hear that it was painfull. I am thinking of having my face and neck done. Was your doctor in the east end of Ottawa say Orleans.
Has any one over age 65 had:
(1) Undereye Thermage and were you pleased with the results?
(2) Face and Neck Thermage and were you pleased with the results?
If you were pleased with the results what is the name of the doctor? Thank you.

Sorry to hear what a rough experience the Thermage was. Do you happen to know how much experience your doctor has performing the procedure?
Hopefully you will see some really great results that will make this worth what you experienced!!
