Thermage is advertised as a one-time session, to help skin on stomach after pregnancy... well I tried it as I don't want a tummy tuck, but it didn't do anything. No change -- I'm 3 months out... I seriously doubt my stomach will change in the next few months. The doctors/staff were fine, but told me I would need MULTIPLE treatments to see results. Really??? I highly doubt doing this 2-3 more times would change a thing. And at the cost it isn't worth it at all... it does nothing! And hurts, omg does it hurt! 3 hours of torture for nothing and $900 down the drain. I'm bummed it's marketing is so misleading.

Hi ruined,

Oh my I'm so sorry. I can't believe that happened to you. Have you gone to see anyone else, maybe for a second opinion? Sometimes it helps. Are you looking into a different procedure now, instead? Please keep us updated.

Thanks so much for the review,

Thanks. I was told that multiple treatments (@ $900 each) might help... but I think that is a lie/just a way to make more money since the actual Thermage company advertises that one treatment is all you need and more won't do anything more. I was also told only a tummy tuck can't make my stomach look the way it did pre-kids. Long story short, I'm just trying to work on the other parts of my body and come to terms with my post-pregnancy body. I wanted to share my experience though, because Thermage doesn't work and costs a lot of money... hopefully my mistake can help someone else to make a wiser decision.

Hi ruined,

Yes that does seem rather unrealistic and pricey to fix your stomach. I think the plan you are on sounds good of fixing your other parts, and maybe sometime in the future you will be able to get an actual tummy tuck. Please keep us updated. 

Thanks,

Hi, Oh my lord I was getting ready to have this done here in Tampa! I would really appreciate it if you could email me with you did your procedure so I do NOT go to that facility. {edited} I was considering either ultimate image in clearwater or the tampa laser center.

Wow did it melt the fat and leave hanging skin? Or nothing at all.

This is what I looked like before procedure (from having babies)... the procedure didn't cause the hanging skin... I already had that and was looking for something to help with that. I had little to no fat from exercise/dieting... but the hanging skin is permanent unless I get a tummy tuck. Bottom line, Thermage does nothing -- no damage, but also no benefit

Something does not seem right. First off, Thermage treatment is typically 2,500.00. I've never heard of it costing 900.00 anywhere. Facial treatment is 2,500.00 and takes approx one hour. The tummy would take longer but three hours? At 900.00 only?? Maybe the place wasn't upfront about what treatment they actually provided.

I have a similar tummy after several kids and had the procedure done in Australia at the begining of October 2011. It cost $4000.00 and there is no change what so ever. Highly disappointed and broke.

hi Kizmet, I was just ready to do a thermage treatment to my face in Sydney, and it will cost me $3000, I'm just gingerly thinking whether the 3000 make anything changes on my face... How long have u done with the thermage? and it really still nothing to show?

Hi Quinty
I had it done in October and there is still no evidence that it has worked. I remain fit and active, but my belly remains saggy. I am really disappointed, and thinking about getting a mini tummy tuck, which I didn't want to have to do, after having a small portion of my breast removed from cancer, (I just didn't want to have to have surgery again and scarring. But I really would NOT do it, I am in debt now for no good reason.

Had thermage on upper arms for crepy sagging skin, $3000.00 and 1 year later my arms look EXACTLY the same as they did prior to the treatment. It is an absolute ripoff. I am still trying to find a way to non surgically tighten up the skin on my arms. Thermage should be taken off the market, it is VERY expensive, painful and does NOT do what it is advertised. What a waste of $3000.00!
