“Thermage Was Perfect for Me”
Worth It
Spent: $2,800 in Houston, TX
I consider myself a fairly attractive lady, but age is starting to catch up to me (no I won't say how old I am!). Most of you know what I mean... slight wrinkling here and there along the face, signs of sagging skin, etc.
So just like any other gal who wants to maintain the beauty of her youth, I started looking into all the options available. A face lift sounded way too extreme - who wants scarring and an unnatural look? Chemical peels looked more like junk science to me (the image of a Shaman claiming to heal villagers comes to mind). And then a dermatologist told me about Thermage.
I read up about it on thermage.com and looked up many reviews at sites like this too. What I found in recent studies was that the company significantly changed its device and tips during 2007 to address the issues many patients previously had:
-Efficacy is far greater than it ever was (you need to give it a few months though, this isn't an overnight face lift)
-Discomfort is very minimal now (you will still feel some minor pain)
-The time it takes to do undergo a procedure has gotten even shorter
With all this in mind, I decided to give it a chance around much of my face. What I saw was a slight change in the week afterward. But in the 2 months following Thermage I compared myself to a before picture and noticed a TON of subtle improvements. I was very happy and the results have lasted so far. It's a natural look I can be proud of.
My derm told me that Thermage is coming out with a CELLULITE tip next March which sounds really exciting! I will definitely be following up to see if I'm a candidate for it.
