Not Worth It
Spent: $10,000 in Bethesda, MD
This piece of work was expensive and I was there for 3 hours or more. She put chekered type film on my face so as to know where to put the pulse. The pulse was not a big deal. Suppossedly this pulse of light will force the collagen beneath the surface to begin to repair and rebuild. The pulses didn't hurt; maybe a few tingles. But adfterwards, sorry but I saw nothing about my face that looked new and youhger. I felt sorry for my husband to have wated a day from work and for spending 100000.00 for nothing. I certainly was no more beautiful and we were certainly more poor. Not worth it.

WOW, this post looks VERY SUSPICIOUS. I am sorry but there is no way you would spend $10k for a simple face procedure. Face procedures run in the range of $2-4K. Furthermore, I have never EVER heard of a thermage treatment last as long as 3 hours, certainly not for the face. The misinformation in this post is so transparent. This sounds like a Thermage competitor coming to bash a superior procedure.

A good Thermage treatment will take about 2.5 hours. What worries me is that she said that she didn't feel anything. This means the energy levels were nowhere near where they should be to do any results. You should feel intense heat (without medication). Also, it seems as though she was misconsulted because Thermage is on the light spectrum, but is not a laser. It's radio frequency that heats the water next to the collagen, and that causes the collagen to tighten and rebuild.

I agree!! How fish is that?? I work at a medical spa, and there is NO WAY in **** she paid 10k for work on the FACE!!! That is absolutely absurd, and I really hope people don't use that post as part of their decision to get this treatment. Also, no way that it could have taken 3 hours. Even extremely detrimental skin would not take that long!
