Well, I haven't seen anything in terms of increased firmness yet, but I am slowly turning green - as a result of your posts ;)
So glad for you Miss Clare. Money well invested. My doc, during the consultation, said that I would not see much, but he depressed my jowl area (if I had them) with his thumb to show the degree of change I could expect. I'm almost two months in I think and there has not been the slightest improvement.
TikiTiki, what is evident at the Carruthers' office is that they don't get that times have changed from when "doctor was god." We live in an age where someone can tweet "Carruthers #Fail appalling service. Beware!" to hundreds of followers, or update their status on Facebook to tell all of their friends about their negative experience. To anyone with a business brain, this means ACCOUNTABILITY. Accountability is something sadly lacking in this industry, where, in order to receive a service perhaps costing $2500 or more, you are required to sign a document saying you acknowledge it might not work!
I have "Carruthers scars" on my face and Jean never bothered to return my call. This is disgraceful. I hope you are able to achieve something legally and again wish you the very best.
I have always liked and respected Dr. Carruthers but he has changed so much. His wife, Jean Carruthers, has never returned calls and, recently, he started taking this approach as well. The women in his office are plain RUDE IMO and full of self-importance. One had the nerve to try to charge me $150 or therabouts when I called in the day before to try to change my appointment time then, when I turned up on time, he was running over an hour late. I should have presented them with a bill for my time. I wish you all the best. I have never thought Thermage, Fraxel, or similar treatments are worth the risk. I have read too much about Thermage lawsuits and now Angela's horrendous experience and yours.
