I did research on Thermage and since I've always had good skin (and never even been to a dermatologist), looked for skin rejuvenation and tightening treatments.
Believe it, but I took the highest frequency of heat pulses to my face! The upside to this treatment was that my cheek/jaw line area were stimulated and look and feel more supple. (This takes about 3-6 months to show results.) I'm not sure there's much "lifting" since I'm not exactly at that age...
The disappointment of this facial treatment is that it does not include your forehead! I remember sitting at my appointment and asked why she stopped and wasn't explained why my forehead wasn't done. Apparently after I spoke to someone at the office to voice my concern last month, was told that the forehead area is not FDA approved with Thermage.
To be honest, it would have been nice if the office could have been more upfront that the "face" only covered your cheeks/jawline and packaged a total facial treatment for the cost of the service, especially since I went there as a referral.
The issue I'm having now is that my forehead looks significantly dryer (aged) than the rest of my face. It does not have the same suppleness and texture after Thermage. Let's be honest, our foreheads are the most exposed and reaction movement driven road maps than the rest of our face.
I would like to know what other effective treatments are ideal to stimulate collagen in my forehead to achieve similar suppleness texture because my Thermage treatment now seems like a total wash. This is especially noticeable when I apply cosmetics because makeup sits differently on dryer skin texture.
If anyone is considering Thermage, you must take the treatment at near one of the highest settings to see any results and work out a prior package deal to treat the forehead, otherwise will have the same issue I'm having now.
