Thermage and Peelings are excellent complimentary treatments although they have no similar characteristics. Thermage is a radiofrequency device that uses heat to stimulate your own collagen and cause a tightening to the skin. Thermage is used for people who are noticing that there skin is losing it elasticity and to prevent further drooping. Peels on the other hand treat the outer layers of the skin with digestive enzymes to remove dead skin cells and expose fresh radiant skin. The goal with peels is to exfoliate the surface to improve the quality and look of the skin (reduce oiliness, blackheads, fine lines, dull skin and pigmentation). So you can see why they would be ideal to go together to address loose skin and imperfections.
Greetings Michelle~ When you ask about peeling, I am assuming you are referring to chemical peels. Regardless of the type of chemical (acid) peel, peels address the surface color and to some extent texture. Thermage does not address color but does address collagen stimulation and skin tightening. So, if your concern is sagging or loose skin--I recommend Thermage. If your concern is brown spots or sun damage, I would recommend a peel. Take care~ Dr. Grant Stevens

Botox is absolutely safe after thermage but I generally recommend waiting 48 - 72 hours after treament mainly to give any swelling from the Thermage procedure time to go away.
Yes, Thermage is safe for any skin type... just like with any treatment there are always risks so whomever you go with to get treated please make sure the provider is experienced with the technology they are using on you. Hope this helps.
