Question

Will medicaid cover thermage for cellulite??.......I have it on my but in 3 spots and at the top of my legs, does medicaid cover this?

Michele S. Green, MD · Answer

Cellulite is a cosmetic problem and is not covered by any medical insurance. Thermage will help treat cellulite but health insurance will not cover cosmetic procedures like Thermage.

Joshua L. Fox, MD · Answer

Cellulite is just a normal way that fat is stored and is very common in women. Medicaid will not cover this.
