Thermage Nxt or Cpt?

Question

I am 35 looking to achieve a more contoured and tightened look using non invasive procedures. My derm pushed me towards Thermage The confusion is whether I should choose the Cpt or Nxt as I have been told that the efficacy levels of both the devices are same except that Cpt provides vibrations to enhance comfort. But the both devices are equally effective. In terms of SAFETY PROFILE and EFFICACY, which device would you suggest ? Thank you!

I recommend using the non invasive modality known as Ultherapy to tighten the neck and face without surgery. The Ultherapy treatment uses microfocused ultrasound. RaffyKaramanoukian MD FACSLos Angeles

Thermage CPT is the newest advance from Thermage.  The total tip from Thermage allows deeper heating and more collagen formation with better results.  Thermage is a fabulous skin rejuvenating laser and you will have great results.  Please be certain to find a board certified dermatologist with great experience in Thermage for the best results.

Thermage CPT which stands for comfort pulse
technology is the newest machine with the most advanced technology. Thermage
CPT uses gentle vibrations interspersed with a cooling sensation to make your
Thermage treatment more comfortable. About June of 2013 Solta the makers of
Thermage also improved the technology on their tip making the Thermage CPT with
treatment using the Total Tip technology being the most effective Thermage
option. The Total Tip delivers double the maximum volume of bulk heat delivery
for greater efficacy and has the same great safety profile. At my office I do
multiple Thermages a week, our patients see results immediately off the table
and continue to get improvement with Thermage CPT Total Tip treatments for up
to 6 months after their treatment.

Thermage CPT using the Total Tip is a safe treatment and gives better results than the NXT and the tightening effect is seen more quickly.  The CPT's vibration makes the treatment more comfortable. The safety profile is the same for the CPT or NXT.
