Consumables are crazy expensive, especially in Australia - in some cases consumables are 70% more than the US or in Asia. Thermage is excellent, in select cases as Dr Green suggested. I do believe there is a racial biased due to collagen contraction and thickness with Thermage- definitely an advantage in Ethnic patients. I also engage Ultherapy in other cases where Thermage may not be suitable. Dr Davin Lim. Brisbane. Australia.
