I read that a combination of Thermage (one treatment) and Fraxel laser (3-5 treatments) gives a good alternative facelift. Some doctors in Europe sell this about 5,000 Euros. They call it "Thermafrax." Is this combination therapy effective for someone who does not want a surgery? Thank you.
Answer: Thermafrax vs. Facelift These nonsurgical alternative will provide results, but it is not fair to compare them to a fascial suspension or tightening procedure such as a facelift. A facelift treats the underlying fascial support of the face and is not equivalent to a skin tightening procedure.

Answer: These treatments cannot replace a facelift It can not replace a facelift for those who need such surgery, but it can tighten up the forehead and upper eyelids slightly. It can also pull up the jowl a little. It may be a very good treatment for those who absolutely won’t have surgery, but you won’t be happy if you want the same tightening as a facelift or browlift.

Answer: Facelift like results from Fraxel and Thermage Fractionated Erbium laser resurfacing is primarily to achieve improvement in sundamaged skin to correct pigment and vascular changes. It requires 3 or four sessions. I personally prefer a one procedure treatment with Active Fx, another fractional laser system. Thermage is done once and is a radiofrequency based system that tightens by causing a deep skin injury that results in new collagen formation that takes 3-4 months to occur. Combined they are effective BUT are absolutely not a facelift. They are very useful for the patient who sees early changes of sagging and wrinkling but who is not ready for, or cannot afford, a facelift. In general, younger patients (in their 40's) have the best results with Thermage and Fraxel.
