Thermage will NOT tighten sagging skin or cure cellulite. Sagging thigh skin, depending on its severity, may require a thigh lift. Cellulite is extremely common and is a reflection of skin sagging and the manner in which the fibrous suspension of the buttock and lateral thigh dimples the skin. The answer is NOT Thermage / massage rollers or dietary supplements.
Hello,Thermage FLX, thanks to its body applicator, is a highly effective treatment that eliminates sagging and cellulite in the legs in a single session. Until now, the only treatment that raised the subdermal temperature to 80 degrees Celsius was J plasma. J plasma could be applied in a surgical setting under general anesthesia. However, Thermage FLX can be comfortably administered in a clinical setting without leaving any side effects or disrupting daily life. With its vibration feature, Thermage FLX doesn't cause discomfort, hence anesthesia isn't necessary.

Although Thermage works well on the neck, I have found far better results in my practice with the Ulthera procedure for the neck. Raffy Karamanoukian Los Angeles
I have seen few patients with satisfactory outcomes from Thermage. In fact, I have seen many patients that complain about the results. Therefore, I am extremely reluctant to advise its use. If we could make skin act like shrink wrap, we would not have to perform face lifts, tummy tucks, breast...
One of the big issues that is often disregarded is Patient Selection. Because many treatments are "over hyped", it can be easy to assume any procedure will work for everybody. That's simply not so.Age causes multiple challenges, one of them being the loss of the nice, springy collagen that keeps...
