It's as if I had done nothing

I'll update as time goes on, but I wanted to start right away. I just had my very first Thermage treatment this morning. After reading all of the reviews about it being so painful, I was a little apprehensive, but I was doing it regardless.

The tech was very nice. She answered all of my questions. She made me comfortable and was a great conversationalist. The time flew by.

I would have to say that it wasn't painful overall. There were a couple of times I felt a few zaps or it felt hot, but it wasn't bad. It was like 2 seconds total out of a 90-minute procedure. Otherwise, it just felt warm. The jawline was the worst for me. But, like I said, it wasn't an issue. Perfectly fine. Don't let the reviews that mention pain deter you.

I have very fair skin and rosacea so after it was over, I expected to see a tomato looking back at me in the mirror, but I didn't. There was a little pinkness in my cheeks but that faded within an hour. My face looks normal now.

I don't feel the instant "tightness" that others described feeling, unfortunately. But, I have faith it'll do the trick over time.

Since I just had it done, I have no idea how the results will turn out. I'm feeling good about it and am hoping to see improvement over the next few months.

I'll post before/after (and in between) pics soon.

This procedure did absolutely nothing and was a complete waste of money in my case. It might work for some, but for me, it did nothing but drain my wallet.

Sorry I didn't post pictures as promised in my original post, but the before and after pictures would look exactly the same.
