Skin Care Review: Thermage

by Anonymous, Andover, MA

Rating
No effect

Benefits
Skin Tightening Procedure

Drawbacks
very painful, expensive

Details
I am 50 years old and had the thermage procedure 6 months ago. I was almost ready for surgery, but thought I'd try this first. It was very painful even though I had numbing creme applied as well as a block and prescription pain killers. After the procedure my face was slightly swollen for about ten days and my neck was numb, yet tender, for close to a month.I was promised I would look 10 years younger- Well, I can't say for sure there is a difference. I went for after photos at 4 months and couldn't which were the before and which were the after pictures. Now, at 6 months, there might be a very slight improvement, I'm not sure. My suggestion would be to put your money somewhere you get a better result. I've never spent so much for so little before.

Conclusions
Thermage is way overpriced for the results

Price (paid by reviewer)
$2800
