The Thermage treatment tends to work best in people who are just on the verge of considering cosmetic facial surgery. Patients with very loose skin, sagging jowls, and a turkey gobbler may not see much improvement after Thermage and are better suited for surgical procedures, such as a facelift.
Unlike laser treatments, Thermage works well on people with all skin types and doesn’t cause any variable pigmentation in darker-skinned complexions.
