Should You Get Thermage?

How are your Thermage results lasting since you had it done in 2006? Would you recommend it to people? Has your upper eye skin (skin between eyebrow and eye lid) always been separated from your eye or did Thermage lift the skin from your upper eyelids?

Before and After Thermage
Hi Emma,

My Thermage results held up very well and I'm glad I had it done. As with any such procedure, the clock is set back; but then it starts running forward again. The immediate results of Thermage are very subtle. You will definitely notice the improvement but others will only notice that you look less tired or less stressed.

The area treated continues to tighten over the next six months or so. Did you see my Before and After Photos? They were taken before treatment and then at 3 and 7 1/2 months post procedure.

Four years later, my face still looks several years younger than my actual age of 64. Yet it looks natural and still looks like me. I consider a full face lift the option of last resort because multiple face lifts "merely" stretch thinner and thinner tissue over the same skeletal framework. After several lifts, a women starts to look gaunt, very unnatural and frequently, like a different person altogether.

My approach is anti-aging skin products, then in-office procedures like fillers and Botox, then medical procedures like Thermage. Anything to replace lost collagen and retain tissue depth before I have to “go under the knife”.

I've always had a lot of "real estate" between my lash line and eye brows. That just comes along with having a very long and narrow face. Has anyone invented a way to shorten or widen the face yet? lol. Still you can see in the photos that my eyes did get a nice lift from the Thermage.

I recommend Thermage with a few reservations which you can read about here.

Regards,
Jean
