Skin Care Review: THERMAGE THERMACOOL

Rating
Adverse Effects

Benefits
tightening of the skin, fresher looking face.

Drawbacks
numbness of the jawline, feel like my face and neck have been microwaved

Details
I had Thermage done in Sydney on may 7th 2007 and am currently experienceing numbness of the facial area and down my right side. I found the procedure very painful and toward the end when beneath my chin was being done I found it excruciating but was told to hang on in there, this lasted a minute and I was under the impression - no pain no gain, I am now terrified of what lies ahead. I have noticed a tightness in my face and am noticing an improvement but at what cost and where will i be in 3-6 months time. I chose this treatment as I was under the impression it was non-invasive and not dangerous. The Doctor who treated me also did some botox (on her recommendation), i am not sure if it was wise to combine the treatments. She was qualified to administer Thermage. I a so scared now, I don't know where to turn.

Conclusions
Investigate thoroughly any procedure you are having done and don't scrimp on price.
