First of all who am I to say? I founded Precision Aesthetics with Lisa A Zdinak, MD 17 years ago. I researched countless technologies and even traveled the world with Dr Zdinak when she was speaking at the Monte Carlo AntiAging Congress. While there we spent 3 days researching European technologies where we not only met the President of BTL ( Emsculpt, Emface, Emtone, Exilis and Emsella) but brought their first device to New York. We later helped them research and develop their cellulite busting technology. I have also interviewed 17,000 patients at length over the past 17 years as to what treatments they have tried, what worked and what didnt as their first point of contact with our practice.
Treatments to Avoid
CoolSculpting: Google “paradoxical hyperplasia” and “Linda Evangelista.” Paradoxical hyperplasia was noted as an adverse event in 2016 when the technology was first introduced, which is why we avoided it. It causes fat cells to multiply and harden, requiring surgical removal after a year. Linda Evangelista’s case is a notable example, resulting in a $50 million lawsuit.
IUlthera: Google “Ulthera lawsuits” and make your own decision. Class action lawsuits suggest significant issues. Ultrasound on the face seems to be problematic, with claims of nerve damage.
General Advice: Always search for any technology you’re considering alongside terms like “lawsuits” or “adverse events.” Adverse events must be reported to the FDA. Avoid any practice with less than 15 years of experience and prefer a doctor’s office over a med spa, which are often franchised and may not offer the same level of care and privacy.
Safe and Favorite Treatments
Emsculpt: While widely offered, the exact placement of the paddles, temperature, and intensity are crucial. Misuse can be dangerous, as demonstrated by cases of burns and potential harm to those with pacemakers. Exilis, which only melts fat and tightens skin without adding muscle bulk, is a favorite among informed individuals for being half the price.
Emface: This treatment also has suggested protocols and positioning, but intensity and temperature can vary.
Thermage: A top favorite at our facility, people fly in from all over the world for this one-time, non-surgical, one-hour, non-invasive facelift. Performing it effectively and safely requires a high degree of expertise, knowing the vectors, number of pulses in each area, and reaching the maximal effective temperature.
Exilis: Popular for safe body shaping and skin tightening using ultrasound and radiofrequency.
Emtone: Combines acoustic wave and radiofrequency for skin tightening and cellulite reduction.
Everything You Want to Know About Thermage: The Ultimate Guide to Non-Invasive Skin Tightening
The Thermage revolutionized the aesthetic industry. As the first non-invasive skin tightening treatment it set the gold standard in the aesthetic industry. Known for its ability to deliver natural-looking results, Thermage was the first non-surgical technology to address skin tightening through the application of radiofrequency energy. It received FDA approval in 2001, making it a trailblazer in the world of cosmetic procedures.
For context, Thermage was pioneering non-surgical skin treatments nine years before other popular technologies like Exilis, 15 years before CoolSculpting, and 17 years before Emsculpt entered the market. Its early adoption of radiofrequency technology solidified Thermage’s place as a global leader in innovative products, offering safe, effective, and long-lasting solutions for patients looking to rejuvenate their appearance.
In this comprehensive guide, we’ll explore everything you need to know about Thermage, from its history and how it works to its benefits, costs, and how it compares to today’s technologies.
What is Thermage?
Thermage FLX is a non-invasive skin tightening treatment that uses radiofrequency energy to heat the deeper layers of the skin while protecting the outer layer. This process stimulates new collagen production, which reduces fine lines, smooths wrinkles, and tightens loose skin on the face, neck, and body.
Thermage FLX is the latest iteration of the Thermage technology, building on over two decades of innovation. Its radiofrequency technology ensures patient comfort and delivers noticeable improvements after a single treatment, with results that continue to improve over several months.
How Thermage Revolutionized Skin Tightening
When Thermage first received FDA approval in 2001, it introduced a groundbreaking approach to non-invasive skin tightening. By leveraging radiofrequency energy, it offered an effective alternative to surgical procedures like facelifts, which required significant downtime and came with greater risks.
Unlike other technologies available at the time, Thermage could penetrate the skin’s deeper layers to stimulate collagen production without damaging the outer layer. This innovation set the stage for other cosmetic procedures, but Thermage remains unique for its ability to provide natural-looking results with minimal discomfort or recovery time.
To put its influence into perspective:
Thermage debuted 9 years before Exilis, a popular radiofrequency treatment known for skin tightening and fat reduction.
It predated CoolSculpting, a fat-freezing technology, by 15 years.
It also came 17 years before Emsculpt, which uses electromagnetic energy to build muscle and burn fat.
Thermage’s early adoption of radiofrequency technology paved the way for many of the innovative products we see today in the aesthetic industry.
How Does Thermage Work?
The Thermage procedure uses a specialized tip attached to a handheld device to deliver radiofrequency energy to the skin. This energy heats the dermis (the deeper layers of the skin), causing existing collagen fibers to contract and triggering the body to produce new collagen over time.
The treatment is non-invasive, with no needles or incisions required. It also includes a built-in cooling system to protect the outer layer of the skin and ensure patient comfort during the procedure.
Key Steps of the Thermage Procedure:
Preparation: The treatment area is cleaned, and a grid may be applied for precise energy delivery.
Energy Delivery: The radiofrequency energy is delivered in pulses to the targeted area.
Immediate Improvement: The heat causes existing collagen to contract, resulting in visible skin tightening.
Long-Term Results: Over the next 2-6 months, new collagen growth enhances the skin’s texture, tone, and elasticity.
Benefits of Thermage
Thermage FLX offers a wide range of benefits for individuals seeking to improve their appearance without surgery:
FDA-Approved Technology: The first of its kind, Thermage remains a trusted and proven treatment for non-invasive skin tightening.
Immediate Improvement: Many patients see a noticeable difference after just one session.
Long-Lasting Effects: Results can last up to 1-2 years with proper care.
Versatile Treatment Areas: Thermage treats fine lines, frown lines, and wrinkles on the face, tightens vertical bands on the neck, and smooths loose skin on the body.
No Downtime: Patients can return to their normal activities immediately after the procedure.
Treatment Areas for Thermage
Thermage is versatile, offering solutions for multiple treatment areas:
Eyes: Reduces crow’s feet lines and improves hooded eyelids.
Neck: Addresses skin laxity and smooths vertical bands for a youthful look.
Body: Firms loose skin on the abdomen, thighs, arms, and knees.
Who is a Good Candidate for Thermage?
Thermage is ideal for people experiencing mild to moderate skin laxity who want a non-surgical solution to enhance their appearance. It’s particularly effective for individuals in their 30s to 60s looking to prevent or treat early signs of aging.
You may be a good candidate if:
You have fine lines, wrinkles, or loose skin.
You’re not ready for invasive procedures like a facelift.
You want long-lasting, natural-looking results.
How Much Does Thermage Cost?
The cost of Thermage varies depending on the treatment area and provider. On average, treatments range from $2,000 to $5,000. Larger areas like the abdomen are typically more expensive than smaller areas like the eyes.
While the cost may seem high, many patients find the results well worth the investment, especially considering the long-lasting effects and minimal downtime.
How Does Thermage Compare to Other Technologies?
Thermage is often compared to other skin tightening treatments, such as Ultherapy, CoolSculpting, and Emsculpt. Here’s how it stacks up:

While newer technologies like CoolSculpting and Emsculpt focus on fat reduction and muscle building, Thermage remains the top choice for non-invasive skin tightening.
How Long Do Thermage Results Last?
Thermage results typically last 12 to 24 months, depending on factors like age, lifestyle, and skincare habits. Maintenance treatments are recommended every 1-2 years to sustain the effects.

In the ever-evolving world of beauty and aesthetics, it is vital to approach each decision with integrity, mindfulness, and a deep sense of purpose. This manifesto outlines guiding principles to ensure that all aesthetic choices contribute to personal well-being, happiness, and authenticity.
1. First Do No Harm
Prioritize safety and health above all else. Ensure that any aesthetic procedure or treatment is conducted with care, using the safest methods and technologies available. Protecting your body and mind is the cornerstone of true beauty. Avoid treatments that have proven risky with some percentage resulting in negative outcomes, like CoolSculpting ( paradoxical hyperplasia) and Ultherapy ( many class action law suits for facial nerve damage) Consider carefully even deep microneedling with radiofrequency (known to occassionally cause scars) and proceed with caution.
PS Isnt bad Botox, overfilled lips and too much filler also harm? Is your goal to look like you have had a lot of work done, and completely incongruent for your age and even a bit plastic looking with no expression?
2. Authentic Happiness
Choose treatments for your own happiness, not to meet the expectations of others. True beauty stems from within, and any enhancements should reflect your personal values and desires, not societal pressures or the opinions of others. A doctor’s office with integrity will not treat you if you state you are actually doing the treatment for someone else. For example, a young woman recently mentioned she wanted to treat stretch marks because her superficial boyfriend didn’t like them. Remove the boyfriend, not the stretch marks.
3. Financial Well-Being
Avoid compromising your financial stability for cosmetic procedures. Beauty should be an enhancement, not a burden. Make choices that respect your financial limits and prioritize your long-term peace of mind. Beauty treatments are for discretionary income. If you can’t afford them and can’t even afford to put them on your credit card because they are all maxed out, then you shouldn’t be taking out a loan for the treatment. We are not going to put you into a loan, just like the mortgage on your home for a treatment. Every time I go to a seminar, the “doctors” tell me we could make 30% more money if we took financing. Its the norm in the industry. Is that right? You tell me. If you cant even afford to charge it on one of your credit cards, I dont think its right for us to trick or coerce you into entering into long term financing for a maintenance type treatment. Dirty little secret, you lose collagen and muscle every day of your life. Sooner or later you will need another treatment and or a face lift. And why not do a treatment like Emface, that increases collagen and muscles as much as approximately 30%? In my humble opinion, why not naturally stimulate and restore your muscles to naturally lift your face. And I am not going to even get into the scarring that will happen with multiple injections of fillers and Botox. Lastly when someone puts you into a financing arrangement, its a bit heartless. If you cant afford it go bankrupt, lose you house. Its between you and the financing company. The doctor or Med Spa have nothing to do with it, even if you claim you didnt get the results promised.
4. Realistic Expectations
Understand that beauty treatments can enhance confidence, but they won’t transform your life or solve deeper issues. Approach aesthetic decisions with a balanced mindset and a focus on complementing your natural beauty.
5. Less Is More
Prefer non-surgical options and the least invasive procedures when possible. Subtle, thoughtful enhancements often yield the most natural and satisfying results while minimizing risks and downtime.
6. Embrace Inner Beauty
True beauty is a reflection of your inner self. Maxwell Maltz, a renowned plastic surgeon, once observed that many patients who underwent significant surgeries still felt unchanged because they “didn’t see any difference.” Recognizing this, Maltz authored the groundbreaking book Psycho-Cybernetics, exploring the profound connection between self-image and personal fulfillment. As Maltz emphasized, it is not merely physical changes but the way you perceive yourself that shapes your confidence and happiness.
A Holistic Approach to Beauty
Let your journey in aesthetics be guided by these principles. Remember that external enhancements are merely a complement to the inner work of self-love, acceptance, and growth. By aligning your aesthetic choices with these values, you honor both your physical appearance and your deeper sense of self-worth.
And don’t forget: first drink water, quit smoking, use sunscreen, eat plenty of fruits and vegetables, and exercise. That alone may change not only how you look but how you feel about how you look.
Finally, not sure how to say this in today’s they/them world, but in the heterosexual world, real men find powerful, successful women attractive. It is also said that women are attracted to men that look like they have a little wisdom, vs a ken doll. I guess we all find those who are successful and doing something with their lives attractive.

In the world of fashion and beauty, there’s a phrase that resonates with timeless wisdom: “You wear the clothes; don’t let the clothes wear you.” This adage, deeply rooted in the art of personal style, speaks to the power of confidence and self-expression. It’s a reminder that our clothes and makeup should enhance who we are, not overshadow our true selves.
The Essence of Personal Style
Personal style is an intimate extension of our identity. It’s how we choose to present ourselves to the world, a reflection of our inner self. When we wear clothes that make us feel comfortable and authentic, we project a sense of confidence and ease. Our attire should complement our personality, allowing us to shine through rather than becoming a disguise that hides our true essence.
Consider a powerful business suit or a flowing summer dress. When these pieces align with who we are and how we feel, they empower us. We walk a little taller, smile a little brighter, and feel more at home in our skin. The clothes become an extension of our identity, not a mask we wear to fit into a mold.
The Same Principle Applies to Makeup
Just as with clothing, makeup should enhance our natural beauty, not mask it. In the realm of aesthetics, makeup is a tool for self-expression and accentuation, not for creating a façade. The goal is to highlight our unique features, bringing out the best in us while allowing our true selves to remain front and center.
Makeup, when applied thoughtfully, enhances our confidence and brings out the inner glow. A touch of mascara to brighten the eyes, a sweep of blush to add warmth, or a bold lipstick to make a statement can all serve to amplify our natural beauty. However, when makeup becomes a means to cover up or drastically alter our appearance, it can lead to a disconnection from our authentic self.
Finding Balance
The balance between letting clothes and makeup enhance us without overshadowing our true selves is delicate but achievable. Here are a few tips to keep in mind:
Know Yourself: Understanding your personality, comfort level, and the image you want to project is crucial. Choose styles and makeup that resonate with your inner self rather than conforming to external expectations.
Comfort is Key: Whether it’s your favorite pair of jeans or a carefully chosen shade of lipstick, comfort translates to confidence. If you feel good in what you’re wearing, it shows.
Quality over Quantity: Invest in quality pieces and makeup that enhance your natural features. It’s better to have a few versatile, well-made items than a wardrobe or makeup kit full of trends that don’t suit you.
Embrace Your Unique Features: Celebrate what makes you unique. Whether it’s freckles, curly hair, or a distinctive sense of style, these are the elements that make you, you.
Less Can Be More: Sometimes, simplicity speaks louder than extravagance. A minimalist approach to fashion and makeup can often be the most striking and genuine.
Empowerment Through Authenticity
Ultimately, the concept of “wearing the clothes” rather than letting them wear you, and the same with makeup, is about empowerment through authenticity. It’s about owning our choices and presenting ourselves in a way that is true to who we are. When we align our outer appearance with our inner identity, we project a powerful and genuine confidence that transcends trends and time.
In a world that often pressures us to conform, embracing our true selves through fashion and makeup is a bold statement of self-love and acceptance. So, wear that dress because it makes you feel unstoppable, or apply that shade of lipstick that makes you smile. Let your clothes and makeup be the canvas on which you paint your unique story, one that only you can tell.
Remember, true style and beauty come from within. Embrace who you are, and let your clothes and makeup be the accent that highlights your incredible, one-of-a-kind self.
First of all who am I to say? I founded Precision Aesthetics with Lisa A Zdinak, MD 17 years ago. I researched countless technologies and even traveled the world with Dr Zdinak when she was speaking at the Monte Carlo AntiAging Congress. While there we spent 3 days researching European technologies where we not only met the President of BTL ( Emsculpt, Emface, Emtone, Exilis and Emsella) but brought their first device to New York. We later helped them research and develop their cellulite busting technology. I have also interviewed 17,000 patients at length over the past 17 years as to what treatments they have tried, what worked and what didnt as their first point of contact with our practice.
Treatments to Avoid
CoolSculpting: Google “paradoxical hyperplasia” and “Linda Evangelista.” Paradoxical hyperplasia was noted as an adverse event in 2016 when the technology was first introduced, which is why we avoided it. It causes fat cells to multiply and harden, requiring surgical removal after a year. Linda Evangelista’s case is a notable example, resulting in a $50 million lawsuit.
IUlthera: Google “Ulthera lawsuits” and make your own decision. Class action lawsuits suggest significant issues. Ultrasound on the face seems to be problematic, with claims of nerve damage.
General Advice: Always search for any technology you’re considering alongside terms like “lawsuits” or “adverse events.” Adverse events must be reported to the FDA. Avoid any practice with less than 15 years of experience and prefer a doctor’s office over a med spa, which are often franchised and may not offer the same level of care and privacy.
Safe and Favorite Treatments
Emsculpt: While widely offered, the exact placement of the paddles, temperature, and intensity are crucial. Misuse can be dangerous, as demonstrated by cases of burns and potential harm to those with pacemakers. Exilis, which only melts fat and tightens skin without adding muscle bulk, is a favorite among informed individuals for being half the price.
Emface: This treatment also has suggested protocols and positioning, but intensity and temperature can vary.
Thermage: A top favorite at our facility, people fly in from all over the world for this one-time, non-surgical, one-hour, non-invasive facelift. Performing it effectively and safely requires a high degree of expertise, knowing the vectors, number of pulses in each area, and reaching the maximal effective temperature.
Exilis: Popular for safe body shaping and skin tightening using ultrasound and radiofrequency.
Emtone: Combines acoustic wave and radiofrequency for skin tightening and cellulite reduction.
