When choosing a Thermage provider, it’s a good idea to begin your selection by researching the Thermage procedure: both its risks and its benefits. Once you have an understanding of the procedure, you will be in a better position to interview and talk with specialists who are offering the Thermage procedure. You will also be better able to tell if Thermage is the best procedure to help you achieve your individual goals.
Once you have an initial consultation visit scheduled, make a list of any questions or concerns that you want to discuss with your specialist. The following list will give you an idea of some of the areas you might want to discuss during your consultation:
- Ask the specialist about any certifications or other education he or she may have in the Thermage process, as well as other cosmetic procedures he or she may perform regularly.
- Ask about the specialist’s experience level in performing Thermage. When considering any medical procedure, it’s generally a good idea to choose a specialist with an advanced knowledge of the procedure, and with a broad breadth of experience in performing the procedure, in order to avoid potential complications and achieve the best results.
- Ask to see before and after photos of other Thermage patients. To get the best indication of the results you may expect, ask to see photos of individuals with the same conditions – such as fine wrinkles and sagging – that you are experiencing, and with the same skin type.
- Ask about financing. Like other cosmetic procedures, Thermage is not covered by major medical insurers. If you are interested in financing your Thermage procedure, be sure to ask the specialist about any types of financing options the practice may offer.
Thermage is a popular procedure for both men and women who want to look younger and rejuvenated, without having to undergo a surgical facelift. By asking direct questions during the consultation, you can help ensure you achieve the results you want.
