As I entered my mid-30s, the nasolabial folds became more pronounced and I could see my cheek fat sagging, so I couldn't avoid a lifting procedure. After reading many reviews, the satisfaction level seemed high among people who had Ulthera and Thermage, so I didn't consider Shurink. Since I don't have much jaw fat, I got a consultation for Thermage and did 4th generation, 600 shots. The first 100 shots or so were bearable, but as more shots were added, that pain... ha.... The nurse handed me a stuffed doll, and I wondered why, but after the procedure I understood the reason~ hahaha
For a month after the procedure, my face was swollen so I could feel the effect, but after a month my face got a glow and I could see that the lifting had removed the eye-area lines and nasolabial folds too, so I'm satisfied. People I see often don't notice it, but people I meet after a long time say my face looks better and seems to have changed~
There are also reviews about side effects with Thermage, but I think it depends on the person. If someone around me asks about lifting procedures, I strongly recommend Thermage!! Don't hesitate and just do it. It's expensive, but it's effective enough that it feels worth the money~^^
