Thermage and Exilis continue to grow and dominate Skin tightening

In the face of one of the most severe economic downturns in the history of our country, body shaping, skin tightening and body contouring have not slowed down at all. In fact those procedures are actually increasing and reaching an even wider audience and have clearly gone mainstream. Precision Aesthetics the only Thermage Black Diamond and Pinnacle Award winner in NY as well as the first practice to introduce Exilis in New York  has recently expanded to accommodate their increased demand. Thermage has maintained its leadership for facial rejuvenation or non surgical face lift as well as skin tightening for the body or body shaping.  The majority of educated patients seek out the more experienced Pinnacle Award and Black Diamond providers after reading that there is clearly a huge disparity in Thermage patient satisfaction. No matter what part of the country you live in before you choose a provider, research the Thermage website and find a Pinnacle or Black Diamond provider to insure that you get the best possible treatment that your skin is capable of achieving. There are other factors that come into play, such as your age, the amount of collagen that you are starting out with, supplementing with Vitamin C and other supplements specifically designed to help your body to build more collagen.  Find out exactly how many pulses or tips the provider is going to use for your treatment. ( each tip costs many hundreds of dollars)  which has led to the practice of “under treating” I remember when I went for my first Thermage many years ago, the Doctor only used a 600 tip on my face. He saved himself a  few hundred dollars but my “older” face demanded at least 900 pulses for an effective treatment. If you do your homework, find a practice where the technicians have been taught by an on staff physician lecturer ( someone who actually teaches the Doctors) as well as research the Thermage website to insure that you are getting your treatment from a provider with their coveted Black Diamond or Pinnacle Award, I am sure you will be one of the ones that are greatly satisfied with your results. Beware of bargain pricing I would rather pay  3 or $4000 for a terrific result than $1500 for no result.  Its not that complicated once you learn the lingo. Next time we will start interviewing Doctors from other parts of the country. Stay tuned.
