Thermage for upper arms

[brad]

I had Thermage done on my upper arm this morning. I had lipo for upper arms last year and wasn't happy with the loose skin. Since I only had one arm done today, I can really see the different by looking and touching. after Thermage, my right under arm feels tighter. My dr. told me that it will take up to 6 weeks to see the result so I am scheduled to have my left arm done in Nov. I didn't feel much on some part of my arm during thermage but some part hurt REALLY BAD. it hurts the worest around my elbow and under arm.. I could feel the heat going under my skin and followed by niddle pinching. That's why I decided to do one arm because I coudln't take the pain anymore.

Though my outer arms are toned and defined as a result of lifting weights my inner arms do not respond to the exercise and the skin is loose so I was considering Thermage in that area. I would be very interested in hearing about your progress and also, if you don't mind, the costs involved. Do you need only one treatment per arm or a series?

Looking forward to hearing from you and hope your recovery is swift and effective.

you also might consider reading and doing research about lipo-dissolve, meso therapy. I wrote about my experience under lipo-dissolve in this thread. It costs initially for the first set of injections (at my doctor's office) $350.00, then $250.00 for each treatment thereafter. I was told anywhere from 4-6 for the upper arm area. Though, I'm open to more if necessary. I was told that by about the 4th treatment (or possibly even sooner) I would see some difference. No visible cellulite, tightening of the skin etc. She did also say to me, that If the hanging or looser skin under the arm wasn't to my satisfaction, that she would recommend thermage-but after this series of lipo/meso therapy. Just thought you might be interested in hearing about something else.

pw: lipo

my right arm was bigger than my left arm before thermage and it's smaller now.
my dr. charged $3000 for both arm but i got huge discount because he's my cousin's husband. i believe that you only need one treatment per arm. i was hoping to have both arms done at the same time but it took 2 hours to do one arm and it hurt alot in some part.

They only do one arm at a time? Why don't they do both at once?

I'm sure you would have the option of getting both your arms done.
