Hi Dr. Irwin. Thank you for your Thermage info. I have had around 6 Thermage treatments over 4 and a half years. I have had very dramatic results because I do this treatment every 9 months and it works great for me. I look like I need no surgery at 56 yrs old. I have had 8 fraxel restore treatments and my skin looks great. I am too chicken to do repair. I did have old small acne scars before and reddness. My question to you is a safety one re. Thermage's long term safety, also if I am stretching my skin too much or thinning it somehow. I am asking just because I have done this often. It seems like most people really don't do it as much. This may sound silly, but I don't want to wake up and my skin falls off or has caved in. LOL. Thanks for your reply.
