What is the difference between Thermage and Sculptra?

Hello I am a 44 year old female, who\'s considering a thermage or scupltra treatment to tighten around the jawline. What is the difference of the two and which one would you recommend?

Here are the two links that should help you (Sculptra) (Thermage).  Sculptra is an injectable liquid that adds volume and lift by slowlng building your own collagen.  Thermage is a radiofrequency (sound wave) device that provides lifting by tightening existing collagen and building new collagen.   Dr. I

One of the best investments in your skin is your daily skincare. Why? Because you can prevent many problems with blotchy skin color, lack of glow, texture, some types of acne, and fine lines with good skincare products. You can also correct some of these problems with effective skincare products. Great skincare is often more expensive because quality ingredients are expensive. Some companies spend on research/development which benefits all of us and adds to the cost. Are they worth it? In general - yes! I have handpicked some of what I consider to be the best skin care products, and offer them for sale on SkinTour's shop. This is based on my team and I's testing and research at our clinic. Many of the products are in my own regimen. What could be better than using skin care products a dermatologist uses?!
