dear sir i lost about 50 kilos and i have some dead skin on my abdoman will thermage work for me i m trying to escape surgery best regrds

No, no and more no!!!  It would be so nice if it did but it doesn’t.  Thermage is best on tummies with just a little bit of excess skin and I’m still not impressed with body Thermage even then.  I still think the body tips don’t work well.  The most recent reengineering improved them a little but not enough to make it worthwhile for most.  The face is a whole different story – please see blog posts on that area.  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?!
