Thermage face tightening treatments from Solta Medical have created an innovative kind of anti-aging and body laxity procedures for cosmetic physicians, cosmetic or plastic surgeons and laser centers which brings an extra non-surgical treatment to every aesthetic medical practice; Radio frequency face tightening. But yet, you will discover possible challenges that both Thermage and subjects could experience.

Thermage has applied a new business design which costs a MD or medical spa for every Thermage skin tightening procedure by ‘deactivating’ the Thermage procedure tip after a determined number of pulses as well as a certain time period, even when your tip remains usable. This puts a aesthetic dermatologist or cosmetic surgeon in the predicament of purchasing Thermage tips that would still operate, except that they’ve been artificially turned off.

Along with tips priced at up to $1000 for getting a individual treatment and plastic surgeons under increasing impetus to keep up income levels, plenty of medical spas and MDs are looking at vendors to ‘refurbish’ their tips for even more use through changing the counter in the tip and effectively reactivating a device to permit further use.

But according to Solta Thermage tips are turned off to ensure client protection.

Thermage’s position about reactivated used tips:

“The chief review we know of affecting Thermage skin tightening is a four year research project carried out via Weiss,1 and it barely concerned 600 subjects. Additionally, statements within the Stevens publication are wildly inconsistent with immense sums of Thermage quality and reliability data we have put together on our own equipment through the years. We know for a fact the membrane on our Thermage tip could stop working when subjected to a tiny fraction of the repeated use this publication claims can be done. Dielectric meltdown can result in patient injuries.

There are possible problems that may occur by treating patients using defective treatment tips that can include burns and the destruction of body fat that could leave lasting depressions. Although, with progressively more physicians and medical spas seeking to press out income anywhere they are able to and gray market dealers capable of offer used Thermage tips for hundreds of dollars less than any retail cost, the trends will probably increase.
