The Thermage treatment system was believed to be an ideal option for those seeking the benefits of a traditional facelift without the painful and expensive consequences of the procedure. Tragically, the device has proved too good to be true as patients are discovering that they are now suffering from serious skin divots and dimples that are requiring expensive and uncomfortable follow-up treatments that are used to repair the significant damage done to the skin.
Thermage was believed to be safe and convenient, and was praised for the way that it used radio waves that are tightly focused in order to heat the layer of skin tissue beneath the top layer, which stimulates collagen production and tightens and tones the skin. Unfortunately, this basically amounts to microwaving the skin and has had profound negative effects.
Few patients were informed about these harsh side effects, in part due to the fact that Thermage is a relatively new procedure and most doctors did not seem to understand the dangers. As Thermage continues to gain in popularity without proper warning to patients, more and more users will face severe skin trauma in the years to come.
If you have suffered from the effects of Thermage and aren’t sure where to turn, you have legal options. You could be entitled to financial compensation for your physical and emotional anguish, but you have to act quickly if you want your voice to be heard. Varying statutes of limitations restrict the amount of time consumers have to file a lawsuit against the makers of defective medical devices.
