The difference between Thermage 4 and Thermage 5? Should I choose Thermage 4 or 5?

Thermage is a very popular and beloved medical beauty project. Many people who love beauty go for Thermage. Thermage has a very obvious lifting and firming effect on facial skin and can resist aging.

The difference between the fourth and fifth generations of Thermage is that the fifth generation of Thermage treatment depth is upgraded from the 3.0 gold probe to the purple 4.0 probe. The contact technology of the treatment head is safer and more comfortable, preventing burns, and can also reduce the treatment time by 25%. Thermage treatment generally reaches its best effect 3-6 months after treatment, and the duration of the effect depends on personal constitution, skin condition, and skin care methods, and can generally last for 1-2 years.

If you have money, go for the fifth generation; if you want to save some money, go for the fourth generation. As the old saying goes, being expensive has its advantages, especially for medical supplies.

Let’s look at the difference first: the effect of the fourth-generation Thermage is similar to that of the fifth-generation. The comfort level of the fourth-generation Thermage is worse than that of the fifth-generation. However, many of the fourth-generation Thermage heads are reused! Do you understand? When the fifth-generation Thermage heads are first released, they are generally new and cannot be recharged and reused. Many problems with Thermage are caused by these heads. The energy of the recharged and recycled heads is unstable.

Preparation before Thermage

I didn't prepare anything in particular. I didn't drink coffee that morning because I found that I was not very sensitive to external numbing when I had my teeth cleaned and my eyebrows trimmed. Of course, basic common sense is essential: avoid spicy and sour foods after surgery, and try to avoid irritating foods such as beef, mutton, shrimp and crab. Also try to avoid alcohol. If you really can't avoid social occasions, whiskey and white wine are the first choice, and beer and red wine are definitely not.

Things to note when recovering from Thermage surgery

1. Do not use cooling treatments on the same day, such as ice compresses, cold showers, or swimming.

2. Avoid high-temperature and strenuous exercise within one week, such as sauna, hot yoga, running, etc.

3. Stop using whitening products or any fruit acids.

4. Keep good habits. Within three months after the treatment, take 13 grams of tissue nutrition acme tea once in the morning and evening. After 3 to 6 months, the dosage depends on the skin recovery situation, once a day. Ordinary collagen is not enough and it cannot achieve the repair effect without repair factors.

5. After 24 hours, apply a facial mask every other day.

6. In addition to adequate sun protection, use cleaning products with caution.
