Are there any risks or complications with thermacool?

Sure, anytime you muck around with heat and skin, bad things can happen. There have been reports of burns, blisters, skin discoloration and scars. Some of these are permanent.

Does thermacool work in everyone?

Definitely not. The cosmetic physicians have hyped up this treatment but there are reports that it does diddlysquat in many patients. There are many anecdotal reports from patients that the treatment does nothing. there is no way of way of telling ahead of time who will respond and who won't. But you still have to pay the full amount for the treatment. Sorry, there are no refunds.

Is thermacool covered by insurance?

No, thermacool is a cosmetic procedure and neither Medicare nor any health insurance company covers the cost.

What is cost of thermacool?

Thermacool is not cheap. A single session may cost anywhere from $700-$4,000. Do not worry, doctors are great at arranging financial payment plans for you (Some of them even have their own banks!)

Final point

Thermacool is just another fancy cosmetic skin care treatment with a lot of hype. For the consumer who desperately wants to get rid of their wrinkles, try Botox because it definitely works. Thermacool is expensive, painful and often fails to work.

All consumers should be realistic and start to read about cosmetic procedures. All of cosmetic surgery is about money- your money. So be informed, ask questions, and talk to people. Thermacool can cost upwards of $2,000 and more and you will not get your money back if it does not work.

Since you are paying for the treatment, take your time in selecting the best treatment. A few months of having wrinkles will not kill you- so be informed and get to know what works and what does not. At the present, it is hard to recommend thermacool, not because it is very expensive but because it lacks frank patient testimonials and does not always work.
