How much does Thermage cost?
Based on Abijou standards, Thermage pricing varies significantly by clinic depending on the number of shots (300–900 shots, etc.), treatment area, and tip type. Since the required number of shots differs for the full face versus areas like around the eyes, accurate costs are typically determined after consultation. Rather than simply comparing quotes from multiple clinics, it is advisable to also confirm the generation of tips used, anesthesia method, and whether aftercare is included.
