What Is Botched Thermage?

  • Common concerns: facial hollowing, asymmetry, excessive tightening, tenderness, or limited improvement
  • Possible causes: inappropriate energy settings, uneven energy distribution, treatment area, or individual response
  • Key approach: assess the treated tissue + treatment settings + facial structure
  • Result: appropriate recovery, monitoring, or corrective treatment when necessary
