PATIENT QUESTION
How many Thermage shots do I need?
SHORT ANSWER
A full face typically uses about 600 Thermage FLX shots; face plus neck or eyes may use 900 or more. Smaller areas use 300. The right number depends on face size and laxity.

The detail
Each shot is counted by the single-use tip, so you can see the number on the device. Dr. Yang concentrates passes where laxity is greatest.
