I used to feel guilty about my monthly facials — at $300, they seemed so indulgent. But the UK's Daily Mail recently reported that Demi Moore spends over $150,000 a year on Thermage treatments to maintain her youthful appearance. Thermage uses radio frequencies, heating the inner layers of the skin to tighten and stimulate the formation of new collagen — and it seems like everyone, including Allure's top experts, have differing opinions on its effectiveness. So is it worth the cost?

Thermage is a non-invasive, incision-free pick-me-up which helps skin look and feel younger.

Thermage is a non-invasive, incision-free pick-me-up which helps skin look and feel younger. Radio frequency waves are applied to the skin through a painless machine that heats up collagen in the deep layers of the skin while cooling and protecting the surface layers. The procedure helps boost new collagen growth, smooth out wrinkles and tighten up facial contours.

One major benefit of Thermage is that there isn't a huge time commitment (30 minutes to two hours) and it doesn't require downtime after the procedure. It also continues to improve the texture of the skin after the treatment.
