laser or ThermaCool for loose skin

I've seen ads from several local plastic surgeons and dermatologists who advertise skin tightening lasers or ThermaCool. I've looked at some before and after pictures, and while I don't see any before pictures with excessive loose skin, the images of mildly loose skin look to be improved. The link is to an example of a local doctors mailing, but I've seen several similar ads lately.  http://www.communityvaluesmagazine.com/coupon.asp
I usually think of snake oil when I hear such claims, but I'm wondering if anyone has tried this laser therapy, and if so, what were the results? I appreciate any information, thanks!

I've wondered about that myself, don't have any info though. How are you doing?

Having a few down days after a few decent weeks. I have an appointment Monday to see if I'm getting hernia in an incision, but I'm not throwing up anymore. Your date is close to mine - how is your RNY treating you? I lost about 30 lbs and have been at a plateau for a week, which is really bumming me out. How much have you lost? Deanne

I'm down 28 lbs right now and I have started throwing up.  LOL  I really think it might be a stage people go through. Don't worry about about the plateau, everybody gets em its the body having a small freak out this early in the game.  I had one last week, I really think it was because I was so sick and not eating. As far as hernia's go I don't know what to tell you besides it can make getting a tummy tuck a lot easier.

Deanne, I haven't heard any personal stories about it either and am very interested.  I scar badly but would LOVE to have my turkey wattle fixed someday...that procedure sounds perfect if it actually works.  Hope you get some positive replies! Molly
