How effective is Thermage for neck tightening?
I am in my seventies and have some loose skin on my neck. Could Thermage solve this problem, or is there a better alternative you could suggest?

If you are looking for nonsurgical solutions, Thermage® is a safe, non-invasive cosmetic procedure that helps smooth, tighten and contour skin for an overall younger looking appearance. It can be used to treat sagging skin, loose jowls, lack of definition in the jaw line, sagging neck skin (“turkey neck”), wrinkles and fine lines, and lack of definition in the lips. The treatment delivers natural looking results with little to no downtime —on all skin colors, on and off the face, all in a single procedure. Fast and easy, you can even come in during your lunch break and return to work after! Thermage® uses radiofrequency technology to heat the deep, collagen rich layers of your skin. The heat helps tighten existing collagen and stimulate the formation of new collagen, which reduces sagging, renews contours, and improves the smoothness and texture of the skin’s surface.

A neck lift would be the best option. The concern we have about radiofrequency devices like Thermage is that the benefits are subtle, patient selection makes all the difference and results are very temporary. If you are looking for significant lift that will last for years, then you should consider a surgical neck lift. Good luck.
