SP or academic? If the same for each both are realy similar so I'd base it on commute or other things in terms of convenience.

I work for a plastic surgeon so I'm familiar with Thermage and Ulthera, and actually tried Ulthera. It didn't do anything for me (although I really didn't need it) and it was really painful. We're not offering it any longer, it wasn't effective. Thermage is really good though for sagging skin and it's been improved recently so that it's not painful. [ Reply | More ]

apply broadly; play dates are most important. don't schedule 2 play dates in one day. make sure your dc is well rested, fed, and happy on play date. prep for ERB; don't listen to people who say they didn't prep.
