The Vertebral Column. The vertebral column (spine) is made up of 33 different bones, called vertebrae. The first 24 vertebrae are called articulating and the last 9 are called fused.. In addition to the distrinction between articulating and fused, vertebrae are divided into five different categories.
Skin Tightening Cost. Typical costs: Skin tightening treatments using radiofrequency (RF), infrared light (IR) or a combination-- for example, Thermage, ReFirme and Titan -- typically cost $1,000 to $4,000 for one to five treatments.
Skin tightening machines are only as good as the operator. In my experience the best result that non surgical or non invasive skin tightening can achieve is 20% compared to that achieved by a surgical lift. There is no best machine. Laser resurfacing was the first nonsurgical skin tightening technique used.
