For a very long time, skin tightening could only be achieved through surgical means. Then, minimally invasive treatments began to appear that offered smaller incisions and shorter downtime than full surgery. Today, we have IFine and ThermiSmooth, two strong radiofrequency devices that offer impressive tightening, without surgery, downtime, needles, or anesthesia.
ThermiSmooth Quick Facts
- ThermiSmooth is an FDA-cleared procedure
- Radiofrequency concentrated below the skin to induce collagen rebuild
- Results build naturally over time and last at least 3 years in clinical studies
- Rebuild the collagen structure of the skin to lift, tighten, tone, and increase elasticity – repairing crepey skin, loose skin, sagging skin
ThermiSmooth Can Help Fight Against These Face and Neck Concerns
You will see ThermiSmooth advertised to treat many other areas of concern for the face and neck, including thinning neck skin, wrinkles on the cheeks and forehead, and brow sag. While ThermiSmooth can create some results for some patients in these areas, it is not our treatment of choice, because other technologies such as Sofwave, Ulthera, and even Thermage offer better results than ThermiSmooth for areas with heavier skin and deeper concerns, like muscle sagging, which does occur in the cheeks and down through the jawline and neck, with normal aging.
Upper Eyelid Droop
Typically becomes a concern during the mid-30s to late 40s in most patients.especially of the upper eyelid can be difficult to treat with nonsurgical means. ThermiSmooth for Eyes is really the only effective nonsurgical treatment for this concern.
Undereye Bags
Undereye bags can be caused by a host of underlying causes, from excess fat to loss of normal fat pads to skin and muscle laxity. When loose and too-thin skin is the cause of undereye concerns, ThermiSmooth is an ideal solution. Not only does ThermiSmooth help to improve skin tone, texture, and tightness, but a thicker skin, supported by a good collagen net below will lay smoother over the area.
Crow’s Feet and Fine Lines Around The Eye
Are most frequently caused by repeated facial expressions which damage the collagen support below the skin. ThermiSmooth is a great treatment to help rebuild that collagen, creating plumper, more elastic skin that is better-suited to withstand the wear and tear of smiles and squints. Genuine smiles are shown by the crow’s feet, but overdone Botox can freeze away the genuineness of your expressions, including your smile. While our doctors are very attuned to this risk and believe in using Botox to soften, not freeze, expressions. This concern for natural movement in the face has led many patients to rely on ThermiSmooth to erase fine lines and wrinkles, with a natural result that doesn’t dull the sparkle in their eyes.
ThermiSmooth – An Easy, Gentle Series of Skin Treatments
ThermiSmooth Radio-Frequency For Skin Tightening
ThermiSmooth is both noninvasive and nonsurgical. Nonsurgical means there is very minimized surgical cutting, stitching, or incisions involved. Noninvasive means there is no surgery, needles, or other entry through the skin made. With ThermiSmooth, there are no needles, no anesthesia or numbing, and there is no downtime from work or social activities. Most patients describe the ThermiSmooth treatment as feeling like a warm massage.
ThermiSmooth works by sending radio-frequency from multiple angles to converging points below the skin to heat the skin’s deepest layers, activating the building of new collagen support structures, for thicker, tighter, more elastic and smooth skin. Because ThermiSmooth works by activating your body’s natural processes, the results are not immediate. It usually takes 3-6 months for your body to build the new collagen. However, these results were shown to last at least 3 years in clinical studies.
ThermiSmooth is recommended to be performed in a series of 2 to 6 treatments spaced weeks apart for the most dramatic results. Each treatment takes under an hour to perform and is performed without anesthesia in our comfortable treatment rooms.
- Recovery & Downtime: Little to none
- Numbing: Not needed
- Cost: Schedule a consultation
- Candidates: Patients looking to smooth and tighten skin without surgery
- Duration: Up to 3 years
- Why We Love It: Relaxing, comfortable treatment sessions
