THERMI®Tight is a revolutionary skin tightening technology designed to firm and lift sagging skin on the face, neck, arms, abdomen and other areas of the body. Over time, the natural aging process, environmental factors and weight fluctuations cause a loss of elasticity in the skin. THERMI®Tight is a non-surgical solution for loose skin that uses radio frequency energy to tighten and contour the face and body. It is micro-invasive and leaves no scars or stitches, making it a popular choice for patients who desire the youthful look of a facelift without the risks and downtime of such an invasive procedure. In fact, THERMI®Tight requires no downtime at all.

Procedure

All THERMI®Tight procedures performed at our office are administered by a board-certified physician. To start, we cleanse the treatment area and numb the skin with a local anesthetic. We then place a thin probe beneath the skin, through which radio frequency energy safely heats the dermal tissues. We continually monitor both the internal and surface temperature of the skin to ensure the safety and effectiveness of the procedure. At the targeted temperature, the RF energy stimulates collagen production and also causes the skin to contract and tighten.

Recovery and Results

There is very little downtime associated with THERMI®Tight. It is normal to experience some temporary numbness and swelling in the days immediately following treatment, though any discomfort is minimal and generally manageable with over the counter medications. Most patients can return to work or other normal activities immediately after a THERMI®Tight treatment.

The effects of THERMI®Tight will begin to appear within a few weeks, with results continuing to improve for up to a year or more after the procedure. Though the natural aging process will continue, the nature of the THERMI®Tight process changes the actual composition of treated tissues, essentially turning back time on your appearance and providing long-lasting results.

In most cases, only one THERMI®Tight treatment is necessary to achieve desired results. If additional tightening or lifting is desired, patients can undergo second and subsequent treatments in the future.

Risks

THERMI®Tight is safe for use on all skin types and nearly every area of the body. Since the procedure is micro-invasive and requires only a local anesthetic instead of sedation, it is safe for most people who are in good health. However, there is a risk of bruising – especially in people who take blood thinning medications.
