ThermiTight®

Nonsurgical Skin Tightening
Imagine turning back the hands of time and reclaiming tighter, smoother skin on your face and neck — all without going under the knife. Say hello to ThermiTight®, a cutting-edge treatment that brings the magic of skin tightening to you without the need for surgery. ThermiTight addresses lost skin elasticity and firmness so you can embrace your beauty at any age.

How Does ThermiTight® Work?

ThermiTight is a minimally invasive treatment that uses controlled radiofrequency (RF) energy to methodically heat the deep layers of your skin. The heat stimulates collagen production to tighten your skin and give you a smoother, more youthful appearance.

What Does ThermiTight® Treat?

ThermiTight is designed to treat loose or sagging skin that contributes to the following signs of aging:

Drooping or sunken cheeks
Deep lines from the sides of the nose to the corners of the mouth (nasolabial folds)
Vertical lines that extend downward from the corners of the mouth (marionette lines)
Sagging tissues along the jawline (jowls)
Loose, wrinkled skin on the neck (turkey neck)

Who Are Good Candidates for ThermiTight®?

Good candidates for ThermiTight are individuals who:

Have mild to moderate skin laxity
Are in good overall health
Have realistic expectations about their treatment outcome
Are not pregnant or breastfeeding
Do not have an active skin infection in the treatment area
Do not have an active sickness or fever

How to Prepare for ThermiTight® Treatment

To ensure you get the best results from your ThermiTight treatment, follow these simple steps to prepare:

Schedule your consultation with Chattahoochee Plastic Surgery to discuss your goals and concerns and make sure you’re a good candidate for ThermiTight.
Inform your provider of any medications or supplements you are taking, as some may need to be adjusted or discontinued temporarily.
Avoid sun exposure and tanning beds for at least two weeks before the procedure.
Stop using retinoids, glycolic acid and other potentially irritating products one week before treatment.

What to Expect During Your ThermiTight® Procedure

During your ThermiTight procedure, you can expect the following process, which will take about 45 minutes to an hour:

Your treatment area will be cleansed and numbed using a local anesthetic.
A small probe will be inserted beneath the surface of your skin to deliver radiofrequency energy to the targeted tissues.
The radiofrequency energy will heat your targeted tissues, stimulating collagen production that will tighten your skin.
The probe will be removed, and your treatment area will be cleaned and bandaged.

How Many ThermiTight® Treatments Will I Need?

For most patients, a single ThermiTight treatment is sufficient to achieve noticeable improvements in skin firmness and tightness. However, each person’s skin condition and treatment goals are unique, and some patients may benefit from having a subsequent ThermiTight treatment.

What to Expect During ThermiTight® Recovery

Immediately After Your Procedure

ThermiTight is an outpatient procedure, which means you will be able to go home shortly after the treatment is completed. Immediately following your procedure, you can expect mild swelling, redness and tenderness in the treated area. These side effects of ThermiTight are temporary and typically subside within a few days.

Will I Need Downtime After ThermiTight®?

One of the key benefits of ThermiTight is the minimal downtime required for recovery. Most patients can resume their daily activities within 24 hours of their procedure. It’s crucial to listen to your body and avoid strenuous activities, such as intense workouts and heavy lifting, for at least a week or as advised by your plastic surgeon.

Post-treatment Care

Keep the treated area clean and dry after ThermiTight. Follow any specific instructions from your plastic surgeon, which may include cleansing the area with a mild soap, applying a topical ointment and wearing a compression garment.

When Will I See Results From ThermiTight®?

With ThermiTight, you can expect noticeable results within a few weeks of the procedure. Your skin will continue to tighten and improve over the next three to six months as your body produces new collagen fibers.

How Long Do ThermiTight® Results Last?

ThermiTight stimulates collagen production, which helps maintain your skin’s firmness and elasticity for long-lasting results. Many patients have noticeably smoother, tighter skin that gives them a more youthful facial appearance for several years. However, your individual experience may vary based on your skin type, age and lifestyle. You can help extend the results of ThermiTight by adopting healthy habits and considering maintenance treatments as needed.

Factors that can positively influence the longevity of your ThermiTight® results include:

Eating a balanced diet rich in antioxidants and nutrients
Drinking plenty of water to keep your skin hydrated
Exercising regularly to maintain muscle tone and overall health
Protecting your skin from sun damage by using sunscreen and avoiding excessive sun exposure

Conversely, factors such as smoking, excessive alcohol consumption and poor diet can contribute to a more rapid decline in your treatment results.

Maintenance Treatments

While ThermiTight results are long lasting, they are not permanent. To maintain your youthful appearance, you may choose to undergo maintenance treatments every few years. Touch-up treatments can help counteract the natural aging process and keep your skin looking firm and smooth.

Is ThermiTight® Safe?

ThermiTight is considered a safe and effective treatment for addressing various age-related concerns, thanks to its minimally invasive nature and advanced technology. One of the primary safety features of ThermiTight is its Thermal Image Guidance™, a sophisticated system that monitors external skin temperatures in real time during the procedure. This allows your surgeon to deliver the radiofrequency energy precisely and safely to your target area, minimizing the risk of damage to the surrounding tissues and skin.

How Much Does ThermiTight® Cost?

The cost of ThermiTight can vary based on the size of your treatment area, the expertise and geographic location of your provider, and other individual factors. After your personalized consultation, we will be able to provide you with the specific cost of your ThermiTight treatment.
