WHAT IS THERMITIGHT?
Developing early signs of aging can make us frustrated. Are you noticing loose skin along the jawline and neck or even saggy skin on other parts of the body? Different factors like hormonal changes, sun exposure, changes in weight, and even our genetics can be a cause, and fighting the aging battle can always feel like a losing one. Luckily, with advanced technology, there are treatments that are designed to help improve skin laxity and pockets of fatty tissue. It’s a minimally invasive alternative for skin tightening and body contouring called ThermiTight.
WHAT TECHNOLOGY IS USED FOR THERMITIGHT?
ThermiTight is formally described as “thermistor-controlled subdermal skin tightening,” which basically means that regulated heat is targeted at the collagen layer of the skin using radiofrequency energy. To get under the skin, the ThermiRF™ system is used along with a tiny probe, called the SmartTip™ thermistor probe, which is inserted just below the surface.
Dr. Dima delivers radiofrequency energy into the area through gentle movements, which heats the subdermal tissue to a specific internal temperature. She uses the thermal image guidance to monitor external temperatures and ensure the safety of the skin. Most procedures last less than an hour and are followed up with a gentle wrap. As for downtime post-ThermiTight treatment, you should be able to resume normal activities as early as the next day.
IS THERMITIGHT RIGHT FOR ME?
In just 3 - 5 weeks, you will start to notice an overall improvement in the look of your treated areas that will last up to 5 years or more! ThermiTight is great for individuals who have moderate skin laxity and want results without invasive surgery or downtime.
ThermiTight can reverse the signs of aging in areas including:
- Neck
- Chin and jowls (double chin)
- Upper arms
- Breasts
- Abdomen
- Back
- Love handles
- Thighs
- Knees
HOW MANY THERMITIGHT TREATMENTS WILL I NEED?
The ThermiTight procedure typically only requires a single treatment and is done in the office under local anesthesia. However, a repeat treatment can be performed after 6 months if desired, as this is when maximum results are visible.
HOW MUCH DOES THERMITIGHT COST?
The cost of ThermiTight treatments starts at $3,500. There are a variety of factors that determine overall price. To ensure that your ThermiTight procedure is affordable, we accept a variety of payment methods including special financing plans.
WHAT CAN I EXPECT BEFORE AND AFTER THERMITIGHT™ TREATMENT?
A week prior to your ThermiTight treatment:
- Ensure that your body is hydrated. Drink at least 8 ounces of water every day for 1 week prior to your treatment.
- In case you already had other cosmetic procedures done on the targeted area, avoid undergoing ThermiTight treatment for at least 1 month.
- Avoid consuming alcohol at least 48 hours prior to your session.
- Stop using exfoliating skin care products including those that contain retinoids, AHAs, BHAs, or other active ingredients.
- Ensure that you discuss all your currently used medications and supplements with Dr. Dima.
Immediately after a treatment:
- Rest for at least 12 hours.
- Do not undertake any strenuous activity for the next 2 - 3 days.
- If you are experiencing soreness or swelling, apply ice to the treated area.
- You may experience drainage. Change the dressing every 4 - 6 hours. The drainage usually lasts for 24 hours - 72 hours post-treatment.
- Stay hydrated and follow a healthy routine to get the maximum results from your procedure.
IS THERMITIGHT SAFE?
ThermiTight is an FDA-approved technology that delivers exceptional results without undergoing major surgery. The ThermiTight procedure is minimally invasive, requires only local anesthesia, and poses little to no downtime.
TESTIMONIALS
I absolutely love love love my results from my skin tightening procedures. I moved here a few months ago and I was looking for maintenance treatments, not only for my face but for my body as well. I wanted to start early and be finished before summer so that I felt comfortable wearing a bikini since I’ve packed on a few pandemic pounds. I feel so confident now in the way I look thanks to Dr. Dima and her team. She came highly recommend from a close friend whom I trust, and she was right...Dr. Dima is top notch!
