How Is the ThermiTight Procedure Performed?

ThermiTight is controlled subdermal tissue heating with radiofrequency energy. This minimally-invasive procedure tightens the skin by sending radiofrequency energy deep into the skin through a probe in targeted areas.

Patients are awake and the procedure is performed under local anesthesia. The tiny, specially-designed ThermiTight probe is inserted through small needle punctures, heating the underlying deep tissues without damaging the overlying skin layers.

Areas commonly treated with ThermiTight include:

  • Neck and lower face

  • Breasts

  • Arms

  • Back

  • Abdomen

  • Knees

  • Thighs

What Is ThermiTight?

Our plastic surgeons perform ThermiTight in Memphis using a tiny probe to heat below the surface of the skin in the treatment area with radiofrequency energy. This painless treatment promotes natural collagen growth to make the skin in the treated area more supple, smooth, and tight.

FAQ’S

  • Most patients have little to no discomfort after ThermiTight treatment. Any discomfort can be controlled with over-the-counter medications. Depending on skin laxity and the areas treated, there may be some swelling that lasts for three to seven days after the procedure.

  • Instead of delivering radiofrequency energy through the skin, ThermiTight uses cutting-edge technology to bypass the outer layers of skin and deliver the energy to the deeper layers. This allows for optimal heating of deep tissues without damaging the overlying skin. Controlled heating of the deep tissues stimulates collagen production with results that continue to improve over time.

  • ThermiTight works by heating the deep tissues under the surface of the skin to stimulate collagen production and natural skin tightening. Most patients will see results within 30 days after the procedure, although results continue to improve as the weeks pass, and the tissue and skin regenerates. Typically, results are mostly apparent within approximately three months after treatment, but they may continue to improve for even longer.

  • ThermiTight produces long-lasting results after only one treatment session. However, the aging process continues after the skin is firmed and tightened through this innovative treatment and can be repeated at some time in future years if needed
