ThermiTight is an application of the ThermiAesthetics system that uses radiofrequency (RF) technology to rejuvenate the skin safely. RF energy has been used safely in medicine for more than 75 years to generate heat, and this procedure uses this technology to tighten tissue of the arms, back, neck, chest and face for non-surgical skin-tightening.

Which procedure is better for me, ThermiTight or ThermiSmooth?
ThermiSmooth is the least powerful option of the two as it does not require an incision but rather passes the energy over the surface of the skin to treat superficial lines and wrinkles.
How is RF skin tightening different than ultrasound or laser procedures?
Unlike ultrasound or laser technique, in which energy is placed on the surface of the skin and directed downward, RF energy stimulates the skin from within. This procedure is also more effective because it uses an internal probe to apply energy below the surface of the skin to directly target collagen. The continuous temperature monitor on the probe also ensures the precise and safe amount of heat required to tighten the skin is applied for better outcomes.
Are there any side effects of ThermiTight?
While there is no downtime associated with the procedure, you may experience a small amount of swelling or bruising. Side effects are unlikely due to built-in safety features of the system.
How long will results last?
Clinical research indicates the effects of the procedure last 1-2 years or more. Your results will depend on the initial amount of sun exposure, laxity, and your lifestyle.
How many treatments will I need?
For many patients, a single ThermiTight treatment is enough, although some patients require two treatments for the desired results.
