ThermiTight® is a treatment created to tighten both sagging and loose skin without the need for surgery. The procedure is effective, comfortable, and minimally-invasive. The treatment is an excellent option for eliminating invasive surgery and the associated risks. One of the best benefits of the procedure is that it is beneficial for most of the body including the thighs, abdomen, knees, breasts and neck. ThermiTight® is often used for the rejuvenation of aging facial skin with no discomfort or pain. This is effective for numerous issues including sagging skin on the jawline, brow wrinkles and laugh lines.
The neck often has pockets of fat creating excess bulk in both the neck and chin. The ThermiTight® procedure helps restore facial definition, increase the production of collagen and results in a more youthful appearance. The procedure can also be used in conjunction with liposuction to reshape the entire body. The actual procedure applies heat using a special technique to the subdermal skin layer.
The ThermiTight® Procedure
The treatment uses energy to effectively tighten the skin. The first step is the administration of a local anesthetic beneath the skin the ensure the individual remains comfortable while the procedure is being performed. The next step is the placement of a small probe under the skin in the targeted area. Radio-frequency energy is emitted by the probe to reach the sub-dermal tissues. This compacts the tissues and results in the tightening of the loose skin. The tissues shrink almost immediately.
A computer is nearby to monitor the amount of heat delivered beneath the skin. This makes certain the temperature is ideal for shrinking the tissue. The computer decreases or increases the temperature when necessary. The probe is removed from beneath the skin once the procedure has been completed. The best candidate for the procedure is almost any individual interested in improving loose or sagging skin without surgery.
The time necessary for the ThermiTight® treatment depends on the size of the targeted area. The procedure requires more time when there are larger areas of skin to be treated. The results appear approximately three to six weeks after the procedure. The improvement will continue for about nine months.
ThermiTight® offers a lot of benefits including decreasing cellulite, tightening the skin, and reducing fat. This is accomplished due to the thin electrode delivering the radio-frequency energy beneath the skin. The treatment also helps increase the production of collagen to provide results lasting for a lengthy period of time.
