ThermiSmooth
What is ThermiSmooth?
Are you starting to look older than you really are? Are you bothered by loose, sagging skin and fine lines and wrinkles? If you’re ready to take control of the aging process and put your best face forward, we’ve got a solution for you. ThermiSmooth is a non-invasive radiofrequency treatment that can address a host of age-related skin problems. It can firm up sagging, crepey skin and smooth over fine lines and wrinkles: even the ones in the fragile areas around the lips and eyes.
Treatment & Results
Each treatment is tailored to your individual needs and will focus on the areas of your face where you’re most in need of firming and tightening. We’ll start by applying a gel that will help safely conduct heat. We’ll then rest a handheld device against the skin and sweep it across the treatment zone in gentle circles. It will take anywhere from 5 to 15 minutes to address each treatment area. The device will be delivering radiofrequency energy through your skin without penetrating the surface of your face.
There is no pain or discomfort associated with this treatment. There is also no need for anesthesia. The temperature of the treatment adjusts in accordance with the temperature of your skin, so you will never feel uncomfortably hot. Most patients describe the sensation as a warm, gentle massage. Depending on the area being treated, you’ll be seated or reclining comfortably. Most patients find the experience to be relaxing, and some even doze off during treatment.
Immediately after your treatment, you might notice some initial tightening. This will be because the heat associated with the treatment shrinks the collagen fibers in your skin. But collagen production in your skin will also kick into high gear, and your results will improve as you progress through your series of treatments. It may take up to six months for your full results to become clear. After a patient has undergone an initial round of treatments, we often suggest follow-up treatments every nine to twelve months to maintain results.
Post Care
Typically, you may return to your normal activities after the ThermiSmooth® treatment. You should follow the medical advice of your physician regarding the care of your skin.
- Wash skin with tepid water and a gentle cleanser.
- If skin is slightly pink or red in areas after treatment, avoid hot water.
- Washing or showering until any pink has subsided.
- Makeup (preferably mineral-based) may be applied immediately post treatment.
- Soothing, non-irritating creams or moisturizers may be used.
- Use a sun block with an SPF of 30 or greater if going out into the sun to help prevent future sun damage. This treatment does not cause photosensitivity
