Thermi

ThermiSmooth Face is grounded in science. Clinical studies show that the collagen in skin will shrink when heated to a sustained temperatures in excess of 40°C. Further, it has been shown that when the skin is heated to this level, an inflammatory process is engaged which can stimulate fibroblasts to produce new collagen over a period of time. Therefore, the challenge is to deliver precise amounts of heat, without risking overheating the tissues and causing patient discomfort.

How It Works

After applying a small amount of coupling gel, the ThermiSmooth Face hand piece is applied to the skin’s surface. The ThermiRF™ system is set to a specific target temperature (i.e., 42°C – 45°C). The hand piece is gently moved in a sweeping or circular fashion while gradually heating up the skin surface. As the skin’s temperature rises to the targeted temperature, the ThermiRF computer automatically adjusts the energy output to ensure precision of heating. A small zone is treated for about 5 minutes to achieve the goal of sustained heating to the target tissues. Treatments are repeated several times to achieve the desired cosmetic result.

What is a Treatment Like?

The skin is thoroughly cleansed and prepared, followed by application of a unique topical gel to transmit the energy from the ThermiSmooth Face wand. Energy is applied and the patient experiences a mild, warming sensation – most find that the entire treatment is quite relaxing. Total treatment time averages 20 to 30 minutes, depending on the area. ThermiSmooth Face achieves the best results when performed in a series of four, every two weeks. You will immediately be able to resume normal activity. The procedure does not require anesthesia or sedation, but we offer topical anesthetic for your comfort. Patients can expect no downtime, minimal if any pain, and no significant bruising or swelling.

How It Works

ThermiTight is a painless, micro-invasive procedure, which usually takes less than one hour, with little or no downtime. A tiny probe is inserted under the skin. Then, radiofrequency energy is applied directly to the target tissues causing immediate shrinkage. Results are immediate and improve over time.

What’s the Downtime?

ThermiTight is a micro-invasive procedure performed using local anesthesia. Patients may experience slight swelling and redness and are usually able to return to normal activity within 24 hours.

How Long Does It Last?

The procedure is a single treatment solution which produces a three-dimensional improvement in the appearance of skin laxity, The effects have been shown to last several years.

Is It a Substitute For a Facelift?

ThermiTight is a non-surgical alternative to a facelift and/or neck lift, but at this time there is no equivalent non-surgical substitute for a facelift. The best treatment to correct loose jowls and a hanging neck is a facelift and neck lift surgery. ThermiTight is an in-between procedure performed on patients who may not yet be ready for a facelift or necklift or on patients who do not want to have a surgical procedure.

Reclaim your “pre-baby body” through a form of energy medicine that uses heat therapy delivered via radio frequency (RF) waves to promote collagen synthesis, shrinkage and tightening of female tissues.

In this non-invasive 30-45 minute procedure you can increase your sexual satisfaction as well as rid urinary leakage, orgasm dysfunction, prolapse, vaginal laxity, and/or vaginal dryness as a result of childbirth or a change in hormone status.

Vaginal Tightness

Tightening occurs at the vaginal opening and throughout the full course of the vagina. Women and their partners notice these changes immediately after their ThermiVa treatments.

Mild to Moderate Stress Incontinence/Over-Active Bladder

Reduce urinary leaking and urge. When Thermiva is used with pelvic floor physical therapy many women are able to avoid bladder surgeries like the mesh and sling.

Sexual or Orgasmic Dysfunction

Treatments may increase nerve sensitivity, stronger pelvic floor muscular contractions and the capability to achieve orgasms in a shorter period of time. Thermiva treatments to the clitoral and g-spot areas are very safe.

Labial Cosmetic Appearance

Tightens labial tissues and helps to reduce sagging, camel toe appearance and results in smoother and softer skin. Women also have more comfort in tight clothing such as bikinis, Jeans and Leotards and have less awareness.

Vaginal Dryness/Atrophic Vaginitis

Vaginal moisture both inside and out increases and helps soften and thicken the vulva-vaginal skin. These changes lead to less sexual pain and more sexual satisfaction.

Prolapse

The vulva-vaginal tissue tighten during ThermiVa treatments resulting in a tightening or pulling in of the prolapse organs. Research is showing an improvement in prolapse by as much as one grade reduction after ThermiVa therapy.
