How Does Thermismooth Work?
ThermiSmooth uses a temperature-controlled handpiece that delivers radiofrequency (RF) energy, heating deep tissue and causing it to contract, eliciting an inflammatory response that stimulates cells to produce new collagen—increased collagen production results in improved skin elasticity and a taut and firm appearance over time.
The Procedure
Treatments are generally quick, taking approximately 30 minutes to complete. The treatment itself is gentle, with many patients likening it to a hot stone massage.
Each treatment session lasts around 30 minutes, with the time varying slightly based on the areas being treated, your current condition and your ultimate goals. During your consultation, we’ll discuss your recommended treatment series. It’s best to have all of them completed within six to eight weeks for optimized results.
ThermiSmooth’s unique system monitors the temperature of your skin’s surface for ultimate effectiveness, safety and comfort.
During the ThermiSmooth procedure, a gel is applied to the treatment area to ensure the safe conduction of heat. Most patients describe the sensation as a warm massage, making anesthetics unnecessary. The provider gently rolls the handpiece over the desired area in circular motions, transmitting RF energy to the targeted tissue underlying the skin. Thermal imaging guides the provider throughout the procedure. The Thermi system continuously monitors the RF energy and skin temperature, ensuring that the tissue and skin in the treatment area always remain at a safe temperature.
Following the procedure, the body responds by producing collagen, resulting in firmer, tighter skin over time. Optimal results typically require three to six sessions spaced two to four weeks apart. No downtime is associated with ThermiSmooth; most patients can resume their regular activities immediately. Normal aging necessitates maintenance treatment every year.
Recovery
There’s no downtime associated with ThermiSmooth; patients may immediately resume their regular activities. You may notice improvements in three to six months, and as collagen production increases, those improvements can continue for up to one year. Normal aging necessitates maintenance treatment every year.
Most people report zero discomforts following treatments and return to regular activities immediately. Some people may experience slight redness or superficial swelling, but these effects typically disappear within 24 hours.
Most patients do not experience any recovery time after undergoing the ThermiSmooth Face procedure and can resume their daily activities immediately after. Although some people may experience slight redness or superficial swelling, these effects generally disappear within 24 hours.
Results
Visible changes can occur immediately after the treatment. However, it typically takes three to six months and up to 10 months before complete results are seen, depending on the patient’s treatment program and goals. The benefits of ThermiSmooth can last for a year or more, with regular maintenance treatments recommended by providers to prolong the results.
Visible improvements can often be seen after the first treatment, with optimal results typically achieved after three sessions. The gradual process of collagenesis, the production and strengthening of collagen in the skin, means that skin tightening and smoothing changes become more apparent over time. Full results are achieved within three to six months and can last up to a year or longer, with single maintenance treatments recommended every nine to twelve months.
