ThermiTight® in Phoenix, AZ
Loose, sagging skin develops over time and can be a particularly troubling sign of aging for both women and men. While there are many treatments on the market to improve the quality of facial skin, most fall short when it comes to addressing other areas, including the neck and jowls.
Dr. Jennifer Boll is proud to offer ThermiTight® at her Phoenix, Arizona, practice as an effective, non-surgical skin tightening solution. The technology used with ThermiTight® is similar to ThermiSmooth® but goes further to deliver radiofrequency energy deep within the dermis, effectively stimulating collagen production and tightening skin.
Precise RF Targeting
Most radiofrequency devices are placed on top of the skin with the energy directed below.
With ThermiTight®, a tiny probe is placed under the skin to target the deep layers of skin and trigger a dramatic collagen response.
Versatility
Loose skin is a common issue that can affect several areas of the face and body. While most treatments were designed for the face and neck, ThermiTight® has the ability to tighten skin all over the body, including:
- Face and neck
- Upper arms
- Abdomen
- Thighs
- Knees
Long-Lasting Results
With only one treatment and practically no downtime, initial results will appear in about six weeks.
The skin will continue to improve for up to six months for a gradual but significant transformation that can last for years.
What to Know About ThermiTight®
Consultation
What Can I Expect at My ThermiTight® Consultation?
Dr. Boll will listen carefully to your concerns, examine the skin to be treated, and thoroughly explain the procedure, with this initial consultation usually taking about an hour.
Our consultation fee is $50 and is due when you schedule your visit. To keep the price this low, this fee is non-refundable but will be applied to the cost of your procedure.
Procedure
How Does ThermiTight® Work?
The ThermiTight® procedure does not take very long, with most sessions lasting less than an hour; however, this could be more, depending on the number of areas being treated.
After a local anesthetic is administered, a thin probe is inserted beneath the skin to precisely heat the deep layers of the dermis. While the probe heats the deep tissue, a specialized infrared camera monitors the temperature of your skin, making sure it stays in the optimal range between 50 to 65 degrees Celsius.
At this temperature range, collagen production in your skin is substantially increased. Collagen is part of the support structure of the skin, and new collagen production firms and tightens sagging skin. The results are firmer, tighter, more youthful skin.
Common Combinations
Can I Combine ThermiTight® With Other Procedures?
Some patients choose to address multiple concerns by combining their skin tightening treatment with other surgical or non-surgical procedures, such as:
- Liposuction (surgical fat reduction)
- Eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty)
- Dermal fillers for stubborn wrinkles and deep lines
Combine these and other treatments for a comprehensive and customized makeover!
What to Expect After ThermiTight® Treatment
What Is Recovery From ThermiTight® Like?
The side effects for ThermiTight® are very minimal, considering the excellent results the procedure offers.
Swelling and redness may occur, and the area may be sensitive following your treatment. Most patients feel great within three to five days and opt to return to work. Some patients experience swelling that lasts up to 10 days.
Will My ThermiTight® Treatment Leave Scars?
Treatment with ThermiTight® does not typically leave scars because there are no actual incisions, only tiny punctures for the needle to feed the ultra-thin probe beneath the skin.
If you opt to receive liposuction along with your ThermiTight® procedure, you can expect a two to three millimeter incision that should heal and be barely visible, if at all.
When Will I See My ThermiTight® Results?
Patients may experience some results immediately, with effects improving over a period of one to six months as new collagen in your skin is produced. While your skin will continue to age, your results should last for years.
Generally, ThermiTight® does not require multiple treatments, but depending on the individual and the target area, an additional treatment session may be recommended to achieve the best results.
Frequently Asked Questions About ThermiTight®
How much does ThermiTight® cost?
The cost of this procedure will depend on your location, the amount of skin being tightened, and the doctor’s expertise. You should receive an accurate quote during your consultation.
How many sessions of ThermiTight® will I need?
A surprising benefit of receiving treatment with ThermiTight® is that it only requires one session to achieve excellent results. Some other procedures that tighten skin require a strict regimen of up to six treatments.
How long does ThermiTight® last?
This treatment can last many years depending on your health and how you take care of your skin. If you keep your skin healthy by eating right, drinking plenty of water, and maintaining a stable weight, your results can last five years. However, if you smoke, expose yourself to the sun regularly, and lose a significant amount of weight, your results may only last two to three years.
How long does a ThermiTight® session take?
ThermiTight® sessions usually last for about an hour but can vary depending on the size and number of the areas being treated.
When will I see the final results with ThermiTight®?
Results from ThermiTight® skin tightening appear gradually. You may notice subtle results within a week and then see more impressive results as early as three months with continued improvement for up to six months. Taking a closeup photo every month for six months is recommended to see the results clearly.
Am I a good candidate for ThermiTight®?
Women and men between 18 and 65 are the best candidates for treatment with this device. Your heart and lungs should be in good health, but the overall medical requirements aren’t as strict as for more invasive surgical procedures.
You should also have realistic expectations about the treatment which treats loose but not excess skin.
You should not receive treatment with this device if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Avoid ThermiTight® if you have any metal in the area(s) to be treated.
