Thermi-Smooth RF

What is it?

ThermiSmooth® Face can be used to improve skin laxity in the forehead, brows, cheeks, or neck area. It is performed using a specially designed thermistor-regulated hand piece, which is applied to the skin’s surface. The controller is set to a specific target temperature. The hand piece is moved in a circular motion across the surface while it gently heats the skin targeting problem areas. This non-invasive treatment requires no anesthesia, no incisions, and no downtime!

The best way to know if you are a good candidate for ThermiSmooth is to receive a consultation from Dr. Wei. However, patients who meet the following criteria are typically great candidates for ThermiSmooth Face:

• Have moderate skin sagging on the face, jawline, and neck

• Want to reduce the appearance of jowls

• Bothered by fine lines around the eyes, mouth, and forehead

What kind of conditions does it treat?

ThermiSmooth® Face works best treating fine lines and wrinkles on areas such as your forehead, eyes, cheeks, mouth, and neck.

How is the treatment done?

ThermiSmooth® is performed by using radio frequency energy and a temperature-controlled hand piece. By using small, circular motions, your provider will gently roll the hand piece on the surface of your skin, while heating targeted tissues below your skin. Patients often say if feels like a warm massage.

Why do the procedure/benefits?

Why should you choose ThermiSmooth:

• No downtime

• No surgery

• For all skin types and tones

• Can address skin laxity in the face or body

• Gradual and long lasting

How long is recovery? What does it look like? (Bruising, swelling, etc.)

There is no recovery or downtime so patients can get right back to their regular routine, including exercise. In rare instances, patients might experience some minor redness and swelling, however, this should diminish very quickly.

How long does it take to see results? How often do you have to follow up?

While some patients can begin to experience results after just one treatment, three treatment sessions are typically recommended for optimal skin tightening. The collagen renewal process is a gradual one, revealing your results over the next several months. Full results can be expected after about 3-6 months and can last for up to a year or longer.
