What Is ThermiSmooth®?
ThermiSmooth® is a breakthrough non-invasive procedure used to improve the appearance of aging skin while smoothing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. A hand-held device is used to deliver radiofrequency energy to the skin and produce targeted heating to the surface of the skin. This process stimulates collagen production. The gentle heating helps strengthen and thicken the skin to improve overall quality and appearance.
How Does ThermiSmooth Technology Work?
ThermiSmooth uses precise temperature control and real-time feedback to maintain optimal skin surface heat during treatment. The device automatically adjusts energy output to keep the skin within the ideal therapeutic range, reducing the risk of overheating. This controlled delivery allows for uniform collagen stimulation across the treatment area. The system’s built-in monitoring promotes more consistent results and a more comfortable treatment.
What Can ThermiSmooth Help Improve?
- Fine Lines Around the Eyes and Mouth: The delicate skin around the eyes and mouth is often the first area to show signs of aging. ThermiSmooth delivers gentle radiofrequency energy that gradually smooths these fine lines. It is especially helpful for softening crow’s feet and vertical lip lines, where repetitive motion and thinning skin contribute to visible wrinkles.
- Lax Skin on the Cheeks and Neck: ThermiSmooth can help tighten lax skin on the cheeks and along the jawline, as well as under the chin and on the neck. This treatment lifts the skin without surgery and improves facial contours.
- Texture Irregularities and Mild Sagging: Uneven skin texture and early skin laxity often go hand in hand. With consistent heat applied to the surface, ThermiSmooth encourages more uniform collagen distribution, which can improve how your skin feels and looks.
- Skin Laxity From Aging or Weight Changes: Natural aging and weight fluctuations can both contribute to skin that feels less firm than it once did. ThermiSmooth offers a non-invasive option for addressing this mild laxity.
Why Thermismooth Is Different
ThermiSmooth offers a non-ablative, non-invasive approach to face skin tightening by working beneath the skin’s surface without disrupting the outer layer. It is a suitable choice for patients who want gradual, visible improvements without peeling, redness, or downtime. The smooth handpiece glides gently over the skin and delivers warmth in a way many patients find relaxing, more like a warm massage than a clinical treatment.
Benefits of ThermiSmooth®
ThermiSmooth® can be used on the forehead, eyes, cheeks, mouth, and neck. It is mostly recommended for the gentle skin around the eyes and lips. It is an effective solution to renew collagen production and improve the appearance of aging skin. ThermiSmooth® is not a filler, and there are no needles. Rather, this advanced technology, by heating the surface of the skin, stimulates the body to produce more collagen.
Who Is a Good Candidate for ThermiSmooth?
If you would like to see improvement in the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles without any downtime, you may want to try ThermiSmooth®. Good candidates are overall healthy adults with signs of aging that they wish to treat. All skin types and tones stand to benefit from treatments.
What to Expect During Treatment
Before the treatment begins, we will cleanse your skin and apply a small amount of gel to help the ThermiSmooth handpiece glide over the skin. The device is gently moved over the treatment area with small, circular motions. Each pass delivers controlled radiofrequency energy while built-in sensors continuously monitor skin temperature to keep it within the therapeutic range.
The treatment is warm and relaxing rather than painful or uncomfortable. The feeling is similar to a warm stone facial. Treatment times vary depending on the area being treated, but most sessions last 20 to 40 minutes. There is no need for numbing, downtime, or recovery afterward, and you can return to normal activities right away.
For best results, ThermiSmooth is typically performed as a series of treatments spaced about one to two weeks apart. After completing the recommended number of sessions, you may also choose to schedule maintenance treatments each year to help preserve your results.
What Are the Expected Results?
Results vary from patient to patient based on a number of factors. Most patients see some improvements in their skin texture after the first treatment. Typically, multiple treatments are needed to achieve the best results. Production of collagen in the skin is a slow, gradual process, and your skin texture should improve within a matter of weeks. Full results may be achieved in the results that follow.
Are There Any Specific Aftercare Instructions for ThermiSmooth?
After a ThermiSmooth treatment, it is a good idea to avoid applying heavy products or makeup to the treated area for the rest of the day. You can return to your normal routine right away, but keeping the skin clean and hydrated can support the best results. The best way to prevent further aging and encourage results is to avoid excessive sun exposure and apply broad-spectrum sunscreen daily. Some patients may notice mild redness or warmth in the area after the treatment, which usually fades within a few hours. Gentle skincare and regular moisturizing can help maintain the skin’s improved texture between sessions.
FAQs About ThermiSmooth
How Many ThermiSmooth Treatments Should I Schedule?
Most patients begin with a series of three to six sessions, spaced one to two weeks apart. This schedule allows us to gradually build collagen while monitoring how your skin responds. We will assess your skin during consultation and adjust the plan as needed based on your goals and tissue response.
Can I Get ThermiSmooth If I’ve Had Other Treatments?
Different treatments can often be combined to target various signs of aging, such as sagging, hyperpigmentation, sun damage, and volume loss. The right combination of anti-aging treatments will depend on your preferences and our recommendations following a detailed consultation. Treatments that may be part of your treatment plan include dermal fillers, laser resurfacing, chemical peels, and more. We will review your treatment history and create a plan that provides the most benefits to you.
Will My Skin Look Different Right After Treatment?
Radiofrequency energy can provide some initial skin tightening as it heats and contracts the existing collagen fibers in the skin. However, the full results of the treatment come from the gradual increase in new collagen, which will occur in the weeks and months that follow the treatment. You may also notice redness in the hours after your appointment, but with ThermiSmooth, there is no peeling, bruising, or flaking.
Can ThermiSmooth Be Used Preventatively?
ThermiSmooth can support skin tightening even before deep lines or sagging become noticeable. Stimulating collagen early can help slow the progression of visible aging and maintain skin firmness. Patients in their 30s and 40s may choose it as a way to preserve skin quality and extend the time before considering more intensive treatments. Preventative use may also enhance texture and skin health, particularly in delicate areas like the eyes and mouth.
