Have you noticed more lines and wrinkles on your skin? Unfortunately, natural aging doesn’t have a pause button. However, these and other effects of age can be mitigated by treatments like ThermiSmooth®. This device uses radiofrequency technology to stimulate collagen and elastin production, healing your body over time. If you’re tired of loose skin, schedule an appointment at McLean & Potomac Dermatology to learn more today.
How Does ThermiSmooth® Work?
ThermiSmooth® is performed using a specially designed temperature-controlled handpiece. The handpiece gently heats the skin’s surface using radiofrequency technology to stimulate the production of collagen and elastic fibers, which may give the appearance of smoothing or wrinkle reduction.
What Does ThermiSmooth® Treat?
ThermiSmooth® lifts the eye and mouth areas by stimulating collagen and tightening the skin around it. This is both a preventative treatment and an actual treatment for reducing fine lines and wrinkles.
What to Expect
ThermiSmooth® is a gentle and non-invasive therapy and has no downtime. It requires a series of 3-6 applications, scheduled 1-3 weeks apart for the best results. Slight discomfort may be experienced while undergoing treatment. Typically the discomfort is mild and temporary during the procedure and localized within the treatment area. During the treatment, you should feel warmth at the treatment site. Treatment time is approximately 30 minutes.
Treatment Results
You may experience the warmth and a mild pink to red appearance of the skin that usually dissipates in about 30 minutes post-treatment. Mild swelling and bruising may occur within 2-24 hours. Diligent protection from sun exposure and the application of sunscreen after treatment will minimize pigmentation changes. Post-treatment care guidelines will be provided following treatment. Please schedule your follow-up appointment or further treatments with the office.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does the ThermiSmooth® technology work?
ThermiSmooth® is a non-invasive skin tightening treatment designed to counter the signs of aging. It uses a specialized, temperature-controlled handpiece to deliver targeted radiofrequency energy to the skin’s surface. This gentle heating stimulates the natural production of fresh collagen and elastic fibers, effectively rebuilding the skin’s internal support system.
What specific facial areas does it treat, and is the procedure painful?
This treatment is highly effective for lifting, firming, and smoothing the delicate skin around the eyes and mouth. The procedure is gentle, with most patients experiencing only a warm sensation at the site. Any minor discomfort is mild, temporary, and strictly localized to the immediate treatment area.
What is the recommended treatment regimen, and is there any downtime?
A typical session takes approximately 30 minutes and requires absolutely no downtime, allowing an immediate return to normal activities. For optimal wrinkle reduction, a series of 3 to 6 applications spaced 1 to 3 weeks apart is recommended. Post-treatment redness or mild swelling usually dissipates within hours.
How does ThermiSmooth® differ from Morpheus8® and QuantumRF®?
ThermiSmooth® is one of our most beloved skin tightening treatments at McLean & Potomac Dermatology. We selected it for our practice because it uses gentle, controlled radiofrequency energy applied to the surface of the skin, encouraging your own collagen production over a series of comfortable sessions. There are no needles, no incisions, and no downtime, so you can return to your day right away. Because the energy works at the surface, your treatment also preserves the natural fat that gives your face its youthful contour, an important consideration as we age. Your provider will discuss whether ThermiSmooth® is the right fit for your skin and your goals during your consultation.
