As the demand for anti-aging solutions increases, consumers are looking for new and less invasive options to turn back time. Hence, cutting-edge options like ThermiSmooth and ThermiTight that address issues like skin laxity and wrinkles have become very popular. Let’s find out what is the difference between ThermiSmooth and ThermiTight.
ThermiRF
ThermiSmooth and ThermiTight are two of the anti-aging procedures available on the ThermiRF platform developed by Thermi Aesthetics. ThermiRF is a multi-application system that uses radio frequency (RF) energy to combat the signs of aging. It combines wrinkle reduction and skin tightening technologies to create an effective skin rejuvenation treatment.
The ThermiRF system is FDA approved for use in cosmetic enhancement procedures. The system is safe and comfortable and produces very impressive results. The ‘science of heat’ is what makes ThermiRF so effective, as the technology precisely heats soft tissues, ensuring you get the results you want. ThermiRF is suitable for all skin types.
ThermiSmooth
ThermiSmooth is a skin rejuvenation procedure that makes it softer and smoother without downtime. The warming action revives skin cells, creating a more youthful appearance. ThermiSmooth is commonly used to smooth fine lines and wrinkles around the eyes, and also to help reduce cellulite.
How does it work
The controlled RF energy gradually heats the deep layers of the skin, where it stimulates collagen and improves skin quality. The additional collagen provides the structural support that the skin needs to become stronger and firmer.
The handpiece moves through the treatment area in a circular motion, and the temperature can be adjusted according to the specific area being treated.
For best results, doctors usually recommend 4 to 6 ThermiSmooth treatments, approximately 2 weeks apart. Treatment time is 10 to 30 minutes on average, depending on the size of the area to be treated. Customers can resume their normal activities immediately afterwards.
What results can you expect?
Patients often notice a softening of the wrinkles after the first treatment, but a series of treatments will be needed to obtain the desired aesthetic result. Final results may take 3-6 months to show.
ThermiTight
If you’re not ready for a surgical face lift and neck lift yet, ThermiTight may be the right procedure to tighten those loose areas. ThermiTight corrects mild to moderate sagging and is especially beneficial for tightening the skin on the lower face, double chin and neck. It is the ideal solution for people who want to achieve firmer skin without surgery.
How does it work
ThermiTight tightens the skin using a small thermistor probe that is inserted through small incisions made in the treatment area. The probe heats the subdermal tissues (inner layer) under the skin, to a temperature selected by the user.
During the procedure, the system computer monitors and regulates internal temperatures to ensure that the procedure is safe and there are no burns. If the temperature is too high, the device will turn off automatically.
ThermiTight is an office procedure performed under local anesthesia. It only takes a 20 minute treatment to produce noticeable skin tightening results.
The protocol provides excellent results for people with mild skin laxity.
What results can you expect
You can expect to see some immediate results after the treatment session, but the skin will continue to contract for months to come.
What is the difference between ThermiSmooth and ThermiTight?
ThermiSmooth is designed to smooth out fine lines and wrinkles, especially those around the eyes and mouth. Treatment is performed using an external handpiece on the surface of the skin.
ThermiTight uses a probe that is inserted under the skin and is therefore a more aggressive treatment. It is designed to tighten the skin and can also help reduce fat deposits. It is very effective when used to tighten the double chin and neck.
ThermiTight is more effective for treating excess skin, while ThermiSmooth is more suitable for reducing the appearance of lines and wrinkles. Both procedures are suitable for people who do not wish to undergo facial rejuvenation surgical procedures.
