ThermiTight® uses controlled, subdermal tissue heating to tighten the skin without invasive surgery or an extended recovery time. With just one treatment at our Ottawa, ON, office, you can achieve dramatic results. Dr. James Lacey offers this skin tightening treatment as a minimally invasive, affordable, and convenient alternative to plastic surgery.
What Treatment Areas can ThermiTight Address?
ThermiTight is a great non-surgical and minimally invasive treatment to address loose, sagging skin in many areas of the body. This treatment is appropriate for men and women of all ages and is safe for all skin types and tones. ThermiTight can address loose skin in common problem areas such as the:
- Neck
- Breasts
- Abdomen
- Thighs
- Arms
- Knees
How Does it Work?
Radiofrequency is used to heat the dermal layer of the skin. This heat stimulates collagen production which, in turn, tightens the skin. To access this layer, the system uses a tiny probe. Dr. James Lacey has complete control over the temperature and will heat the subdermal tissues to a predetermined temperature.
What is the Treatment Process Like?
Prior to beginning the process, Dr. James Lacey will inject an anesthetic into the treatment area. This will ensure you experience as little discomfort as possible. After setting the temperature for the ThermiTight system, he can insert the probe into the dermal layer of the skin. The probe transmits the radiofrequency energy to heat this layer and stimulate collagen production. Dr. James Lacey monitors your skin temperature throughout the process to ensure your safety during the entire treatment.
If you want to tighten loose and sagging skin without undergoing extensive plastic surgery, you may want to consider a minimally invasive option like ThermiTight.
Treatment lengths vary depending on the area you are addressing. The process could take up to an hour or more to complete. Following the treatment, a wrap will be applied to cool the treatment area. The downtime is manageable, and most patients resume their normal activities within a day. Although you could notice immediate improvements in your skin tone, it may take several months before your results are fully realized.
What are the Benefits Compared to Surgery?
Unlike invasive surgical procedures that require extensive recovery time, ThermiTight recovery takes only one day. With just one application, you could enjoy dramatic results. Because the collagen is stimulated subdermally, this minimally invasive procedure can produce long-lasting results. Compared with surgery, ThermiTight is also a much more affordable treatment option, and it does not require taking extensive time off work.
