ThermiTight® in Norcross, GA

ThermiTight is a cutting-edge treatment at Gynecology and Cosmetic Surgery Center of Atlanta that addresses signs of aging on the body without surgery. As a minimally invasive procedure, ThermiTight delivers controlled radiofrequency (RF) energy deep into the subdermal tissue layers to remodel collagen and produce smoother, tighter skin. The treatment is ideal for all skin types and can be used to target wrinkles and sagging on the face, neck, breasts, abdomen, thighs, and arms. As an added benefit, ThermiTight involves very little downtime when compared to surgical procedures, like liposuction. During an appointment near Norcross, GA, Dr. Gerry Sotomayor can assess your skin and create a customized treatment plan for your goals.

ThermiTight may be an excellent treatment option if you have loose, sagging skin and are not eligible for more invasive aesthetic procedures or plastic surgery. This treatment can be performed on a number of regions of the body and face to address lax skin. The best candidates for this minimally invasive skin tightening solution:

• Have dynamic wrinkles on their body or face

ThermiTight is an outpatient procedure performed at our Norcross, GA office. After placing a small amount of anesthetic solution into the treatment area, Dr. Sotomayor will place a thin probe into the targeted region and use gentle motions to heat up the tissues beneath the skin. ThermiTight employs state-of-the-art RF technology that maintains a consistent temperature during the treatment. By heating the deep layers, the RF device helps to promote collagen production, which creates smoother, tighter skin. The treatment itself takes about an hour.

You may experience minor redness, swelling, or bruising that usually subsides within 48 – 72 hours. After a ThermiTight treatment, you'll be able to return to your normal routine; however, it is recommended that you wait at least a day to resume exercise programs. Some patients may see ThermiTight results almost immediately after treatment, but typically, more noticeable results can be seen within the next 3 – 4 weeks with continued improvements over the next six months or so for tighter, firmer, and younger-looking skin. Most patients can expect their ThermiTight results to be long-lasting, with many enjoying improvements for about two years or longer (up to four years) before a touch-up treatment may be recommended.

How long do ThermiTight results last?
Most patients can expect their ThermiTight results to last up to four years before a maintenance procedure may be recommended. With a healthy diet, regular exercise, and healthy living habits, patients can better maintain and prolong their results.

Does a ThermiTight treatment hurt?
No, most patients don’t experience pain during a ThermiTight treatment since we will numb the treatment area with a local anesthetic before we begin. Some patients may experience minor discomfort, but most find it very tolerable and don’t consider it painful.

How soon do you see results?
Some patients may see almost immediate results after a ThermiTight treatment. Most patients can expect to see improving results over 3 – 6 weeks, with optimal results usually reached in about 6 – 8 months.

What body areas can ThermiTight treat?
ThermiTight treatments can improve the appearance of the face, neck, abdomen, flanks, upper arms, thighs, knees, and back.

How long does a ThermiTight treatment take?
Most procedures can be completed in about 1 – 3 hours, depending on the body area and size of the treatment area.
