ThermiTight RF Skin Tightening

The Science Behind ThermiTight RF Skin Tightening

ThermiTight is a non-surgical, minimally invasive RF treatment for tightening sagging & loose skin virtually anywhere on the face or body. While it’s primarily used to tighten sagging skin on the face, neck and “jowls”, it is also highly effective for tightening skin on the back, arms, abdomen, buttocks, knees and thighs.

In this article, the skin care experts at Advanced Laser Skin Care & Spa in the Mt. Clemens area talk about the benefits of the ThermiTight RF Skin Tightening treatment.

ThermiTight RF: Helping Skin Tighten Itself

Scientists have studied what happens to the skin when an injury occurs.  During the healing process, after an injury occurs, the skin that frequently regenerates is often tighter and smoother.  ThermiTight RF Skin Tightening uses the same technique to rejuvenate older, loose or lax skin into a more youthful appearance – by relying on the body’s own processes of cellular regeneration.

Let’s talk about collagen for a moment now.  One of the most important proteins in the human body is collagen.  During the youthful years, older collagen is absorbed and replaced by new collagen.  As the aging process continues, the natural fluctuation of collagen reverses, and more is absorbed but less is replaced.  This collagen loss is the cause of the skin thinning, and the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

ThermiTight skin tightening is a radiofrequency (RF) heat treatment that is used to reverse the collagen deterioration and rejuvenate the youthful appearance of patient’s skin.  ThermiTight skin tightening ‘turns back the clock” and renews the body’s natural production of collagen and elastin.

Collagen molecules have a helical shape like that of a spring or spiral.  When heat is applied to collagen the molecules can shorten.  ThermiTight uses RF heat to do just that, shorten the collagen.  The heat energy changes the structure of the collagen in the same manner that fried bacon shrivels when it is heated up – thus tightening and contracting the skin.

The ThermiTight RF Skin Tightening Procedure

The ThermiTight RF treatments emits radiofrequency energy to the skin’s deep subdermal tissue via a tiny probe just below the skin.  The probe is used to use heat to melt away the fatty tissue in the targeted area.  The RF heat is monitored by a remarkable infrared “camera”.  This allows the technician precise control, to shrink the skin back as close as possible to the patient’s underlying bone structure – while also stimulating collagen production to improve skin tone for a smoother appearance to the skin.

Patients will see a much smoother, more youthful appearance to the affected area after treatment with the ThermiTight RF.  As new collagen is produced, patients will continue to see improvement.

Why ThermiTight RF Skin Tightening is Unique

ThermiTight RF Skin Tightening more completely treats aging skin than older standard laser skin tightening treatments.  ThermiTight, using radiofrequency, goes deep into the dermis to treat the elements that will actually thicken, strengthen and tone the skin.   Older lasers are only useful to treat the shallow skin layers while the ThermiTight RF probe is able to penetrate much deeper.  Targeting the deeper layers will promote the cellular renewal and regeneration of the skin.

Unlike lasers, ThermiTight can also melt fat cells – which is frequently requested in many procedures involving the neck, chin and “jowls”.
