ThermiTight® procedures offer aesthetic, cosmetic and reconstructive benefits without surgery. ThermiTight® is a radiofrequency procedure that delivers gentle heat to a given area under the skin in order to melt fat, tighten loose or lax skin and connective tissue, and reduce the effects of aging. The tiny probe applied under the skin transmits radiofrequency heat and causes immediate shrinkage of the area. This procedure is perfect for patients wanting more results than what non-invasive procedures can offer without having to do surgery. Common areas of treatment include the neck, jowls, upper eyelid, under the eyes, arms, stomach, chest, buttocks, banana roll (below the buttocks), thighs, armpit and bra strap fat, knees and even the elbows. ThermiTight® treatments are almost pain free, safe, and micro-invasive with minimal downtime compared to other techniques. Each procedure takes less than 1 hour for each area treated. Upon completion, the patient will see immediate changes and continue to see results improve over time.

Procedure Process
THERMITight skin tightening uses controlled heat to target the subcutaneous tissues or dermis of the skin to help with collagen production and tightening of collagen. The doctor will use a machine, which generates the radiofrequency (RF) waves, and guides it under the marked areas. Tumescent solution is used to anesthetize the area treated. This treatment is most effective with skin irregularities such as wrinkles, stretch marks or cellulite on areas of the face, neck, tummy, arms, legs and buttocks.
What to Expect
A THERMITight skin treatment is comfortable for the patient due to the tumescent anesthesia under the skin. Some redness and swelling may appear on the treated area which will subside after a few days. Tightening sensations may be felt right immediately after the treatment, and will progress as the weeks pass to result in smoother and more supple skin. The positive effects of THERMITight can last for 2 years or longer. It is important for the patient to follow the post-treatment care prescribed by Dr. Marosan.
THermiTIght FAQs
Who Is It For?
Those who have skin irregularities, such as wrinkles, stretch marks or cellulite, and are looking for minimally invasive cosmetic treatments may be good candidates for a THERMITight skin rejuvenation treatment. Generally, it is a safe approach with no downtime and minimal risks. If the skin shows signs of laxity, it is understood that there is a significant loss of collagen or fat tissues which help keep the skin tight. THERMITight rejuvenation helps reproduce these substances to bring back the skin’s youthful composition.
Long-Term Outcome?
The results may be long term since the treatment is not superficially limited and multiplies collagen. The improved skin can last up to 2 years. It is important for the patient to understand before undergoing the procedure that this treatment does not stop the skin’s aging. There are cases in which a THERMITight treatment is repeated when the patient or doctor deems it necessary.
Single or Multiple Sessions?
It is a one treatment procedure. It can be repeated if further laxity develops over time or the patient desires further tightening.
Is A Lift Better?
A lift is an invasive procedure in which excess skin is excised and the cut is sutured up. This may be the best approach for excessive sagging because an RF treatment may not be able to fully correct sagging skin. The RF approach is beneficial for those who have mild to moderate cases of wrinkles or creases. In some cases, the doctor may recommend THERMITight treatments prior to a lift to stimulate collagen, which will also help the healing process once the patient undergoes surgery.
