ThermiTight

Because of the fact that this procedure is a very basic one, most people would qualify as candidates for Thermitight. However, the best candidates include anyone that’s looking for notable improvements to their sagging or loose skin, but don’t want to undergo surgery. This loose skin can be on the neck, face, or body. It’s important that your expectations for this procedure are reasonable.

If you go into it believing that it will help to tighten your skin and make your appearance look more youthful, then you’re taking the right approach to the procedure. However, in most cases, it’s not going to simply shed 15 years off of your appearance. Despite this, the results are typically fantastic. You’ll also be considered an ideal candidate if you’re relatively healthy.

The Thermitight procedure is usually a very quick one, especially in regards to similar surgical procedures. However, the length depends primarily on the size of the treatment area. The more skin that needs to be tightened, the longer the procedure will take. On average, you should expect the procedure to last around one hour following administration of the local anesthesia.

Once this procedure has been completed, you will likely experience some initial discomfort for a small amount of time around the area where the anesthesia was administered. While the shrinkage of the tissues just underneath your skin will occur immediately during the procedure, it’s important to understand that you shouldn’t expect to see full results until around 6-8 weeks have passed. This treatment has a very high success rate. While the results of the procedure aren’t permanent, they do last for at least several years in most cases.

As with any procedure, even minimally-invasive ones, there are a couple of risks that you should be aware of. For instance, some people might have a bad reaction to local anesthesia, though this is rare. Swelling and redness will typically occur for a period of two weeks or so following the conclusion of the treatment. These small side effects are entirely normal and expected. It’s possible that the swelling might last longer, but this shouldn’t be the case. A very rare, but relatively minor nerve injury is a possible side effect to Thermitight. However, its rarity should put your mind at ease.

Due to the simple nature of this treatment, you can return to work in as little as one or two days. Depending on how severe the swelling is, you might want to stay out for a couple of extra days, but this decision is entirely up to you. Normal activity can also be resumed at this time.
