I was planning on doing both procedures, but would it be better to do the luctronics co2 laser before thermatight? Thank you!
Answer: Exterior laser resurfacing and internal Thermi Tight facial and neck tightening If ThermiTight is done in the infrastructure of the skin and external carbon dioxide (CO2) laser resurfacing is immediately done to the exterior surface, despite the CO2 being fractional, there could be a greater risk of risk. That is not to say that treatments like this can't be done, but the neck does not have the same skin as the face and physicians need to respect the risks of the procedures when done together, and explain this to their patients. There can be a risk of scarring from CO2 laser as well as Thermi and when done together, the risks might be more than additive. I am aware, though, some colleagues have addressed performing both procedures concurrently with good results.The information provided in Dr. Shelton's

Answer: ThermiTight and CO2 laser In the hands of an experienced dermatologic surgeon, the most efficient and effective approach would be to do both procedures at the same time, one after the other (assuming that you are a good candidate for both). This will save you time in office visits and possible procedure fees. When both are done at the same time, the best order would be the ThermiTight first followed by the CO2 laser because the anesthesia applied for the ThermiTight would make the CO2 laser completely painless. If for whatever reason you choose to schedule the two procedures separately, then the ThermiTight is still the procedure that should be performed first since it targets the deeper layers of tissue and leaves the surface of the skin intact allowing for the next surface procedure (i.e. the CO2 laser) to be performed at your convenience. Hope that helps and good luck!

Answer: ThermiTight Versus Co2 I often do these together you get a much better improvement. Once is for skin tightening (thermi) the other is for complexion/spots/wrinkles (co2). Best, Dr. Emer.

Answer: ThermiTight vs. Laser Without seeing a photo, it's really hard to know which technology would be best for you. The ThermiRF device is excellent for fat removal and skin tightening but will do nothing to resurface your skin. On the other hand, the CO2 laser will provide some small degree of skin tightening (and no effect on fat) but will be more effective at resurfacing your skin.I would definitely agree with the layered approach but don't think that you necessarily need a laser to accomplish that. If your skin damage is minor, you may be able to get a very nice result with the ThermiRF combined with a stronger chemical peel.I hope that helps and wish you the very best!

Answer: Which To Do First: ThermiTight or CO2 Laser? There will probably be different opinions on which treatment to do first. I prefer to start with the deeper layers and work more superficially. If you were my patient and were planning on doing both treatments then I would recommend doing the thermitight first followed by the CO2 laser. Make sure you find a provider that does both treatments and can make sure both are appropriate for you. Best wishes.
