ThermiTight is not a surgical procedure. It is a nonsurgical in-between procedure to tighten and lift face, neck, arms, abdomen, back, knees, etc, without surgery and there are no incisions used, nor stitches needed. A small probe, the diameter of pencil graphite, is inserted through a needle point in the skin after local anesthetic is injected for comfort. Heat is generated via the radiofrequency probe and after the temperature is achieved for the time duration desired, the probe is removed and the needle insertion is allowed to heal in a day without stitches.The information provided in Dr. Shelton'sanswer is for educational purposes only and is not intendedto constitute medical advice.

There are no true "incisions" for the ThermiTight. Rather, 3 small needle stab incisions are placed: under the chin, and one under each ear lobe. These heal extraordinarily well and are barely noticeable.
