What is the difference between Thermi Smooth, thermi Tight and thermiRF?

Thank you for your question.  I recommend a combination of procedures for optimal results.

ThermiTight utilizes a small electrode inserted under the skin to heat tissue to a selected therapeutic temperature.  Literature has shown that elevating skin to a therapeutic temperature level can contract collagen molecules and stimulate collagen production, which may give the appearance of lifting or tightening.   Fat reduction is rare, unless set to high temperatures and kept at high temperatures for a significant amount of time .

To best answer your question,  it  depends on how much skin laxity you have.   ThermiTight can work well in the thigh area to tighten skin that is mild to moderately laxity.  Surgery may be a better option, if you have excessive laxity.   Results with ThermiTight vary from patient to patient.  You should experience some overall improvement.

The best way to assess and give true advice would be an in-person exam.

Please see a board-certified plastic surgeon that specializes in aesthetic and restorative plastic surgery.

Best of luck!

Thermi is a radiofrequency energy that treats the connective fibers under the skin with heat. It causes secondary tightening. It's minimally invasive and is usually performed in the office.ThermiVA is for vaginal rejuvenation. It is done without any anesthesia and is painless.ThermiTight treats the subcutaneous tissue directly with a RF probe and is done under local anesthesia.ThermiSmooth is for external delivery of RF heat for thinner skin areas such as the eyelids. This is also painless and non-invasive.
