Velashape vs. Thermage for stomach skin tightening? Which is better?

Question

lax stomach skin and debating between the two (Velashape vs. Thermage). I understand neither will produce the same effect as a tummy tuck.

Kimberly Butterwick, MD · Answer

There is actually a third option that might actually be the best choice for you. ThermiTight is a nonsurgical skin-tightening treatment that uses tiny probes under the skin to deliver radiofrequency energy deep into the tissue. The energy gently heats the tissue, leading to constriction and boosting collagen levels. The result is smoother, firmer skin over time, with long-lasting results. This procedure does not require anesthesia or downtime and the results can be quite dramatic. I encourage you to schedule a consultation with a board-certified dermatologist who has expertise in nonsurgical skin tightening for a full assessment and treatment recommendations.

Thank you for your question. I would likely recommend ThermiTight for tightening the skin in the midsection. I have used this successfully on many of my patients, often combined with liposculpture to achieve a dramatic effect. ThermiTight delivers radiofrequency energy deep into the tissue via tiny probes, where gentle heating leads to constriction and collagen production. Skin becomes smoother and firmer in the weeks and even months following treatment. A single session will typically produce full results. Make sure the doctor you choose for your procedure is both board-certified and has ample training and experience using the device to ensure an optimal outcome.
