Is ThermiTight effective and permanent?

Question

I am wondering if anyone knows if thermitite is permanent

Ron Shelton, MD · Answer

The aging process continues, despite anyone's effort in having a facelift or a nonsurgical tightening procedure, such as ThermiTight.  Initial contraction of the connective tissue layer, called the SMAS, and the collagen production that occurs for more than six months after the procedure, continue to fight against this aging process and places the patient behind on the aging curve so they look younger than if they hadn't had the procedure when examined many years after the ThermiTight was done. I usually say, that the results can't be permanent as we all continue to age, and certainly if someone smokes, and gets unprotected sun exposure, the benefit doesn't last as long, but if there are two twins, one who has ThermiTight, and the other doesn't, in ten years, the one that had ThermiTight mayl ook a couple of years younger than the one who didn't.

Thank you for your question.The improvement with Thermi Tight can last for several years but it is not permanent. In fact, none of the treatments for skin tightening are permanent (Not even surgery). Please find an experienced Board Certified Plastic Surgeon or Dermatologist in your area, who can guide you with this. All The Best !

ThermiTight produces a three-dimensional improvement in the appearance of skin laxity. The effects have been shown to last several years, and results are often best when performed by an experienced board certified dermatologist. Nothing is permanent as we cannot stop the clock from ticking and you continue to age after treatment. Most patients will require treatment every few years.

No skin tightening treatment is permanent. We eventually continue to age and break down collagen. ThermiTight is a relatively new treatment. In follow up, patients have been shown to maintain their results for up to 3 years.

Thermitight is an effective radiofrequency device that can cause tightening to the underlying tissues, resulting in a rejuvenated appearance to the treated area. It is particularly effective in the neck region. Unfortunately, nothing is permanent and the aging process will continue to occur. It is certainly a worthwhile, nonsurgical option for those looking for little downtime and limited recovery.
