Thermage is non-invasive and uses radiofrequency (RF) to tighten skin. ThermiTight is invasive using a needle to puncture the skin to deliver RF. I have seen better results with Ulthera versus Thermage, and ThermiTight is not used in my practice.
Thermage is a completely non-invasive method of tightening the skin and producing new collagen. ThermiTight is semi-invasive where a catheter and anesthesia are utilized to tighten the skin. I have amazing results with Thermage and would consult an expert in the field.
Thanks for thequestion. Thermage is a monopolar RF device that is noninvasive and can tightenthe skin. ThermiRF or ThermiTight also uses monopolar RF energy, but with aminimally invasive needle placed into the skin to cause skin tightening. ThermiRFis becoming more popular and needs to be performed by a skilled provider somake a consultation with a board-certified dermatologist or plastic surgeon andlearn which one might be best for you.
Thermageand ThermiTight are similar in that they both use radiofrequency energy to induceskin tightening. But that is about wherethe similarities end. Thermage isnon-invasive and uses an external applicator pressed up against the skin todeliver the energy from the outside. ThermiTight is minimally invasive, anddelivers the radio frequency energy via a probe that is inserted under theskin. After the treatment site isappropriately anesthetized a small puncture is made to the side of thetreatment area and then the probe is slowly passed under the skin to betightened. We have seen some very impressiveresults with ThermiTight.
