Thermi RF tightening, how long will the swelling last?

ThermiRF procedures vary but usually swelling can last about 3-5 days.  Sometimes however you may experience swelling for longer periods depending up on the amount of time the procedure took, what part of the body the procedure was performed and even just you.  I usually recommend some tape or bandages after the procedure for about 24 hours to help control some of this but usually it will resolve pretty rapidly.  Its a great procedure to help the tightening but it is definitely Surgeon dependent.  

Its important that you avoid working out or activities that might draw fluid to the area. Compression also helps. If you have the procedure for fat reduction, the tissues are more traumatized and, as a result, recovery will be longer. Good luck

ThermiTight of the abdomen can produce swelling which will be for several weeks, and then sometimes it is not very much. You just have to let your tissues recover however they do naturally. A mild compression garment is helpful, as is external ultrasound. Just be patient, the results will be worth it. Abdomen's especially are some of my happiest patients!

Swelling is common after the thermi RF tightening procedure and typically lasts anywhere from a few days to about a week. A compression garment is usually worn by patients for 48-72 hours continuously after the procedure which helps to minimize swelling. By contrast, with surgical skin tightening, involving incisions and cutting, recovery can be up to many weeks.

Swelling after ThermiTight to the abdomen typically lasts 1-2 weeks. During this time, you should not be feeling any significant discomfort although there may be some bruising. There are no real restrictions on your daily activities.

Healing after #thermiTight and #themiSmoothSwelling can last several days.Most studies show that RF gives the best tightening results for skin but the improvements go on for months (which is good, you just need to be patient)

Swelling (edema from the procedure) generally increases for 2-3 days then progressively goes away, a lot at first then slower for several weeks. The Skin contraction takes months to see the final improvement. 

On the body, things tend to swell more and longer than on the face.  Swelling on the body may last for three weeks or more but does go away with time. Some patients like to use Spanx or other compression garments.

Congratulations on choosing one of the best procedures for skin tightening.  As the main training center for ThermiTight in the southeast, we perform more ThermiRF procedure than most and have a lot of experience with ThermiRF or Thermitight. Many of our patients experience swelling the first 1-2 weeks depending
on the other procedures performed. We routinely combine ThermiTight with other
procedures such as liposuction or Smartlipo. Again, congrats and enjoy your results.

ThermiTight is a great option to tighten skin wherever you have laxity. I applaud the doc that advised you to have TherniTight on your tummy instead of CoolSculpting if you didn't have excess fat and only had lax skin. The swelling is normal and generally lasts about two weeks. You can use a compression garment to speed the process along of you like. I also recommend Arnica Montana and Bromelain as supplements to help in your healing process. I have seen improvement in as early as 2 weeks, but you should expect to see results in 2-3 months. Be patient, its worth it!I hope this helps!
