So I think things look the same, improved from before when I did the procedure. I though I'd add recent pics from last week

So here are a few pics. I think the initial results have lessened a bit. The Dr did say the results would be minimum but "I" can see a difference so for that I'm happy. My last apt about 2 weeks ago, he did say I could do it again and it would get better. At $3500 if I were to do it 2ce I might as well have a tummy tuck. I honestly think the rest is up to me. If I went to the gym and worked hard I think it would improve more, by building up the muscle the skin would smooth out even more. If I could just find the time. Lots of people have private messaged me to see further results, technically the results are supposed to continue but I really think optimal results would include a weight training regimen. I would recommend but expect slight improvement, not drastic. If I could get it done for $1500, I'd consider it. I might consider doing just the micro roller. If anyone else does go through with this PLEASE post pics, there are lots of people interested, I'd love to see someone else's results

Thank you for posting these photos. I think there are quite a few of us who are in the same boat as you. A little loose skin after pregnancy (or weight loss for some) and not enough of it to need a tummy tuck, but definitely enough to bother us. I really like your results and it's nice to see that this procedure isn't all smoke and mirrors!

I can really see a big difference from the "before." Looks great! Weight training, which I love, would make it look even better, but make sure to take in protein supplements when you are doing it, or you just basically waste your workout time!
I wonder if they do this procedure on the front of the thighs?

I've had thermitight done to legs and arms. I have also had lipsuction because I thought results were good but taking too long for me. I am now going back for thermitight because my problem is more skin than fat now. My cosmetic surgeon said he won't do more lipo because it will make my skin looser in the area I am concerned with. He said if I thought thermi worked before to try that route because of the skin tightening that goes along with it....I'm going to try that route again.

Looking into this was wondering if you could send photos now that you are six months out..

Thanks for posting your before and afters. I am considering getting the Thermismooth not Thermitight for my loose abdomen skin after having kids. Its seems to be less expensive. I'll post pictures if I do.

I’m thinking of having it done
45 years old work out often hoping it works. I’m afraid if spending 5,000 and still have to look at my wrinkly belly! I’m not a candidate for tummy tuck. Please let me know your thoughts after all was said and done on your end
Thanks so much

I'm really happy so far. Went to the Dr's for a check in and he thought it looked good too. It's still swollen and I'm still concerned that when the swelling goes down the wrinkles will come back but over time it's supposed to rebuild collagen and that is supposed to help things smooth out. All the gross skin has peeled off so the pics look pretty good I think, swelling aside. No reason to post daily but I'll check in as swelling lessons and then over the months to see the differences.

It does look good! I can see a difference. I can't wait to see how it looks once the swelling goes down. Thank you for posting

I'm in the same boat. Lost the baby weight but I have wrinkled skin around the belly button. I'm dying to know what you think now that it's been about a month? The last pictures you posted looked encouraging :)

Hi! I am hoping you are doing well! I can see a huge improvement and I am really interested to do this treatment! Hope you can update us soon!

You're right that there are not many photos of Thermi on the tummy. I'll post mine once I get a few more weeks into it. It's too much for me to have it going daily and/or so soon afterwards because I found that with CS it was just too emotional. One day, I was okay with it, but the next week, not. (And in the end, though CS worked to rid me of post-meno fat on the belly, I was left with terribly sagging skin where I'd never had it--so here I am now, having just had Thermi to correct the CS damage. Ugh)
Anyway, I wanted to ask you a couple of questions.
First--you definitely have improved from your before pictures! We are all so self-critical, so I hope the positive feedback you've gotten here has been helpful to you (knowing myself how up and down it feels).
Re the micro needling. It looks like you got a really really thorough and aggressive session of that (which is good). Did you ever follow up with more? I'm asking because that is akways recommended as a series. Whoever did yours was good at it. I have not checked out the link about the belly button that someone left you, but I do think if you'd still like to investigate more for that area, micro needling might be a great idea. Do your research on that too. Maybe with PRP, which seems to boost the results quite a bit. There are also growth serums and other products that are applied immediately after that can make a big difference. (I just started getting micro needling on my face. I'm using bioepelle after the needling, but with the 2nd one coming up, I'm going to add Defenage serum to it. I found that on this site and was impressed enough to order it). Feel
Free to DM about that.
Also, you mentioned way back there that you were considering CS. I'm thinking you have not yet, because you'd have mentioned it. If you have not, please think really really hard before deciding to do that. I do not think you've got enough fat that CS is warranted, and Because of that, I think it could leave you with more lax skin. CS is great for the right people, but if you've got any lax skin (which I did not in my lower abs till after CS) it will only get worse.
You've also mentioned that you think weight training could help you. You don't even need to make a big commitment to spend hours in a gym every week. Just start doing planks every other day and you will tighten your abs, lose weight and feel much stronger. I cannot advocate plank work enough. It's made a huge difference for me, and believe me, I hated forced exercise. Now, I'm
All sad that I can't get back to my gym routines till at least two weeks post the Thermi.
Just doing planks--and different types of planks--will build your core muscles. Immediately after my Therminsession, the doctor put my hand on my lower belly and had me feel how hard my ab muscle was. I knew that my ab muscles had gotten really strong in the last year but they were under that layer of loose skin. Before the swelling that began within a couple of hours, the skin was tightened like I had not seen it since before I had children.
So thanks again for your pictures and review. I think you have really improved and hope you can see that. I also think there are things you can do that won't cost so much (micro needling, exercise) that will do nothing but help.
I forgot to add that there is also micro needling with RF. It's called Infini RF. Do a search on that. It's the same RF that Thermi used, it's just used with needling.
I also did the cool sculpting and need to go back in to have my "after" pic taken. I had a little pooch right below my belly button that it completely got rid of, did it make my stomach more wrinkly? Possibly, but I knew it wouldn't be easy to target that 1 specific spot on my belly and I was looking for quick and easy. I'm happy I did it and think it worked. I'm going to try to get into Dr's office next week just for the before and after pics.
Exercise is in my very long to do list, I know it will help, I just need to make the time.
I'm going to look next into getting my belly button fixed, bc of course, I'm never happy,
I can't wait to see your pics. I know it can be emotional and hope your taking pics even if your not posting. I can't tell you how I've needed the reminder when feeling really bad about myself to see that it is in fact better. So when your up for it please post, it's so helpful for yourself as well as many others. Almost everyone said that there weren't enough pics or that they had the same issue, I would have loved to see more pics myself, can't wait to see yours, hope your feeling better soon!!
