After much research, decided to do ThermiTight w Renee Arriaga, FNP. Considered Ulthera, Thermage and ThermiTight. Met with 3 different providers and ultimately chose Thermi RF w Renee because of her transparency and before & after photos of her own patients. Treatment was not as painful as I anticipated. 1 day out and I have no swelling. Some bruising under chin. Too early to say if it was "worth it" but I am very optimistic about results. Will post "after" photos in a few weeks.

Changed the bandage today and snapped a photo. I can already see a difference. A little swelling from where the compression bandage was and some bruising but otherwise, I think I am going to be happy!

Good luck with your results. I am considering this treatment so will be following your recovery. Please would you keep posting pics for a few months after so we can see the full effect? How many entry holes do you have, and where are they placed? Did she do lipo under chin and jowl area as well as laser to tighten?

One entry hole under chin and one in front of each ear. Yes, 8cc of fat removed from submental (so not much but enough). I am really optimistic. My husband who never "saw" the problem area now says that he can see a positive difference.

I need some fat removed from under the chin also but because of my age I am concerned it will not tighten back up again like a younger skin will. Do you know if she removed fat from the jowl area also? If not, how does that area improve does she say?
August 5, 2015
I only had 8 ccs of fat removed in submental (under chin). There was very little fat there but it made a big difference. I am 45 and was worried about the skin tightening up afterward too hence the thermitight but already that part looks better. Not entirely smooth just yet but again not even a full week out. Going for a therapeautic massage tomorrow to promote healing. So we'll see after that. Will continue to post pics.

I don't think it's Thermi results you're seeing after a few days, as it takes months for new collagen to form. However, I've found that swelling can temporarily tighten the skin. It's also possible that the radiofrequency heat melted a little fat ... which is a good thing! I hope you have great results in the long run. I'm 6 weeks out from my procedure and look basically the same, but I've read it usually takes 8-12 weeks to start notice tightening.

Oh, I just read your comment below that you did have lipo. That difference does start showing up sooner.
August 5, 2015
Yes mam. I think everything is tighter. But I will be 1 week out tomorrow. So still some swelling for sure. But it "feels" like it is tightening. Not sure if that makes sense. Previously did Thermage and had NO change AT ALL. So this is definately been different. Fingers crossed. Will keep you posted and will update with photos.

Do you have a side profile pic of how your neck area looked before the ThermiTite?

I'm considering this procedure as well, and it would be in the Houston area - either Thermitight or Thermismooth. Did she say anything about the risk of melting fat? I need tightening, but I have no fat to spare either :)
August 10, 2015
She didnt say anything about melting fat. That may be a good question to ask her directly. But it was described to me as like shrink wrapping (but over a period of months) where the heat causes the everything to lift, tighten and adhere. So essentially the skin would better adhere to the underlying tissue (where it has become loose and crepy). That's what I am expecting. Am seeing definate changes but not sure yet if they'll continue to improve as they are supposed to do. I am only a week and a half out from treatment.
