Smoothing skin in NYC with ThermiRF® tightening

We are in an exciting era of aesthetic medicine, a time when the impossible routinely becomes possible. New technology and innovative new uses for existing technology are expending our options and improving the standard of care on a near daily basis. ThermiRF® can be counted among those innovations that changed the way we view the fight against aging. It is a minimally invasive, extremely versatile system, which can be used to tighten and smooth skin, trigger new collagen production, and even temporarily reduce the appearance of cellulite.

The technology behind ThermiRF®
Radiofrequency (RF) energy has been safely used in medical applications for decades. Like many other minimally invasive techniques, most RF technologies work on the principle of heat. With any thermal therapy, the greatest challenges are temperature regulation and burn prevention. If the targeted tissue does not reach the optimal temperature, effectiveness will be diminished. However, if the temperature is too high, or surrounding tissues are overheated, pain or other unwanted side effects can occur.

ThermiRF® is unique delivery system that incorporates real time temperature monitoring and adjustment. It can be directed with precision, giving the clinician greater control over the treatment, and delivering more reliable results while minimizing the risk of complication.

What to expect
Although ThermiRF® treatment is minimally invasive and carefully controlled, we begin with local anesthetic to ensure your comfort. The probe is then inserted gently beneath the skin, and radiofrequency energy is delivered directly to the targeted layer. You may feel a warming sensation, but it should not be painful. The entire procedure usually takes about an hour, although the time will vary depending on the size and location of the treatment area. A wrap will be applied when treatment is complete, and you will be able to resume most of your regular daily activities immediately.
