About ThermiTight

When each of us is first born, our bodies have a full supply of collagen and elastin that helps to make our skin healthy, soft, and supple. Over time, these nutrients begin to diminish and the skin on our face and body begins to decrease in elasticity, allowing lines, wrinkles, and sagging skin to occur. If you want to improve elasticity and the appearance of your skin without undergoing aesthetic surgery, you may be a candidate for nonsurgical skin tightening by double board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Marisa Lawrence at her facility in Atlanta, GA. Our practice proudly offers ThermiTight, which uses regulated radiofrequency heat energy to prompt a natural collagen and elastin response so you can have firmer, healthier skin. ThermiTight can tone the skin on your neck, breast, arms, abdominal wall, thighs, and knees without the expense or recovery time of a lift or skin removal surgery. Schedule a consultation with Dr. Lawrence today to discover more about nonsurgical skin tightening at Marisa Lawrence Plastic Surgery.

Ideal Candidates

Lift and skin tightening surgeries, such as a facelift, are the most effective solutions for correcting loose skin. However, nonsurgical skin tightening offers drastic improvements if you do not wish to undergo plastic surgery. ThermiTight can be used to treat most areas of the face and body, including the neck, stomach, arms, and thighs. Ideal candidates for ThermiTight:

  • Are healthy overall
  • Are able to maintain their goal weight
  • Want to boost the health and appearance of their skin
  • Experience skin laxity on the face or body
  • Have lines or wrinkles they wish to diminish

Procedure Technique

At your treatment planning appointment with Dr. Lawrence, she will help you decide what type of anesthesia or sedation you'd like to have during your ThermiTight treatment. While the procedure is minimally invasive, it involves the insertion of a probe beneath the skin, requiring anesthesia. Before your procedure, we will escort you to one of our treatment rooms where we will prep the treatment area for the session. When you are comfortable, Dr. Lawrence will insert the ThermiTight electrode beneath the subdermal layer of your treatment area. The electrode will gently and comfortably heat the layer to stimulate a collagen response. Results may take a few weeks to appear. In the meantime, you will enjoy your normal activities and no large surgical incisions.

What to Expect

You will need to have a responsible adult drive you home from your ThermiTight treatment as you will be recovering from some sort of anesthesia or sedation. You should be fine once you are alert and recovered from the sedative. Dr. Lawrence will discuss how to best care for your skin after the procedure, such as keeping the skin clean, protecting yourself from infection, and taking your medications as prescribed. Your results should be long-lasting and improve the overall health and appearance of your skin. Keep in mind that this is not permanent as your skin will continue to change as you age. ThermiTight allows you to age slowly and with grace, helping you to maintain your youthful skin for a while longer. 

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does nonsurgical skin tightening cost?
Depending on the size and amount of areas being treated, the cost of a nonsurgical skin tightening treatment will vary. Prior to your treatment, we will discuss your out-of-pocket costs and customize a specific treatment plan for your needs. We can also discuss payment and financing options if you qualify.

What is collagen?
Collagen is a protein-based tissue naturally produced by the body. Along with other functions, it works to help keep skin hydrated, elastic, and firm. However, through the natural aging process, the natural supply and production of collagen tend to slow down. This then leads to looser, thinner, and less elastic skin. With ThermiTight, this procedure will bolster your collagen production and create healthier, tighter skin.

What kind of side effects can I expect after my treatment?
After a nonsurgical skin tightening treatment, you may experience some redness, temporary swelling, and/or numbness of the treated area. This will usually subside within a few days. The results of your treatment will continue to develop in the months following your procedure as collagen continues to be produced. Some patients may need several treatments before achieving their desired outcome.
