There are multiple other safe and successful applications as well. A tiny sterile probe used by Dr. Laverson gently warms the targeted area to melt fat, shrink skin, or inactivate nerves for muscle relaxation. With surgical precision and precise monitoring of tissue temperature, both accuracy and safety are combined for the highest possible level of treatment success. Remnants of destroyed fat cells are absorbed by your lymphatic system and excreted out of your body during days, weeks, and months following treatment (apoptosis). There is virtually NO downtime, although treated areas may be minimally swollen and/or discolored for several days. Thermi-RF offers visibly effective, safe, and comfortable non-surgical body contouring with no downtime, never before possible UNTIL NOW!
Previously available devices delivered energy through the skin surface (TRANS-dermal) or beneath the skin, but results were unpredictable because the effect of energy is variable between individuals and between sites on the same individual. Thermi-RF delivers energy beneath the skin (SUB-dermal) with real-time monitoring of tissue temperature at the treatment site for consistent temperature end-points, resulting in predictable, controlled outcomes.
If you want to reduce excess fat and/or tighten loose skin of your lower face, neck, or beneath your chin, subdermal RF (radiofrequency) treatment may be for you! Now, Dr. Laverson can treat these problems with a minimally-invasive (non-surgical) procedure.
ThermiRF delivers fat melting and skin tightening heat precisely to targeted areas for improved contour and tightened skin in the office, while you are awake. Treatment areas are anesthetized and radiofrequency (RF) is delivered by a probe passed beneath the skin to initiate a healing response that reorganizes and tightens collagen matrices. At slightly higher temperatures, fat cells dissolve and subsequently resorb for non-surgical body contouring and smoothing of fat bulges. Liposuction can be added at the same time if necessary or desired.
Never before possible, new technology allows safe and effective skin tightening and fat dissolution in the office! Delivery of specific heat levels to connective tissue beneath your skin causes collagen to reorganize and shrink. Similar levels of heat cause fat cells to dissolve, and your body absorbs these injured cells. The result is tighter, toned skin and removal of excess fat in treated areas. The procedure is performed in the office under local antesthesia with minimal discomfort, and recovery is quicker than after surgical procedures. Results are seen in several weeks to months, and patients enjoy the immediate improvement.
Dr. Laverson applies Thermigen technology (“ThermiTight”) to precisely control heat generation in the treatment area. This produces the most consistent, predictable, and safe results. Indications for ThermiTight are unwanted localized fat and/or loose skin of arms, abdomen, love handles, thighs, or knees. Usually, only one or two areas are treated per office session.
Just show Dr. Laverson the area of loose or sagging skin on the face or body, and we’ll schedule your tightening procedure. After evaluating the loose skin involved, radiofrequency (RF) energy is delivered by a thermistor controlled handpiece. ThermiSmooth delivers precise heating to the skin’s surface. ThermiSmooth treatments are gentle and patients often say it feels like receiving a warm massage. Normal body temperature is about 37°C, and your loose skin will be warmed to about 45° C. Warmth applied to deep dermal connective tissue shrinks and tightens in the RF therapy session. Lines and creases that have developed over the course of years smooth in response. To avoid excessive heating, skin surface temperature is monitored by an infrared heat-sensing camera continuously, and cool compresses are applied as needed.
