How Does ThermiRF Work?
ThermiRF uses radiofrequency waves to heat the tissue to a specific temperature. Depending on the treatment modality, collagen is stimulated and and wrinkles may be smoothed while tightening the skin. Dr. Henderson uses unique heat patterns to target particular tissues, resulting in tighter skin exactly where you need it.
How is ThermiRF Different From Ultherapy?
Different temperatures have different effects on skin, fat, and nerves. With Ultherapy, there is only one type of ultrasound wave used whereas with
ThermiRF, the temperature can easily be adjusted to target specific types of tissues. Also, Ultherapy is applied from the skin’s surface, so the thickness of the skin is a factor in achieving the desired results. However, the ThermiRF technology can be used beneath the skin, referred to as ThermiTight, as well as on the surface, referred to as ThermiSmooth, for skin tightening and smoothing, respectively. When used under the skin, Dr. Henderson inserts the probe to the desired depth, successfully targeting specific tissues. Whereas other specialists in the area are still using Ultherapy, Dr. Henderson offers the latest developments for patients with skin laxity and smoothing and has made the switch to ThermiRF as it is simply a better treatment option.
Advantages of ThermiRF
Patient comfort is a top priority. With the ThermiRF system, a local anesthetic numbs the area so the treatment is comfortable and easy on the patient.
- Compared to a facelift, the ThermiRF system is relatively non-invasive and offers a quick recovery time. Patients can even drive themselves to and from the appointment, making the procedure that much easier and convenient.
- * It can be combined with a minimal surgical procedure such as platysmaplasty or liposuction for improved results in neck contour.
- Safety is built right into the ThermiRF system. Temperature monitoring is a part of the system, ensuring that the skin will not become too hot. Dr. Henderson can expertly target a specific area with the corresponding appropriate temperature, ensuring that the surrounding tissue is untouched and undamaged.
- The ThermiRF system is a versatile solution. It can be used on other parts of the body such as the abdomen, back, arms and legs.
- * In addition to smoothing and addressing sagging skin, the ThermiRF system can be used for vaginal rejuvenation. This is referred to as ThermiVa. Women who have experienced childbirth and are now living with urinary incontinence, vaginal laxity or labial enlargement can benefit greatly. ThermiRF technology can be used to improve overactive bladders and tighten skin in order to reduce
external labia.
