BOARD CERTIFIED PLASTIC SURGEON IN RENO

ThermiTight is a beneficial skin-tightening treatment, for one, because it delivers. Patients will begin to see tighter, firmer skin after their very first session. Depending on the degree of improvement desired, one treatment may be all it takes to achieve your goal. Patients appreciate that ThermiTight is performed in the comfort of our office and that they are given a local anesthetic that supports a comfortable, relaxing experience. While there may be some swelling and redness to contend with, there is no real downtime needed after ThermiTight. Patients are typically ready to get back to their normal routine in a week or two. Finally, this treatment is versatile. It can tighten loose skin on the face, neck, or body.

Patients may experience slight swelling and redness and are usually able to return to normal activity within 24 hours.*

ThermiTight is a single treatment solution and the effects have been shown to last several years.*

Many patients begin to see better-looking skin a few weeks after their ThermiTight treatment. However, because collagen remodeling is a continual and progressive process, the results of treatment often do not reach their peak for three to four months.

ThermiTight heats the deeper layers of the skin to stimulate tightening and collagen rebuilding from within. Patients may experience side effects including redness and swelling. Bruising and tenderness may also occur. Side effects are manageable with minimal post-treatment care. They fade over one to two weeks.

Most skin tightening procedures, including those with the best reputations, work by delivering some type of thermal energy into the deeper layers of the skin. ThermiTight works using the same basic mechanism; the device emits radiofrequency waves into dermal tissue. The difference is not in energetic output but in the system of delivery. ThermiTight is a probe applicator that is inserted just beneath the skin that has been anesthetized. Other applicators sit on top of the skin, limiting the depth of penetration. This is why many people see astonishing results after just one ThermiTight session.

Yes, liposuction is a very common procedure performed on patients with undesirable subcutaneous fat and skin laxity. Next to surgical excision of skin and fat, ThermiTight skin tightening combined with liposuction and will offer the best results.*

Multiple areas can be performed at the same time under local tumescent anesthesia in the office. This procedure is very safe and patient satisfaction is very high. Dr. Dahan will limit the number of areas in older patients or in patients with health limitations.

Gentle liposculpture is performed with fine cannulas to remove unwanted fat, followed by skin tightening with the ThermiTight probe. A compression garment is worn for 3-6 weeks postop since fat was removed. There is minimal downtime, bruising, or discomfort.

No. ThermiTight is an elective cosmetic treatment, so it does not qualify for medical insurance coverage.

Our primary goal in consulting with patients is to understand what they want to achieve. When you visit us, bring your concerns and your questions and be ready to talk about them all! After a brief discussion with Dr. Phillip Dahan, we will evaluate your skin and superficial tissue to determine the degree of laxity you have and how much improvement may be possible with a nonsurgical modality like ThermiTight. Your consultation will cover all the details of treatment, including cost and post-treatment care.
