Mariam Awada, MD, FACS Board Certified Plastic Surgeon Thermi Cellulite Treatments in Michigan

Thermi 250 is the newest, most powerful FDA-approved technology to tighten skin and reduce the appearance of cellulite with no discomfort or downtime. The procedure delivers radiofrequency energy to the surface of the skin, slowly raising the skin temperature. This creates thermal damage that causes an increase in collagen and elastin production over time. Within four to six treatments, 7-10 days apart, you will notice tighter and smoother skin in the treatment area. The number of treatments is based on personal cosmetic goals and the condition of the treatment area. Thermi 250 will also cause some reduction in the underlying fat in treatment areas. The technology can be applied to any part of the body suffering from loose, crepey skin or cellulite. We are able to even target areas with thin skin such as eyes and neck with accuracy.

This all takes a significant toll on our skin. When your skin begins to look like it has dimples, depressions in the flesh, or lumps, that is known as cellulite. Cellulite is an embarrassing yet very common esthetic problem for many of our patients, mostly women. It is most common on the thighs and buttocks, but it can be found on the breasts, lower abdomen, and upper arms too. Cellulite in the thighs and buttocks can be unsightly and can cause embarrassment, especially during the summer when patients want to wear bikinis or shorts. Your heredity, skin thickness, gender, age, and how much fat and where it’s located on your body are all factors involved in whether you may get cellulite or not. Dr. Mariam Awada and the Staff at Michigan Cosmetic Surgery offer ThermiSmooth® Body for a non-surgical and non-invasive treatment to tighten loose skin and reduce cellulite on the chest, legs, arms, abdomen, and more.

ThermiTight Face, Neck, Arm Skin Tightening, and More!

ThermiTight is a non-surgical, minimally invasive radiofrequency skin tightening treatment that uses a tiny probe to deliver energy just beneath the surface of the skin. It is used to tighten sagging skin on the face, neck, tummy, breasts, arms, and thighs.

What Should I Anticipate About the Forehead Lift Recovery?

Surgery will remove excess skin and stretched skin and will re-position skin, but it will not tighten skin unless heat is used. Perhaps it’s neck laxity, and you are not ready for a facelift, or maybe you just do not want a facelift? Or it’s that little extra skin on the abdomen or arms that bothers you, but you don’t want a scar?

The micro-invasive treatment is when only a break in the skin as small as a pinhole, made by a needle is made. There is no need for stitches and no visible scarring. For Thermi Tight few tiny holes are made in the skin with a hypodermic needle. Next, a thin blunt-tipped hollow instrument called a cannula is placed through those tiny holes in the skin so that a local anesthetic can be introduced under the skin to numb the area being treated. Next, a thin probe is placed through those same needle holes and introduced under the skin being treated. The tip of the probe emits radiofrequency energy or heat while the probe also records the temperature inside the skin to the technician to ensure the optimal heating for skin tightening is achieved.

We utilize a special infrared camera that is aimed at the treatment area, and an infrared temperature map of the area is displayed on a monitor continually so that the technician achieves the surface temperature goal at all times and to prevent a burn from occurring.

Thermi 250 – Performed by targeting the areas under the skin, providing a temporary reduction of cellulite. There are a series of applications over 6-8 weeks that are gentle, and patients often say it feels like receiving a warm massage.
