Thermi

OVERVIEW

At Orlando Plastic Surgery Associates, we believe that the best way to achieve a more youthful appearance is through the power of science. Dr. Edgar Sosa has trained with world-renowned plastic surgeons at various prestigious institutions that include Lahey Hospital and Medical Center, Brigham and Women's Hospital an affiliated Harvard hospital, and Emerson Hospital.

Skin is expected to inevitably become loose with time and minimize the firmness as a patient ages, leading to sagging and laxity. Thermi® is considered a minimally invasive skin tightening and contouring treatment; which can be used in several different areas of the body and achieve a firmer, more-youthful appearance.

ThermiTight® is designed to improve and restore a firmer-looking appearance. ThermiTight® utilizes state-of-the-art radiofrequency technology to tighten loose skin and assist in removing small amounts of stubborn fat in one treatment.

ThermiVa® is a quick, non-invasive, non-ablative treatment delivering physician controlled radiofrequency energy using a thoughtfully designed hand piece to gently heat tissue for vaginal rejuvenation.

BENEFITS

Dr. Edgar Sosa is a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon, who has perfected his skills to address skin laxity. At our location in Lake Mary, FL., we are able to provide a wide range of medical treatment including those for skin laxity with the use of Thermi®.

Thermi® treatment areas include:

  • Face

  • Neck

  • Arms

  • Abdomen

  • Thighs

  • Vaginal rejuvenation

OPTIONS

For ThermiTight® treatment, a local anesthetic is administered to reduce discomfort during the procedure. A probe is placed through a single incision which is made in the skin and the ThermiTight® probe is placed beneath the skin. This device sends radiofrequency energy to subsurface tissues, producing a tightening effect and stimulating the production of new collagen fibers to enhance skin structure.

Additionally, heat from the ThermiTight® device can disrupt fat, reducing fat deposits and improving definition. ThermiTight® results can be long-lasting and skin tightening improvements can continue to be seen in the months following treatment. During your procedure, ThermiTight® technology monitors the temperature above and below the skin in real time using state-of-the-art computer technology, improving efficiency, as well as patient safety.

During ThermiVa® treatment, a probe is placed into the vaginal vault. The device sends radiofrequency energy to subsurface tissues, producing a tightening effect and stimulating the production of new collagen fibers to enhance skin structure. ThermiVa® results can be long-lasting and tightening improvements can continue to be seen in the months following treatment.

RECOVERY

ThermiTight® patients require minimal downtime and can generally return to daily activities within a few days of treatment. Thermi® treatment causes minimal discomfort and has a low risk of serious complications. The radiofrequency energy is not directly applied to the outer layers of skin, the therapy will not damage tissues or cause discomfort.

For best results and to ensure proper healing with optimal results, patients are required to wear a surgical garment or elastic band for the first 24 to 48 hours with best results up to 10 days. The majority of patients return to their daily activities within several days such as work.

Confidence is the most beautiful thing you can possess.
