ThermiSmooth for Cellulite Reduction
ThermiSmooth® is a comfortable, non-surgical, non-invasive technology for getting rid of cellulite. At our Birmingham Med Spa, we have helped hundreds of women reduce the “cottage cheese” appearance of cellulite and get smoother skin with this highly effective, state-of-the-art procedure.
In this article, our Birmingham cellulite reduction experts explain how innovative ThermiSmooth treatments can reduce the unsightly lumps and bumps of cellulite on the hips, thighs, belly and buttocks.
What is Cellulite?
“Cellulite” refers to areas of the skin having a dimpled, lumpy appearance. It is most commonly found on the buttocks and thighs, but can also occur in other areas of the body. While cellulite can be affected by age, lifestyle and diet, there is also a strong hereditary component to cellulite.
Cellulite occurs when fat deposits push through the connective tissue beneath the skin. Even people who are thin or at their ideal weight can have troubling cellulite.
Cellulite is an extremely common issue, with more than 100 million women in the US between the ages of 20-54 having cellulite concerns.
How ThermiSmooth® Gets Rid of Cellulite
ThermiSmooth® uses advanced radio frequency based technologies to heat the skin’s surface to precise temperatures.
This controlled, non-invasive, tissue heating tightens the skin, increases the body’s own collagen production, and stimulates the production of connective tissue over time.
A special cream will be applied to the whole area, to allow the electrode to smoothly pass over the treatment areas. Then a unique hand piece is gently massaged across the cellulite, heating the surface of the skin.
Because it is non-surgical and non-invasive, there is no pain and no downtime with ThermiSmooth cellulite reduction.
And patients will see initial results from their very first ThermiSmooth® session. Patients with a greater degree of cellulite will require multiple treatments that are repeated until they achieve the desired aesthetic result.
The number of ThermiSmooth cellulite treatments that a patient will need will depend upon the amount of cellulite they have and the underlying condition of their skin. With additional treatments, even more dramatic results are achieved. Full results develop over 3 to 6 months as the new collagen and connective tissue is produced by your body.
Typically a series of three to six applications is recommended in order to achieve optimal results. However, three treatments is about the average to achieve the optimal cellulite reduction effect.
Other Cellulite Treatments
In addition to non-invasive ThermiSmooth cellulite treatment, AMAE Med Spa also offers two, new minimally-invasive treatments – Profound and Morpheus8 – for cellulite reduction. These revolutionary new skin resurfacing procedures combine radiofrequency energy with microneedling to rebuild the skin’s structure on a deep cellular level.
Extremely fine, clinical grade needles are used to penetrate the skin, releasing radiofrequency (RF) heat deep into the dermis. The RF thermal energy activates the skin’s own natural healing processes, stimulating renewed production of the three building blocks of youthful skin: collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid. This causes the skin to become thicker, plumper, smoother and more elastic – which keeps ugly the pockets of fat from poking through.
Because ThermiSmooth is non-invasive it is painless, requires no anesthetic, and has no downtime. Morpheus8 comes with some bleeding, scabbing, swelling, or redness that lasts a few days. And Profound is followed by redness, swelling and sometimes bruising that may last from 2 to 7 days. And both Profound and Morpheus8 include topical numbing to ensure a comfortable experience.
