How ThermiSmooth250 Works

As we age, our bodies naturally produce less collagen, the substance that gives our skin its elasticity. As a result, our skin loses its ability to “bounce back,” leading to fine lines and lax skin. Radiofrequency treatment delivers heat to the dermis to stimulate the production of new collagen. When the thermal energy penetrates the tissue, collagen contracts (tightens), encouraging new collagen growth and the rejuvenation of the skin’s structure.

On cellulite. In the case of “orange peel” skin, the dimples we see are the result of columns of “swollen” fat cells. Swollen fat cells inhibit optimal blood flow, leading to a puckering, or surface unevenness. Heat energy from radiofrequency reduces the fat cells, thus improving blood flow. The result is smoother, more contoured skin. To treat cellulite, higher temperatures are used.

Your ThermiSmooth250 Treatment with Dr. Halaas in New York

Because the ThermiSmooth250 is a non-surgical procedure, no anesthesia is needed. Dr. Yael Halaas will prepare the treatment area by applying a lubricating gel to the skin. This enables the specially designed handpiece to glide over the treatment area. Dr. Halaas will then gently move the ThermiSmooth250 device over the surface of the skin in a slow, consistent motion. As this is done, the device will heat the tissue below the skin’s surface. The ThermiSmooth250 device comes with different-sized applicator tips, which determine how deeply the radio frequency can penetrate. By choosing the appropriate applicator tip, Dr. Halaas can precisely control the delivery of heat and maximize effectiveness. Treatment time varies, depending on the area of the body being treated. In general, a single treatment takes about an hour and, in all cases, no downtime is required.
