How Does ThermiSmooth Body Work?
The ThermiSmooth Body procedure uses an innovative device that delivers radiofrequency energy deep into the skin’s tissues. This energy heats the skin and leads to changes at the cellular level, increasing collagen production.
Collagen Production
Collagen is one of the primary building blocks of the skin, giving it strength and structure. Some like to compare it to a mattress covering that holds everything together. With a boost in collagen production, ThermiSmooth Body can tighten drooping skin and create a firmer appearance.
The ThermiSmooth Body procedure is most often used on the abdomen, back, buttocks, legs, and arms.
The Benefits of ThermiSmooth Body
Our body experiences several natural changes over time. For example, the skin may begin to droop and sag. While some of these changes are due to aging, they can also occur for women at almost any life stage.
Many turn to diet and exercise to resolve these cosmetic issues but see little difference because diet and exercise cannot treat the skin that has been stretched after pregnancy. This is where a revolutionary treatment like ThermiSmooth Body comes in.
ThermiSmooth Body in Beverly Hills offers many cosmetic benefits. This procedure is completely non-invasive and uses radiofrequency energy to change your skin at the cellular level, stimulating collagen and elastin production. This boost in collagen and elastin does the following:
- Firms sagging or drooping skin
- Tightens loose skin around the midsection
- Enhances underlying muscle tone
- Creates an overall younger, more toned appearance
Many patients choose ThermiSmooth procedures because there is no recovery or downtime involved. You can see a significant change in your skin quality without having an invasive surgical procedure or worrying about taking time off from work to heal. Since ThermiSmooth Body is a non-invasive procedure, patients also avoid the risks that come with invasive surgical procedures.
Before Your ThermiSmooth Body Treatment
Even though ThermiSmooth Body is a fast and simple treatment, it is still important to prepare properly for the procedure. In order to achieve the best results possible, you’ll want to have a good understanding of everything that the process involves.

Your ThermiSmooth Body Screening
ThermiSmooth Body is not the ideal cosmetic procedure for everyone. For example, Thermi procedures are not effective for patients with a significant amount of excess weight. These individuals may benefit from a plastic surgical procedure like liposuction instead.
When scheduling your ThermiSmooth Body treatment, my staff will ask you about any underlying health conditions or implanted medical devices you may have. This part of the conversation is important, as the radiofrequency energy used in Thermi treatments could interact with implants like pacemakers, metal IUDs, neurostimulators, defibrillators, and Cochlear implants. If you have any of these implanted devices, we will discuss other cosmetic options to help you achieve your desired results.
Preparing for Your ThermiSmooth Body Procedure
Before your first ThermiSmooth Body treatment, you will be provided with pre and post-treatment instructions to order to achieve the best results possible. I will have you sign all of the necessary paperwork, including consent forms. Before your first treatment, you will want to consider the following factors:
Hydrate the Day Before Treatment
To make ThermiSmooth’s radiofrequency technology more effective, you should drink an extra four to six glasses of water in the 24 hours before their session. Being adequately hydrated for your treatment will help to achieve the best results possible.
Do Not Wear Jewelry or Skincare Products During Your Session
The metal in jewelry can interact with the radiofrequency energy used in Thermi procedures. For this reason, I will ask you to please remove all jewelry before your ThermiSmooth session begins.
Skincare products like moisturizers, creams, and perfumes can make it harder for the Thermi device to operate when placed against the skin. I ask that you not apply any products on the day of your treatment. Instead, wash your skin that morning with a mild body wash. Do not apply any additional products.
Consider Medical Implants
The Thermi device’s radiofrequency energy may interact with medically implanted devices, including defibrillators, pacemakers, neurostimulators, metal IUDs, ACID, Cochlear implants, and other mechanical devices. Before treatment begins, please notify my staff and me of any implanted devices you have.
What Happens During ThermiSmooth Body Treatment?
ThermiSmooth Body is a simple procedure, and most patients find sessions comfortable or relaxing. During your Thermi session, you’ll be able to recline and close your eyes while I use a handheld Thermi device to deliver radiofrequency to the treatment areas. This can include a combination of the stomach, arms, legs, back, and buttocks for most patients.
The ThermiSmooth device is temperature-controlled, elaborately heating deep tissue and stimulating cellular changes that will alter the structure and appearance of your skin. You will feel slight pressure and warmth while the device is in use. There is no pain or discomfort. In fact, many patients report that Thermi feels like a hot stone massage.
The entire process will take about one to two hours, depending on the number of areas we’re treating. Once your session is complete, you will be able to return home immediately afterward and resume your everyday activities.
Your ThermiSmooth Body Results and Recovery
One of the best things about ThermiSmooth Body is that there is no recovery or downtime involved. Patients are able to return to normal activity the same day as their procedure. With that being said, I do advise patients to avoid tanning beds for about 24 hours after treatment.
Results
Results will vary from patient to patient, but you will see immediate results after just one treatment. After your first session, you will notice that your skin feels tighter and firmer.
For this initial round of treatment, I recommend a total of three sessions, spaced four to ten weeks apart. This gives the cells deep in your skin and tissue time to respond to the Thermi treatment, leading to firming and tightening effects. We also offer ThermiSmooth Face treatments to help reduce age-related changes to your face.
