Understanding ThermiSmooth treatment
Many patients are intrigued by non-invasive solutions to aging skin. Dr. Vikram Khanna and his team in Algonquin, IL are here to help patients choose treatment options that are right for their specific needs. Most men and women are appropriate candidates for ThermiSmooth treatments. This treatment uses a specialized device that is run along the skin and emits radiofrequency energy. This energy provides heat in the facial skin that stimulates the body’s natural production of collagen. Collagen smooths the skin and can provide a more youthful appearance, ensuring the fine lines and wrinkles are a problem of the past!Where can ThermiSmooth be used on the facial area?
Patients may utilize this treatment in areas such as the:- Forehead
- Eyes
- Cheeks
- Mouth
- Jowl/neck
How does ThermiSmooth work?
Dr. Vikram Khanna is a Board-certified dermatologist who has invested in the ThermiSmooth technology for patients in his practice to treat the unwanted signs of aging caused by natural skin laxity. This specialized handheld device uses a unique handpiece that delivers radiofrequency energy right where it is needed. While applied to the surface of the skin, it reaches deep within to stimulate collagen production in the treatment area. The collagen tightens skin and reduces the depth and appearance of troublesome lines and wrinkles. Radiofrequency energy is safe and effective in helping patients get the results they desire!CALL OUR OFFICE
Are ThermiSmooth treatments comfortable?
Many men and women describe the sensation of radiofrequency as a heated massage that is applied directly onto the skin. The radiofrequency treatment is tailored to the patient, as the special handheld device allows the dermatologist to adjust the temperature for improved patient comfort and safety. This is what sets ThermiSmooth apart from similar facial radiofrequency treatments available in other dermatology practices.Who is a proper candidate for ThermiSmooth?
Patients who are unhappy with the development of fine lines and wrinkles that have formed due to increased skin laxity are excited to find out that radiofrequency energy can be used to achieve the desired results. We encourage patients who are interested in learning more about the procedure to book a consultation appointment with our staff, including our Board-certified dermatologist, to discuss this and other solutions available in our state-of-the-art facility. We can help patients choose the procedures that are right for their lifestyle, budget, and specific concerns.How many treatments of ThermiSmooth are required?
Every patient is different, so it can be difficult to determine at the initial consultation appointment how many treatments may need to be performed to achieve the results patients desire. However, we may find that patients will benefit from more than just one service. During the initial consultation appointment, our dermatological team may be able to give you a ballpark as to how many treatments can improve the skin as desired but understand that this is not a hard and fast rule and the situation could change depending on the skin’s natural response to radiofrequency treatments.What can I expect during a ThermiSmooth session?
Treatments with ThermiSmooth are often described as heat massages. This is because the handheld device emits radiofrequency energy which can be warm and comforting. The device is moved along the surface of the facial skin to treat the areas of concern, and this is done within approximately 30 minutes or less. Patients are usually relaxed and at ease during the entire procedure as it is extremely comfortable.
