Anyone ever heard of this? I searched the forums and had 0 results. My surgeon's office offers this procedure called ThermiSmooth Body. Here's their description of it and a link https://www.newyoubariatriccenter.com/your-weight-loss-journey/life-as-the-new-you/post-weight-loss-skin-tightening/ I've never ever heard of this before. Has anyone tried this post-op for skin tightening? There are before/after pics at the link.

"Do you have loose skin in your arms, legs or stomach? Are you interested in a non-surgical option for your New You? ThermiSmooth Body uses radiofrequency technology to gently and safely remodel collagen. By targeting the areas under the skin, we are able to tighten and firm loose skin and reduce the appearance of cellulite. This non-invasive procedure feels much like a hot stone massage. Treatments last 10 minutes per area and are performed over six sessions for best results."

Awesome! According to the Finger & Associates link, ThermiSmooth sounds like a better deal (haven't hit those other links yet):

  • Pain or discomfort: The ThermiSmooth–none. CoolSculpting (CS)–mild to moderate.
  • Pain or discomfort after treatment: ThermiSmooth–none. CoolSculpting–mild to moderate.
  • Numbness after treatment: ThermiSmooth–none. CS–yes, for a few days to weeks.
  • Swelling: ThermiSmooth–none. CoolSculpting–for a few days to weeks.
  • What to expect: ThermiSmooth–reduces fat, tightens skin, reduces wrinkles, reduces cellulite. CoolSculpting reduces fat.
  • The ThermiSmooth can be used virtually anywhere on the body plus around the eyes, forehead, mouth, lower face, areas not commonly used with CoolSculpting. Both can be used for the body, arms, legs and neck.

I've been curious about cool-sculpting as an alternative to plastic surgery

I bought a home cavitation machine in the hopes that it could help tighten the skin as I lose weight. There are several on the market. https://abeautyhealthy.com/ultrasound-cavitation-machines/ To be clear, I do not sell these!

I dont get it. As my understanding u say in your post that your surgeon uses this thermosmooth procedure. You also say that you trying to find info on it with 0 results. And you say you never heard of this before and you dont know anything about it... Then all of a sudden your Conversation changes and you know all about the procedue. You even put a website here and you have knowledge on what your saying. You explain it detail by detail. You even explain how it works n how long it takes n how many sessions nessesary. But i thought you said you couldnt find any info on it. Then you go on to say "We are able to tighten and firm loose skin" so you do know about this procedure and your promoting it. Is that it. Because you confused me here with two diff. Stories. Sorry im not here to offend no one i just want to know whats the deal.

The BP forums, at the time, had no info on ThermiSmooth. No one at the time had posted about it. I hadn’t researched it either. I was reading my surgeons site, saw it, copied and pasted the basic info into my post and was curious about other’s possible experience with it. I was sharing info I had just learned. I’m not promoting anything no more than people talk about their skin removal surgery. Chill out, lady. Geez. Not that big a deal. 🙄

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
