As they approach their middle ages and beyond, many people seek solutions to firm up facial skin. For more powerful results than what store-bought products can achieve, cosmetic professionals provide skin care treatments. David K. Hiranaka, M.D., D.M.D., one of Hawaii’s top cosmetic surgeons in Kailua-Kona, offers Thermismooth, which he and his trained aesthetics team discuss below.

A Guide to the ThermiSmooth Skin Care Treatment

What Is Thermismooth?

ThermiSmooth is a noninvasive procedure that tightens delicate facial skin. It smooths fine lines, mild wrinkling, early laxity, and texture issues. To perform the treatment, Dr. Hiranaka uses a handheld device that delivers radiofrequency energy. This revolutionary epidermal heating has two-fold benefits: not only does the heat immediately tighten lax skin, but it also stimulates the skin’s ability to produce collagen.

Because collagen determines skin strength and elasticity, the overall appearance of the treated area will improve over time. The number of recommended sessions is based on the client’s concerns and desired results, but noticeable improvement can be achieved in as few as three treatments.

What Are Some Ideal Treatment Areas?

The treatment can be applied virtually any place where skin could benefit from added firmness and elasticity. Some of the most common application sites are around the eyes, including the eyelids and the delicate skin beneath the eyes. Other commonly treated areas include the jawline, forehead, chin, neck, and upper and lower lips.
