ThermiTight in Reston VA: The Future of Skin Tightening at WellMedica

As we age, skin laxity and the appearance of sagging in areas like the neck, jawline, abdomen, and thighs can be discouraging. At WellMedica in Reston VA, Dr. Dima Ali understands the emotional and physical toll aging can take. That’s why she offers ThermiTight, a cutting-edge, minimally invasive procedure that helps tighten skin and improve contour—without the need for surgery.

Whether you are experiencing the early signs of aging or looking to refine your silhouette post-weight loss, ThermiTight in Reston VA may be the ideal solution to restore your confidence.

What Is ThermiTight?

ThermiTight is a revolutionary radiofrequency (RF) treatment designed to tighten and smooth loose skin on the face and body. Unlike traditional surgical procedures, ThermiTight uses controlled thermal energy delivered via a small probe beneath the skin to heat targeted tissues, stimulating collagen production and shrinking fat cells.

This innovative approach provides long-lasting tightening and contouring without the downtime or scars associated with surgical interventions. At WellMedica, ThermiTight is performed by board-certified cosmetic laser surgeon Dr. Dima, ensuring expert results in a safe, medical-grade environment.

How ThermiTight Works

The ThermiTight procedure involves three key steps:

  1. Numbing the area: Local anesthesia is applied to ensure comfort during treatment.

  2. Inserting the probe: A tiny probe is placed under the skin through a small incision.

  3. Delivering heat: The device emits radiofrequency energy, heating the underlying tissues to a precise temperature, monitored in real-time for safety and effectiveness.

The heat stimulates fibroblasts to produce new collagen, which naturally tightens the skin over time. Patients often notice visible improvement in skin firmness and texture within weeks, with optimal results continuing to develop over several months.

  • Neck and jawline (for a more defined profile)

  • Lower face (to reduce jowls and fine lines)

  • Arms (to address “bat wings”)

  • Abdomen (for postpartum or post-weight loss laxity)

  • Thighs and knees

  • Bra-line or back rolls

Whether it’s the early stages of sagging or more noticeable skin looseness, ThermiTight in Reston VA at WellMedica is an ideal non-surgical alternative for natural-looking improvements.

Benefits of ThermiTight

Many patients opt for ThermiTight because it offers the sweet spot between visible results and minimal disruption to daily life. Key advantages include:

  • Minimally invasive: No general anesthesia or large incisions needed.

  • Single treatment: Most patients only require one session for noticeable results.

  • Minimal downtime: Return to normal activities within 24-48 hours.

  • Long-lasting results: Enhanced collagen production leads to gradual improvement for 6-12 months post-procedure.

  • Natural-looking outcomes: Results appear subtly and gradually, avoiding the “overdone” look.

Who Is a Good Candidate?

The ideal candidate for ThermiTight is someone who:

  • Has mild to moderate skin laxity but isn’t ready for surgery

  • Is experiencing early signs of aging in the lower face or body

  • Wants a minimally invasive treatment with minimal downtime

  • Maintains a healthy lifestyle and realistic expectations

During your consultation at WellMedica in Reston VA, Dr. Dima will assess your concerns and determine if ThermiTight is the right solution for your goals.

ThermiTight vs. Other Skin Tightening Treatments

While there are several options on the market for skin tightening—including lasers, ultrasound, and microneedling RF—ThermiTight stands out for its deeper, controlled thermal delivery and higher precision.

Unlike surface-level treatments that may require multiple sessions, ThermiTight works beneath the skin’s surface to trigger robust collagen remodeling. It’s particularly effective for patients with more significant laxity or those who’ve had less success with other non-invasive treatments.

What to Expect After ThermiTight

Recovery from ThermiTight is quick and manageable. Mild swelling or bruising at the treatment site is normal but usually resolves within a few days. Patients are advised to avoid intense exercise or heat exposure for a few days, but most return to daily routines shortly after treatment.

Results start to appear within weeks and improve progressively over 3-6 months as collagen is replenished. Many patients continue to see improvement for up to a year following the procedure.

Combining ThermiTight with Other Treatments

To enhance the effects of ThermiTight, many patients at WellMedica in Reston VA choose to pair it with other cosmetic treatments:

  • Dermal fillers for volume restoration

  • Botox® to soften expression lines

  • Body contouring procedures like CoolSculpting

  • Microneedling with PRP for texture refinement

  • Hormonal optimization or IV therapy for holistic rejuvenation

At WellMedica, Dr. Dima creates comprehensive treatment plans that align your aesthetic, wellness, and anti-aging goals.

Developing early signs of aging can make us frustrated. Are you noticing loose skin along the jawline and neck or even saggy skin on other parts of the body? Different factors like hormonal changes, sun exposure, changes in weight, and even our genetics can be a cause, and fighting the aging battle can always feel like a losing one. Luckily, with advanced technology, there are treatments that are designed to help improve skin laxity and pockets of fatty tissue. It’s a minimally invasive alternative for skin tightening and body contouring called ThermiTight.

ThermiTight is formally described as “thermistor-controlled subdermal skin tightening,” which basically means that regulated heat is targeted at the collagen layer of the skin using radiofrequency energy. To get under the skin, the ThermiRF™ system is used along with a tiny probe, called the SmartTip™ thermistor probe, which is inserted just below the surface.

Dr. Dima delivers radiofrequency energy into the area through gentle movements, which heats the subdermal tissue to a specific internal temperature. She uses the thermal image guidance to monitor external temperatures and ensure the safety of the skin. Most procedures last less than an hour and are followed up with a gentle wrap. As for downtime post-ThermiTight treatment, you should be able to resume normal activities as early as the next day.

In just 3 - 5 weeks, you will start to notice an overall improvement in the look of your treated areas that will last up to 5 years or more! ThermiTight is great for individuals who have moderate skin laxity and want results without invasive surgery or downtime.

ThermiTight can reverse the signs of aging in areas including:

  • Neck
  • Chin and jowls (double chin)
  • Upper arms
  • Breasts
  • Abdomen
  • Back
  • Love handles
  • Thighs
  • Knees

The ThermiTight procedure typically only requires a single treatment and is done in the office under local anesthesia. However, a repeat treatment can be performed after 6 months if desired, as this is when maximum results are visible.

The cost of ThermiTight treatments starts at $3,500. There are a variety of factors that determine overall price. To ensure that your ThermiTight procedure is affordable, we accept a variety of payment methods including special financing plans.

A week prior to your ThermiTight treatment:

  • Ensure that your body is hydrated. Drink at least 8 ounces of water every day for 1 week prior to your treatment.
  • In case you already had other cosmetic procedures done on the targeted area, avoid undergoing ThermiTight treatment for at least 1 month.
  • Avoid consuming alcohol at least 48 hours prior to your session.
  • Stop using exfoliating skin care products including those that contain retinoids, AHAs, BHAs, or other active ingredients.
  • Ensure that you discuss all your currently used medications and supplements with Dr. Dima.

Immediately after a treatment:

  • Rest for at least 12 hours.
  • Do not undertake any strenuous activity for the next 2 - 3 days.
  • If you are experiencing soreness or swelling, apply ice to the treated area.
  • You may experience drainage. Change the dressing every 4 - 6 hours. The drainage usually lasts for 24 hours - 72 hours post-treatment.
  • Stay hydrated and follow a healthy routine to get the maximum results from your procedure.

ThermiTight is an FDA-approved technology that delivers exceptional results without undergoing major surgery. The ThermiTight procedure is minimally invasive, requires only local anesthesia, and poses little to no downtime.

I absolutely love love love my results from my skin tightening procedures. I moved here a few months ago and I was looking for maintenance treatments, not only for my face but for my body as well. I wanted to start early and be finished before summer so that I felt comfortable wearing a bikini since I’ve packed on a few pandemic pounds. I feel so confident now in the way I look thanks to Dr. Dima and her team. She came highly recommend from a close friend whom I trust, and she was right...Dr. Dima is top notch!
