In searching for procedures that can tighten skin and slow its aging painlessly and effectively, many are increasingly turning to non-invasive treatments that promote natural tissue regeneration. One of the newest and most popular procedures in this field is ThermiSmooth Face. This treatment, based on controlled radio frequency (RF), allows for the rejuvenation of the skin on the face, neck, and décolleté without needing scalpels, needles, and long recovery periods.

What is ThermiSmooth Face?
ThermiSmooth Face is a non-invasive aesthetic treatment that uses targeted low-frequency radio frequency (RF) energy to rejuvenate and tighten facial skin. The basis of the procedure lies in the use of high-intensity, focused ultrasound or RF waves that reach into the deeper layers of the skin—particularly the SMAS layer (superficial muscular aponeurotic system), where the muscles and connective tissue are located.
While many anti-aging treatments rely on chemical or mechanical methods, ThermiSmooth Face achieves a lifting effect through heat—by heating, it stimulates fibroblasts to increase collagen production, making the skin tighter, more elastic, and fresher in appearance.
Compared to older radio frequency technologies, ThermiSmooth Face has been enhanced to continuously monitor and control the temperature during treatment, further improving safety and comfort for the patient.
ThermiSmooth Face treatment has a dual function: it immediately tightens existing collagen through controlled thermal stimulation and, in the long term, encourages the creation of new, healthier collagen and elastin, resulting in a natural and lasting lifting effect.
How Does ThermiSmooth Face Work?
RF waves work by penetrating the skin’s surface and heating the deeper layers of the dermis. When the tissue reaches a certain temperature (usually between 42°C and 45°C), it leads to an immediate tightening (contraction) of collagen fibers. At the same time, the body initiates a natural regeneration process, signaling for the production of new collagen and elastin. In the long run, this mechanism leads to a gradual but noticeable effect of tightening, evening out the skin tone, and reducing wrinkles.
The heat delivered during the treatment is not aggressive, and thanks to safety mechanisms, the skin remains protected from overheating and potential adverse reactions. Patients usually feel a pleasant, diffused warmth, similar to a mild hot stone massage, as the device’s probe moves evenly across the face.
Which areas can be treated with this treatment?
ThermiSmooth Face is most commonly used for:
Mildly sagging skin on the face and neck: For individuals who notice the first signs of sagging under the jawline, on the cheeks, or on the neck.
Fine lines and wrinkles on the forehead, around the eyes, and lips: The treatment can successfully soften so-called ‘worry lines’, ‘frown lines’, drooping eyelids, ‘crow’s feet’, ‘laugh lines’, or nasolabial folds around the lips, thus giving the face a more rested appearance.
Who Is ThermiSmooth Face Intended For?
ThermiSmooth Face is ideal for those who notice the first signs of aging—fine lines, sagging skin, or loss of tone—but are not ready for invasive methods such as a facelift. It is especially popular among individuals in their thirties and forties, when the skin begins to lose elasticity but is still responsive enough to react to stimulation. However, it is not limited to this age group—it is also often chosen by those who want preventive action or simply wish to refresh their appearance before an important event.
The treatment is also an excellent choice for those with sensitive skin around the eyes, where dark circles, fine lines, or slightly sagging eyelids often appear. Additionally, it can help improve facial contours, such as defining the jawline or reducing a slight double chin. In short, if you are looking for a subtle but noticeable change without any risks, ThermiSmooth Face is the right ally.
The treatment is not suitable for people with more significant excess skin, who might benefit more from surgical facelifting. Also, individuals with cardiac issues, implanted pacemakers, or active skin infections should consult with a doctor to assess the safety of the procedure.
What You Can Expect During and After the Treatment
One of the biggest advantages of the ThermiSmooth Face treatment is its simplicity. The entire procedure lasts between 20 and 60 minutes, depending on the extent of the treated area.
After a detailed consultation with an expert, during which the condition of the skin is assessed and treatment goals are set, skin preparation follows, which includes thorough cleansing and the application of a contact gel. Then, the RF or focused ultrasound probe is placed on the targeted areas.
The aesthetic specialist uses gentle or circular movements with a special device (handheld applicator) that glides over the skin surface, gently heating it. The sensation of heat is usually pleasant and can be compared to the feeling of a warm massage. Most patients do not feel discomfort, and the temperature and intensity of the treatment are continuously adjusted to ensure maximum comfort. As the skin temperature reaches the target value, the Thermi RF computer automatically adjusts the power of the energy to provide precise heating.
Immediately after completing the ThermiSmooth Face treatment, you may notice slight redness and a sensation of warmth in the treated area, which usually disappear within a few hours. Thanks to the non-invasive nature of the treatment, you can immediately return to your daily activities.
The treatment is typically repeated once a week, in a recommended series of 3 to 6 sessions, to achieve optimal results, but the schedule may vary depending on the condition of the skin and expert recommendations. The achieved results can last up to several years, especially if maintained with periodic sessions.
When to Expect Results and How Long Do They Last?
The initial effects of the ThermiSmooth Face treatment can be seen after the first or second session, primarily as tighter and more radiant skin. However, the true, longer-lasting results are usually observed only after several weeks or even a month, when collagen regeneration intensifies. This process is gradual, allowing for a natural effect without sudden, drastic changes.
The duration of the results depends on lifestyle, genetic predisposition, and the age of the patient, but generally, the effects can be expected to last from 6 to 12 months. Regular maintenance treatments (once every few months) can extend the achieved results and keep the skin in the best possible condition.
