Concerned with fine lines, wrinkles, and mild sagging in the delicate and harder-to-reach areas of your face, such as around the eyes and mouth? With ThermiSmooth skin tightening at La Jolla Cosmetic Surgery Centre & Medical Spa, San Diego men and women can benefit from the same technology used by ThermiTight™ to treat more areas than ever!
ThermiSmooth is a small, handheld applicator that improves the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and moderate sagging or laxity on the face, all without surgery. It harnesses your body’s natural ability to heal itself to safely and effectively undo common signs of aging.
ThermiSmooth is a wonderful option for people who want to reduce visible signs of aging on the face but aren’t quite ready for surgery or don’t need a more invasive treatment to achieve their desired results. If you answer “yes” to any of the following questions, ThermiSmooth may be the perfect fit for you:
The best way to determine if ThermiSmooth is right for you is to talk with an experienced laser and skincare specialist about your options during a one-on-one consultation. They’ll answer all your questions and help you find the perfect treatment fit for you.

Try Our Treatment PlannerDid you know that when you heat collagen—the main structural protein in your skin—it shrinks and your body’s natural healing response is triggered? When this happens, the fibroblasts in the area are stimulated to gradually produce new collagen, leading to a firmer, smoother appearance of the skin.
Using the proprietary Thermi radiofrequency technology, ThermiSmooth delivers very precise amounts of heat energy to the treatment areas without discomfort or harm to surrounding tissues. This energy goes through the skin and directly targets the fibroblasts located in deeper skin layers. Once treated, you’ll notice your skin looking younger week after week.
We’ll start by applying a small amount of coupling gel before placing the ThermiSmooth applicator against your skin’s surface. Your specialist will gently move the handpiece in a circular or sweeping motion along the treatment area as your skin is gradually heated. Once your skin’s temperature matches the target temperature, the energy output is automatically adjusted to deliver precise, controlled heating.
Many people say the experience feels like receiving a gentle, warm massage. Don’t worry about things getting too heated; to make sure you’re safe and comfortable, we’ll set the system to a very specific temperature and monitor you from start to finish.
It only takes about 5 minutes to treat each area or “zone” with enough sustained heating to create the results you’ve been dreaming of.
Since 1988, more than 36,000 patients have had safe, successful procedures at La Jolla Cosmetic Surgery Centre & Medical Spa.
Because the treatment takes place at the surface of your skin, you shouldn’t experience any swelling, bruising, or side effects, and you can get back to your normal activities right away. Your results will gradually improve over time as more and more collagen is produced in the area.
Typically, people benefit most from a series of 4 to 6 treatments, and you’ll likely be happy with your results for years to come.
At our medical spa in San Diego, the cost of ThermiSmooth is typically $300 to $800. The final price of your ThermiSmooth treatment will depend on a number of factors, including your specific goals, the severity of your concerns, and how many treatments you need to get optimal results.
During your complimentary consultation, we’ll give you a ballpark estimate price based on our recommended treatment plan. Get all the info you need about costs on our pricing page.
