If you’ve noticed your skin starting to lose firmness on areas like your abdomen, thighs, or arms, you’re not alone. Skin laxity is a natural part of aging—but thanks to today’s advanced technologies, it can be improved without surgery or downtime.
At Skin MD and Beyond in Plano, TX, Dr. Fiona Wright offers two leading non-surgical treatments for skin tightening and contouring: VelaShape and ThermiShape. Both use innovative energy-based technologies to stimulate collagen production, firm loose skin, and smooth body contours for a younger, more toned appearance.
How VelaShape Works
VelaShape combines four technologies — infrared light, bipolar radiofrequency (RF), mechanical massage, and vacuum suction — to target the deeper layers of the skin. The infrared and RF energy gently heat the tissue, stimulating new collagen and elastin production, while the suction and massage improve circulation and lymphatic drainage.
Over a series of treatments, this process helps firm lax skin, reduce cellulite, and contour areas like the abdomen, thighs, flanks, and buttocks. Treatments are comfortable and feel like a warm, deep-tissue massage, with no downtime afterward.
How ThermiShape Works
ThermiShape also uses radiofrequency energy, but it focuses it more precisely to heat the underlying tissue and trigger collagen remodeling. By delivering controlled thermal energy, ThermiShape tightens existing collagen fibers and encourages your body to produce new ones, gradually improving skin tone and elasticity.
It’s an excellent option for treating loose skin on the stomach, upper arms, neck, and other areas prone to sagging. Most patients notice firmer, smoother skin within weeks, with continued improvement over several months as collagen continues to build.
Which Treatment Is Right for You?
Both VelaShape and ThermiShape are non-invasive, comfortable, and require no recovery time. The right choice depends on your goals and skin type: VelaShape is ideal for combining tightening and cellulite reduction, while ThermiShape focuses more on firming and contour refinement. During your consultation, Dr. Wright will assess your skin and design a personalized plan that may include one or both treatments for optimal results.
