Comparison of SkinTite™ vs. Thermage vs. Endermologie

How was the Thermage Therma-Boost™ & SkinTite™ concepts conceived?
Dr. Pitera an Internationally recognized leader and an instructor of Mesotherapy, LipoDissolve and Aesthetic Medicine, has had great success with another combined therapy program LipoTite™ which he developed. The LipoTite™ program which uses a different radiofrequency technology combined with Mesotherapy. This program dramatically improves the appearance of Cellulite. Using knowledge gained from developing and refining the LipoTite™ technique, Dr. Pitera went on to develop the TummyTite™, SkinTite™ and the MesoLift-RF ™ treatment programs. As Cellulite, abdominal fat and sagging skin have different causes, treating them successfully requires a different approach for each. The Thermage
Therma-Boost™ program combines uni-polar radiofrequency with an individually customized skin tightening Mesotherapy formula.

How does the combined & SkinTite™ treatment enhance the individual effects of Thermage and Mesotherapy?
SkinTite™ successfully combines the bio-stimulating effects of Mesotherapy and Thermage. Thermage causes contraction of the collagen, which offers modest immediate skin tightening with continued collagen rebuilding and remodeling over the coming months. Rebuilding and remodeling requires the use of amino acids, enzymes, vitamins and other essential nutrients if it is to be successful. Mesotherapy treatments provides these amino acids, vitamins and other essential nutrients to the cells by micro-injecting them exactly where they are needed for skin rejuvenation. Each patient is evaluated and is given a customized treatment formula to maximize results. As radiofrequency and Mesotherapy tighten skin by different mechanisms, the combination therapy provides superb results.

Is SkinTite™ Safe?
Yes! Both Mesotherapy and Thermage have been around for many years. Millions have benefited from their individual treatments. Unipolar radiofrequency has a long history and has been used successfully by surgeons for years. Thermage unipolar radiofrequency used in the SkinTite™ treatment is an FDA approved device to tighten loose skin. Thermage has a proven, safe track record tightening the skin. There is a new Thermage treatment protocol, which is less aggressive using many smaller pulses of energy as opposed to one powerful one. The revised treatment along with the new larger treatment tips, have not only improved patient comfort but have minimized the risk of any potential side effects. Mesotherapy has been practiced for over 50 years and has an exemplary safety record.

How does the combined SkinTite™ treatment enhance the individual effects of Thermage and Mesotherapy?
SkinTite™ combines the bio-stimulating effects of unipolar radiofrequency (Thermage) and Mesotherapy. Thermage by itself rebuilds and remodels collagen as a result of its deep heating. Rebuilding and remodeling requires the use of amino acids, enzymes, vitamins and other essential nutrients if it is to be successful. Mesotherapy can enhance the Thermage treatment because it provides these essential amino acids, vitamins and other nutrients to the tissue exactly where they are needed. Each patient is evaluated and is given a customized treatment formula. The tightening effects of the Mesotherapy are enhanced as Thermage tightens the skin by directly heating the collagen causing it to contract. The combination therapy therefore offers superb results.

Is SkinTite™ a replacement for a Surgery?
SkinTite™ is only an option as it can tighten loose skin. It is not a full replacement for a Surgical procedure. It is ideal for the 30-65 year old that is beginning to show signs of skin sagging anywhere on their body. It is not suitable for someone who has just lost 100 pounds of weight and wishes a tighter stomach.

How does SkinTite™ compare with Endermologie?
There is no comparison. Endermologie is an old technology with a long history of giving poor results. The technology is similar to that used by washing machines in the early 20th century; using two rollers to provide high pressure. Here the rollers are used to painfully squeeze the skin. SkinTite™ offers cutting edge technology with a proven track record.

When do I see results?
Results will be seen after the very first SkinTite™ treatment. As both Thermage and Mesotherapy are Bio-stimulators, you will continue to see improvements over the following months.

Are the SkinTite™ treatments Painful?
There is some discomfort associated with this treatment. Medications are taken prior to the procedure to make the patient comfortable. Mild discomfort is experienced during the radiofrequency treatment. This is normal and is used to gauge the effectiveness of the treatment. Occasionally, Tylenol may be required but is usually taken only for a day or two if at all.

Are SkinTite™ treatments expensive*?
These treatments are not inexpensive but are a bargain when compared to Surgery or ineffective treatments that do not work. There is a lot of down-time associated with Surgery. This loss of work and pain add much to the cost of the treatment. There is little or no down-time associated with the SkinTite™ procedure, many can return to work the same day.

Remember, when comparing the true costs of the treatment you must not only consider the Surgeons fee but must also consider the additional costs of the Anesthesia, Operating Room Fees, the loss of work as well as the cost of strong pain medications. Taking all of these into account, SkinTite™ is clearly a better value.

Are SkinTite™ results permanent?
The SkinTite™ Program requires no maintenance treatments as long as you maintain your body weight. As we age, or bodies slowly change so you may wish additional treatments as you determine are necessary.

Can the SkinTite™ Treatment Program help me loose weight?
There is no substitute for diet and exercise. The SkinTite™ procedure is an inch loss skin- tightening program. We can assist you with a diet and exercise program.

Are treatment packages available?
Because of the unique nature and concept of the SkinTite™ usually only one or two treatments are required depending on the severity of your condition and how your body responds to the treatment.

Is there a fee for Consultation?
Consultations are complimentary with any treatment or if Dr. Pitera decides that you are not a good candidate for this procedure. If however you decide not to be treated, a $150 fee will be imposed. This fee may be used towards the payment of any other treatment that we offer. We believe that this is fair, as your initial consultation will last between 1/2 - 1 hour.
