Thighs & Buttocks

Available Treatments
How to Treat Thighs & Buttocks Concerns
At Key Laser Institute, we offer non-surgical treatment for the buttocks and thighs to help you firm and tone excess skin and eliminate unwanted fat without needing thigh lift surgery, liposuction, or other cosmetic procedures. And you never have to worry about surgical scarring.
CoolSculpting®
CoolSculpting is an FDA-approved treatment that uses intense cold to freeze and crystallize unwanted fat cells. Once the fat cells in the thighs and buttocks are frozen, the body will naturally eliminate them over time, leaving you with the slender physique you’re seeking.
Ultherapy
With ultherapy, we apply ultrasound technology to the thighs and buttocks. The energy reaches the deep layers of tissues in these targeted areas and stimulates collagen production, tightening and repairing the skin and leaving you with a firmer, smoother, and more youthful appearance.
As ultherapy is effective on all skin types, it’s a perfect treatment for almost everyone with sagging skin.
ThermiTight
ThermiTight is a skin-tightening treatment that was developed by Dr. Key and uses radiofrequency energy applied underneath the skin to stimulate the production of collagen and elastin. By producing more collagen, this minimally-invasive procedure works to strengthen and tighten loose skin.
Am I a Candidate for Thigh & Buttocks Treatments?
Ideal candidates for thigh and buttocks treatments are individuals in generally good health, nonsmokers, and those with realistic expectations who are struggling with excess fat or sagging skin around the thigh and buttock area. These treatments aren’t recommended for women who are pregnant or breastfeeding.
What to Expect from Thigh & Buttocks Treatments
Before Your Thigh & Buttocks Treatment
Prior to your thigh and buttocks treatment, you’ll want to avoid smoking, alcohol, and blood thinners. You’ll also want to limit your exposure to the sun and stay hydrated. On the day of treatment, make sure to dress comfortably.
During Your Thigh & Buttocks Treatment
What occurs during your treatment will depend on the type of treatment you’re having. For CoolSculpting, we’ll apply the handpiece directly to your skin. You’ll first feel cold and then numbness in the treatment area. Treatment can take up to an hour.
For ultherapy, we’ll cleanse the skin and apply the device. You’ll likely only feel a warm or tingling sensation. A topical anesthetic can be applied if needed, but most patients tolerate treatment very well. Ultherapy can take 45 minutes to a few hours, depending on the areas being treated.
With ThermiTight treatment, Dr. Key will apply a local anesthetic for your comfort. He’ll then insert a small needle under the skin. That’s what emits the radiofrequency energy to the tissues. You will likely only feel light pressure or a warming sensation. Treatment typically takes 1-3 hours.
After Your Thigh & Buttocks Treatment
After treatment, you will likely have some redness, mild swelling, bruising, and tenderness, but these side effects will subside relatively quickly. With CoolSculpting and ultherapy, you can return to your normal activities within 48 hours. With ThermiTight, the recovery time is usually a little longer. You may need to wait a few days before returning to work and your regular level of activity.
While you may see results after just one treatment, most patients need multiple treatments for optimal results.
With CoolSculpting, you’ll want to stick to a healthy lifestyle to maintain your results. While the fat that’s eliminated will not come back, if you gain weight, it can negatively affect your results.
Additionally, ultherapy and ThermiTight treatment will not stop the natural aging process, so as you age, you may see some sagging skin return.
