Questions, Answers, and Information Directly from Dr. Roberta Gartside

Sourced directly from Dr. Roberta Gartside's social posts and replies.

What is Thermi RF technology and how does it work?
Thermi RF is a versatile radiofrequency platform that offers non-invasive treatments for the face, body, and women’s wellness. It functions by gently heating the skin to activate the body's natural collagen response, a process termed 'Energy Enhanced Biology.' This therapy boosts the body's inherent healing abilities by increasing oxygen-rich blood flow to tissues, fueling cellular repair, and triggering cells to release protective Heat Shock Proteins. These proteins reduce inflammation and jumpstart recovery. With more oxygen and healing signals, the body produces more collagen and repairs tissue faster and stronger, leading to firmer, more elastic, and youthful skin. Treatments are comfortable and require no downtime.
What is ThermiSmooth and what are its benefits?
ThermiSmooth is a non-invasive radiofrequency treatment that gently tightens and smooths skin, stimulating collagen production for a naturally refreshed look. It's suitable for men and women seeking results without surgery, addressing concerns like fine lines, skin laxity (including after weight loss), and neck tightening. The treatment feels like a warm massage, involves no needles or numbing, and has zero downtime. Patients may notice an immediate lift and smoother skin, with continued improvement as new collagen develops over weeks.
What is ThermiVa and what are its benefits for feminine wellness?
ThermiVa is a non-invasive, comfortable treatment using gentle, temperature-controlled radiofrequency to stimulate natural collagen production. It supports tissue rejuvenation, improves comfort, and enhances overall feminine wellness, all without surgery or downtime.

Industry Payments

Federal law (the Physician Payments Sunshine Act) requires drug and medical-device companies to report anything of value they give to a physician — consulting and speaking fees, research funding, travel, royalties, and even meals. Medicare publishes all of it in a public database called Open Payments. We show it here so you don't have to go looking for it.

Total received (2025)

$514

Payments

Compared to peers

Modest

Dr. Roberta Gartside received $514 across 3 payments in 2025. That is higher than about 57% of the physicians here who received any industry payment. Most of it was categorised as food and beverage, and the largest single payer was Access Pro Medical, LLC.

What this means for your care

  • A disclosed payment is a business relationship, not evidence of wrongdoing, and it says nothing on its own about the quality of your care.
  • Most payments are small. Across the physicians listed on NavMDs, the single most common category is food and beverage at industry-sponsored talks.
  • Larger consulting, speaking or royalty payments mean an ongoing financial relationship with a company whose products your doctor may use or recommend. That is worth knowing about, and it is reasonable to ask about.
  • A fair question to ask: “Do you have a financial relationship with the maker of the implant, filler or device you're recommending — and what alternatives did you consider?”
