ReFirme™ BEFORE & AFTER |
|
Achieve youthful, tightened and toned skin. Radio frequency and light energies precisely heat and penetrate the skin stimulating collagen production. Fine wrinkles are reduced, noticeable lifting and firming can be observed and the skin becomes more smooth and elastic! What areas can be improved with Refirme™ ST? Refirme™ ST can be used to gently tighten and lift the nasolabial folds, the jowls, elevate the eyebrows and by extension the upper eyelids, resulting in a more “open” looking face. The neck is a favorite area for many. Some patients like the treatments for tightening the belly button area, the inner thighs, the upper arms and around the knees. Do I need anesthesia for the Refirme™ ST? No. Refirme™ ST is a gentle treatment, requiring no pain relief with topical or other forms of anesthesia. This is quite different from the Thermage treatments, which are often not tolerated without the help of an anesthesiologist. This increases the cost, not to mention the risk. Would you recommend Refirme™ ST treatments for everyone? Any patient with minimal to moderate sagging is a good candidate for the lift without the knife. We treat women and men, ages ranging from their 30’s and into their 70’s, since everyone can benefit from the improvement in the quality of the skin resulting from the treatment. The only patients who are not candidates are those with pacemakers, which would be negatively impacted by the RF. How many treatments will I need? Initially, a series of 5 treatments spaced 4 weeks apart are ideal. We also have patients coming in before special events such as parties, media appearances, weddings or just special dates to get a quick tightening. |
