A combination of bi-polar radiofrequency energy (compare with the uni-polar radiofrequency employed by Thermage) and infrared light energy ( compare with Titan) synergized by ELOS technology are focused approximately 4 mm below the sin surface, an area in which the skin’s structural protein , collagen tissue is located.

This precisely focused energy heats collagen, producing tightening of existing strands and inducing formation of new collagen that translates into firming and tightening of the skin surface (but not comparable to a surgical facelift). The procedure is effective for all skin types.

Most patients notice gradual and cumulative results throughout the ReFirm ST treatment series -- 3-5 treatments administered 2-4 weeks apart—(see sample photo 7). The total number or treatments depends upon your skin’s pretreatment condition.

ReFirm is a gentle, comfortable office procedure performed with both topical (cream) anesthesia and a cool mist of air flowing over the treated area. It is often performed at the same time as tht FotoFacial RF PRO offering benefits of both skin firming and complexion correction. The vast majority of patients have no ‘downtime” and many return to work or other activities immediately after treatment.
