Skin tightening procedures such as Thermage and Titan continue to be popular anti-aging treatments for those who want smoother, tighter and younger looking skin. ReFirme is one of the latest skin tightening treatments that has entered the market, and promises to ‘tighten, tone, and elevate’ the skin with its revolutionary elos technology. 

This FDA-approved treatment offers a convenient, non-invasive alternative to a facelift and other skin rejuvenation treatments. Here’s a closer look at how ReFirme skin tightening procedures work:  

How ReFirme Skin Tightening Treatments Work  

Heating up the dermal layer of skin tissues to create ‘injury’ the treatment site is becoming a popular treatment method in skin rejuvenation, and these heat and laser procedures are becoming a valuable alternative to painful surgery for many.

Collagen is the natural compound  in the body that helps the skin stay elastic and smooth; since collagen production slows down with age, any type of stimulating treatment can help increase the rate of collagen growth and improve the overall texture and tone of the skin. Today’s innovative laser and energy devices are used to reach deep within the skin’s layers to encourage collagen production.

ReFirme is just one of several innovative treatments that help to damage the skin tissue and encourage a complete restructuring of the skin tissue and fibers from within; the result is smoother, more toned and younger looking skin in the treatment site.

Key Benefits of ReFirme for Skin Rejuvenation  

ReFirme can be used on the face, neck, abdomen and even the upper arms to reduce sagging and even out the skin tone. Since it is designed to deliver targeted energy waves to each treatment area, the surgeon may be able to reach common trouble spots such as the underarm area, fine lines around the eyes, and even some areas around the stomach.

Other benefits of ReFirme include:  

No needles or surgery required – the entire treatment is administered from outside the body

Targeted and precise treatment – the heat and energy waves emitted from the ReFirme device are designed to penetrate deep within the skin’s layers and only cause injury to the essential tissues. This may be why ReFirme is considered to be a safe and effective procedure.

No drugs required – no pills or supplements necessary for the ReFirme skin tightening treatment to work.

Can be used on all skin types – even those with sensitive or colored skin can benefit from a series of ReFirme treatments as the energy waves reach the deepest layers of skin tissues and do not damage the surrounding tissue and muscle fibers

Low risk of injury to the epidermis – unlike some laser treatments that can leave scars after injuring the top layer of skin, ReFirme only works by emitting bi-polar radio frequency and optical energy inside the skin tissues

No discomfort or pain – the ReFirme device actually cools the skin’s surface as it works, making ReFirme a pain-free option for skin tightening    

Whether you’re looking for a body contouring treatment or a mini facelift, ReFirme may be a valuable skin rejuvenation treatment for you.
