Maintaining taut, clear and youthful-looking skin can be difficult for those who have thin skin or excess body fat. However, there are a number of skin tightening treatments that increase collage production and reduce skin laxity, helping to sculpt facial contours while reducing the appearance of wrinkles.
ReFirme is one of the latest anti-aging skin treatments available, and uses Syneron’s proprietary elos technology to deliver high-energy light and radio frequency waves deep into the skin’s surface. These waves heat up the dermal tissue and accelerate collagen production, which makes skin appear smoother, tighter and more youthful.
If you’ve been considering facelift surgery or other
skin rejuvenation treatments, consider these benefits of the ReFirme skin tightening system:
How ReFirme Works
The ReFirme applicator delivers a painless treatment deep into the skin’s layers, and works by heating up the dermal tissues rapidly so that the body senses an injury. This ‘damage’ then triggers rapid collagen production as the body attempts to heal itself quickly; after a few days and weeks, the deeper skin tissues are reformed and are much tighter and tauter. After a few treatments, the skin begins to become even stronger and tighter, creating a naturally smooth surface and making previously loose skin much firmer.
ReFirme can be used to tighten up loose skin around the jowels, cheekbones, nasolabial folds, and even around the eyes. The treatment is precise enough to target very small areas that require firming and tightening, and the energy waves do not harm or damage surrounding tissues.
Key Benefits of ReFirme
ReFirme can be used on almost any skin type and results are almost immediate. Other key benefits of the ReFirme skin tightening system include:
Luminous, even-toned skin - any signs of discoloration or patches of darkened skin can be dramatically reduced as the skin rebuilds itself after the ReFirme treatment.
Elimination or dramatic reduction in fine lines - fine lines around the eyes, nose and mouth are often treated with dermal fillers, but the ReFirme system can target these sensitive areas to create natural contours without needles or surgery.
Reduction of furrow or deep grooves – deep lines on the forehead or around the jawline can be treated with ReFirme, and the skin will appear much smoother and sculpted after a series of treatments.
Low cost – when compared to facelift surgery, ReFirme delivers results within a few short weeks at a fraction of the cost of surgery. Most people will continue to see results several weeks and months after the first treatment as the body continues to build collagen and the skin becomes stronger and healthier.
Quick procedure – the length of the treatment depends on the area being treated, but the majority of ReFirme treatments last between 45 minutes to 1 hour. Patients can return to work or other activities immediately afterwards, and few people experience visible side effects such as puffiness, swelling or redness.
