ReFirme™ ST is an exciting new treatment utilizing the synergy of light and radiofrequency energy to achieve improved skin tightening compared to previously available non-invasive treatments. This technology is exclusive to the ReFirme™ ST from Syneron. The goal is to reduce the signs of aging skin:

• Tighten Facial and Neck skin

• Complement the results possible with FotoFacial RF treatments
   

This treatment is for men and women ages 30 and over who want improved tone and less wrinkles without the downtime of more invasive and aggressive therapies. After a careful assessment of your skin we can help you determine if this is right for you. This procedure can be done in isolation or as part of a comprehensive approach to skin rejuvenation that may include advanced skin care and other treatments such as Vitamin Facials, Microdermabrasion and FotoFacial RF™. These treatments can be beneficial for the following cosmetic skin concerns:

1. Fine lines and wrinkles of the face and neck

2. Skin laxity

3. Prominent pores

4. Acne scarring

5. Maintenance of surgical results
    

Of course, the degree of improvement will be different for everyone and depends on the number of treatments and the time interval.

1. Fine wrinkles are reduced

2. Lifting is usually noticeable after each treatment

3. Skin tone becomes firmer while remaining elastic

4. Texture will become smoother
    

The treatments are simple, office-based procedures with little or no down time. Unlike other systems designed to non-invasively tighten skin, ReFirme™ ST treatments are relatively comfortable and require no medications, topical anesthetics or “patient toughness”. The treatment area is covered with a thin layer of cool, clear gel and the damaged areas of the face and neck are treated. This application of light and electrical energy stimulates the production of your own new collagen and shrinks existing collagen in the dermis. Each treatment takes about 30-45 minutes. Each pulse lasts less than half a second and causes a very tolerable sting with a warming sensation. The changes in the skin are incremental with each treatment and most clients show best results after a series of five treatments separated by a three-week period. This provides sufficient time between treatments for your skin to begin the repair of damage caused by aging and sun exposure. All skin colors can be treated and you do not need to delay treatments if you have had some sun exposure or tanning. Patients need to understand that gentler treatments are designed to stimulate your skin to rejuvenate itself. Consequently, the process takes time and the rate and degree of improvement is different in every patient.

You can usually return to all activity within one hour of treatment.
