Syneron ReFirme Skin Tightening And Facial Wrinkle Reduction Treatment At Metamorphosis Day Spa

Lift years off their faces without surgery

A revolutionary new technology from Syneron, Refirme™ combines radiofrequency (RF) with infrared (IR) light. During treatment, the two work synergistically to gently heat the skin in the area the hand piece is applied to. The outcome is two fold: immediate tightening of the existing collagen fibers in the skin provide a visible lift and firming of sagging skin! The effect is so noticeable, that it has my patients gasp from joy and disbelief when I show them the mirror half way through (comparing treated to untreated side) and at the end of the session. But wait, there is more to this! What you see, as impressive as it is, is not all that you get! The long term effect is also important: the skin perceives the treatments as a sign that it needs to rejuvenate itself and revs up collagen production for 6-12 months after the last treatment! Thus the immediate tightening effect is followed by a lasting regeneration and improvement.

Syneron Refirme™ ST can be used to gently lift and tighten the nasolabial lines, the jowls, soften the crows feet and elevate the eyebrows, with no surgery required. Body areas such as loose skin around the belly button, inner arms and inner thighs have also been responsive to the treatment

Best of all, the procedure involves minimal discomfort (however, we do offer topical anesthetic cream to those who prefer it). This is completely different from other technologies, such as Thermage, that have been reported to be rather painful, and often have to be preformed under sedation. Those technologies are also considered by experts to be less safe and with significant potential side effects. The technical reason behind this is the difference in technology. The bipolar RF utilized by Refirme™ ensures safety by allowing the RF to pass only between the two poles of the hand piece platform, limiting the RF effect only to that small, well defined area. Thermage on the other hand utilizes monopolar RF, which keeps traveling, until the natural resistance of the skin wears out its energy. This becomes significant in areas such as around the eyes, where precision is extremely important, or the neck, where excessive monopolar RF was shown to cause thinning of the fat layer and leave depressions. The Syneron Refirme™ treatments are also less time consuming than Titan, a different technology, using IR without the help of RF.

But most importantly, the immediate visible improvement is unparalleled by any other technology! Lasting results take approximately 5 in-office treatments with Syneron Refirme™ ST. After each treatment, you are up and ready to continue your day, perhaps a bit rosy cheeked, but with no downtime required. The only thing you have to lose is that loose skin!
