ReFirme skin tightening may be performed on any skin type. It is designed to work on the face and neck. It may also be combined with VelaShape body contouring to improve skin sagging in the arms and stomach area. This treatment cannot be performed on candidates who are pregnant, nursing or who have excessively tanned skin. There are other medical conditions that may prohibit your treatment. A full medical history will be taken by our skin care specialist to determine if you are a suitable candidate for ReFirme.

The combined Bi-Polar Radio Frequency and Light energies of elōs technology precisely heat the dermal tissue within the target treatment area. This stimulates collagen production and produces a firming effect in lax skin. Fine wrinkles are reduced, noticeable lifting can be observed and the texture of your skin becomes smoother, more luminous and toned. For the most dramatic results you can combine this treatment with the Matrix IR Wrinkle Reduction procedure and the Color Correction treatment. This Triniti Facial Rejuvenation is your best weapon against the aging process.

We ask that you avoid tanning in the sun, tanning booths or with a self tanner for a minimum of two weeks prior to your treatment. Stop using any topical agents that cause skin irritation, such as Retin A preparations, 2-3 days before your treatment. On the day of your treatment avoid using any lotion, make-up, perfume, and powder or bath oil on the skin in the area to be treated. Be sure to inform our staff if you have a history of herpes simplex (fever blisters).

Your skin will be cleaned and you will be given protective glasses to wear during your treatment. A layer of gel will be applied to your face. You will feel a progressive heating sensation during your treatment. It may get slightly uncomfortable but should never be painful.

The number of skin tightening treatments needed depends on the client and typically varies between 3-5 sessions once every 4 weeks. More sessions may be needed for aged skin.

Some redness and swelling can be expected. Use cold compresses to help reduce these symptoms. During the first two days following treatments wash the area, gently avoiding the use of abrasive or harsh products and excessive heat. If superficial crusting appears do not rub or scratch the area. Cleanse the area gently and pat dry. You should use a high factor sunscreen and protect the area from sunlight for at least two weeks.

In order to maintain optimal results you will need to have occasional maintenance treatments. The average client will require a touch up treatment every 6 months. The frequency of treatments needed will be dependent on genetics but also many factors under your control. If you avoid sun exposure, use good skin care products and avoid smoking you may need treatments less frequently. No clinic should promise permanent results. Nothing stops the aging process but our treatments may slow the development of the visible signs associated with aging.
