Is ReFirme Skin Tightening Safe?

The Elos laser used in ReFirme skin tightening treatments has been given approval by the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) as an effective, non-surgical treatment procedure to smooth wrinkles, reduce the sagging of skin tissue and to stimulate the development of collagen within internal layers of the skin.   ReFirme treatments are entirely non-surgical and non-invasive.  The ReFirme wand does not penetrate the skin and there is no bleeding, no risk of infection and no post-surgical recovery time.  In fact, most ReFirme patients can return to their normal activities the same day as their treatment.

The ReFirme device works by simultaneously applying two different heat sources.  The first heat source used is light energy which relaxes the top layers of your skin.  The second heat source is known as RF (radiofrequency) heat, and is designed to stimulate the production of collagen in the deeper levels of the skin.  Dermal temperature monitoring allows the anesthetician to minimize the discomfort to the patient.

Ramie A. Tritt, M.D., Medical Director of the Tritt Aesthetic & Plastic Center in Atlanta, Georgia, notes that the ReFirme treatment causes minimal discomfort.  "My patients are awake, during the ReFirme treatment," comments Dr. Tritt.  "No anesthetics are used, and no pain relievers are necessary.  Patients report a sensation of warmth on the skin being treated but this is not at all uncomfortable.  The ReFirme equipment we use is state of the art and the device manufacturer, Syneron, has put a great deal of emphasis on patient comfort."

ReFirme has been used without any reported complication or adverse reaction in hundreds of medical clinics throughout the world.  "We conducted extensive research on this product and I took treatment myself to confirm the device's safety, comfort and effectiveness," says Dr. Tritt.  "The safety and comfort of my patients is my primary concern and I stand behind the ReFirme treatment fully."
