Refirme treatment has many benefits, although most are cosmetic due to the nature of the procedure. A skin-tightening procedure, Refirme is gentle, effective and non-invasive, and helps many people regain a more youthful appearance in a short, 45-minute to one hour session.
How Refirme Works
Refirme uses a combination of bi-polar radio frequency (RF) and laser technology. A cooling system that works on contact with the skin keeps temperatures from building too high and increases the comfort for the patient. The optical, or laser light, element of the treatment heats carefully targeted areas that are then treated with RF. The result is tighter, firmer skin and a noticeable reduction of wrinkles.
Refirme can be used on the face to treat wrinkles, including nasolabial folds. It can also help tighten loose jowls or droopiness in the cheeks.
Cosmetic Benefits of Refirme
Refirme is most effective on fine lines and wrinkles. It can also firm and tighten skin and improve its appearance by stimulating collagen growth in the lower skin layers. Wrinkles are reduced or disappear, and the skin regains elasticity lost to age. The results from Refirme are similar to those gained from skin tightening techniques that rely completely on lasers. However, the recovery time is significantly less than with laser skin tightening. In fact, no downtime is necessary after Refirme. Results can be seen immediately, although some more stubborn wrinkles might require more than one treatment.
The end result of a Refirme treatment or series of treatments is tighter, firmer skin, fewer wrinkles, less sagging and an overall more youthful appearance.
Health Benefits of Refirme
One reason Refirme is so effective is that it stimulates the body to produce more collagen. Collagen is the connective tissue beneath the skin that helps it remain taut and elastic. As we age, collagen breaks down and is not reliably replaced, leading to wrinkles, sagging skin and a drooping appearance, especially where skin is naturally somewhat loose such as in the neck and jowl area.
Refirme encourages the body to naturally produce collagen. When the system of support tissue under the skin is rebuilt, the skin itself looks tighter and healthier because it has been restored to a condition similar to what it looked like when you were younger. Skin tightened with Refirme is also supported by the body's natural collagen, making you look and feel younger and healthier.
The unique approach Refirme uses is virtually painless. It is also gentle enough to treat loose, bagging skin under the eyes and on the neck. There is no downtime after a Refirme treatment--you can go about your daily routine immediately after the treatment is completed. A typical Refirme treatment takes about 45 minutes, so it is possible to receive a treatment over a lunch hour and return to work immediately after. Also, unlike some other skin tightening treatments, Refirme is safe for all skin colors and types.
A Refirme treatment can help you look your best, reducing any self-consciousness you may experience because of facial wrinkles or sagging. With no invasive surgery, no downtime and virtually no discomfort, you can once again look as young as you feel.
