ReFirme is a non invasive treatment for wrinkles and lax skin that uses the innovative elos technology. The treatment is a less painful alternative for more invasive surgery or a facelift. If you are considering this type of treatment, you need to get informed on the FDA approval status for ReFirme.
FDA Approval Status for ReFirme
As of March 2006, ReFirme has received FDA approval and may be used as a cosmetic procedure. The FDA clearance was given to the ST applicator, which is employed during the ReFirme treatment.
The ST applicator is a device that delivers short pulses at a frequency of 1 pulse per minute. The device will deliver energy, which will heat the skin and reduce wrinkles on the skin, significantly reducing the excess skin. After a ReFirme treatment, the skin will also be smoother. ReFirme may be combined with other cosmetic treatments, and to be safe, check the FDA approval status for all of these procedures.
Side Effects
When compared to other types of cosmetic procedures, ReFirme has fewer side effects and practically no risks. The ReFirme treatment doesn’t cause any pain or discomfort, but may result in minor irritation and swelling, which will subside within a few days.
