ReFirme™
Skin Tightening Treatment
Frequently Asked Questions
What Is
The ReFirme Skin Tightening (ReFirme ST) Treatment?
The ReFirme ST treatment combines safe and effective levels of infrared
light and bipolar radio frequency (electric current) energies to remodel the
dermal layer of the skin by stimulating new collagen growth. Both laser and
radio frequency have been used separately for decades in medicine and surgery,
but ReFirme ST exclusively combines infrared light and bipolar radio frequency
energy for ideal treatment outcomes with a very low risk of side effects and
virtually no downtime.
What Can I Expect From
ReFirme ST Treatments?
ReFirme ST can improve skin laxity and sagginess of the face, neck and some
body areas such as abdomen or upper arms. Skin texture can also be smoothed
out by the tightening and firming effect of treatment. This treatment is performed
non-ablatively, which means this is a non-invasive procedure. Most people
leave the Clinic with only slight pinkness or no pinkness at all. You can
return to work immediately.
How Many Treatments
Are Required?
Most patients will have between 3-5 treatments.
How Often Are Treatments
Done?
Treatment sessions are typically 2-4 weeks apart.
How Long Do Treatments
Take?
Each treatment session typically takes 30 minutes.
Does Treatment Hurt?
No. The ReFirme ST procedure is well-tolerated by most patients without any
topical anesthetic or other means of analgesia. The treatment tip is chilled
so it provides contact cooling to the skin surface for added comfort.
Who Should be Treated
With The ReFirme ST Procedure?
All skin colors can be treated with the ReFrime ST for laxity, sagginess,
loss of elasticity, or textural irregularities. Treatment can be done on the
face, neck, or certain body areas. Individual patient candidacy should be
discussed with your clinician.
Are There Any Risks
To Treatment?
Any medical aesthetic procedure has risks for side effects such as superficial
blistering, crusting, and pigmentary changes in the skin. These risks are
rare and when noticed, they are usually quickly resolved. All treatments are
administered by trained medical professionals and/or licensed CIDESCO aestheticians.
How Much Does It Cost?
Treatments are highly customized based upon your goals. During your free and
private consultation, your clinician will work with you to develop a treatment
plan that meets your needs.
