Skin Tightening in Manhattan & Brooklyn

Skin aging is the process of losing elasticity, skin laxity, sagging, and depletion of skin protein which is called collagen.

Loss of collagen results in loss of skin volume, appearance of fine lines, wrinkles and laxity. The mid part of the skin, dermis, supplies nutrients to the skin and has many blood vessels. Lymph vessels take away debris; sweat glands regulate the temperature of the body; nerve endings are sensitive to touch, pressure and pain; hair follicles also lie in same area. The building material which binds and supports all these structures is collagen and it is depleted by aging.

The goal is to restore collagen. The ReFirme™ ST applicator with the eMax technology uses a combination of infrared light and Bi-Polar Radio frequency. Treatment is well tolerated by all skin types. The procedure works by heating the dermis which initiates a response to build new collagen. Results can be seen immediately.

There are many parts of the body where this procedure can be applied: mainly on the face, but also on hands, arms, décolleté, abdomen, and legs.

Mild swelling and redness after the procedure is a good sigh which indicates that new collagen will be built up.
Skin Tightening starts immediately and will go on for 6 months to 10 months. The procedure is not invasive, as opposed to surgery with cuts, anesthesia, suturing, wound care and scars.

Treated areas look younger and stronger.

Our Midtown Elegance Laser Center is listed as a ReFirme Skin Tightening Center. A series of 4-6 treatments 3-4 weeks apart is the average recommended for good results. Often used in combination with Skin Rejuvenation.
