How does ReFirme™ Skin Tightening with elôs work? The combined Bi-Polar Radio Frequency and Infra-red Light energies of elôs technology precisely heat the connective tissue within the targeted treatment area. This stimulates collagen production, simultaneously firming loose skin as it diminishes fine wrinkles. You’ll see the lifting effect and feel how your skin becomes tighter, smoother, and more elastic. When can I expect to see results? Most people see a gradual and continual improvement over the course of their treatments. The total number of required sessions varies depending on the condition of your skin. During your initial consultation, our practitioner will personalise your treatment schedule for maximum results. Does it hurt?No. ReFirme skin tightening treatment is very comfortable and requires no topical anesthetics or other skin preparations. For your added safety and peace of mind, elôs technology features an advanced patient comfort system, which monitors your skin and keeps it at a soothing cool temperature during the procedure. Treatment with elôs is easy. There’s no surgery, no sedation, and no downtime. And most procedures take 60 minutes or less. How much does it cost? Treatment costs vary from $550.00 up to $1100.00 per treatment and from Three up to Five treatment sessions may be necessary. Our practitioner will go over these details with you during your initial consultation. Elos ReFirme SKIN TIGHTENING uses'non-chromophore' energies - meaning they do not interact with the skin's melanin. The advantage is that ReFirme can bypass the epidermis and directly heat the dermis. The main goal of this type of technology is to heat the dermis, stimulating collagen to contract and then allowing dermal remodelling to occur. After this contraction takes place, the skin usually has an oedema response (swelling) to cool down the dermis. This is a 'positive' post traumatic response (PTR) that usually lasts 1 to 2 weeks and helps to rearrange collagen fibers, which continues over 3 to 6 months. Hence, the correct post-treatment observation can only be made many months after the previous or final treatment.

These programs generally require from three (3) to five (5) sessions from 60 to 90 mins each. You will see Smoother, Clearer, Tighter skin. A fabulous overall result! “The results obtained with elos demonstrate significant reduction in the signs of aging. Improvement of the wrinkles in these cases is dramatic, and from my experience is equivalent to laser resurfacing.” - Michael Kulick M.D.And Dr Tina Alster, MD and founding director of the Washington Institute of Dermatologic Laser Surgery said, “While there are many non-ablative lasers and light sources available, the elos technology actually helps to tighten tissue as well as help with collagen remodeling and skin tone. In our study using elos treatments, we showed vast improvement of wrinkles around the eyes and mouth, as well as improvement in the skin tone and laxity of the cheeks”.

Developed by IPL inventor/patent-holder Dr. Shimon Eckhouse and master physicist, Dr. Michael Kreindel, this revolutionary technology platform effectively overcomes the safety and procedural limitations of intense pulse light (IPL) and conventional lasers. |
